El Gato Sabio
Andrés Lewin
The Wise Cat
You put sugar in the alarm clock
I ask the time to the coffee
and on the radio they tell us the same as last night
but a little worse
You tell me to come and I say I'm coming
and my little cat also approaches
because he gets jealous, looks at us and wonders
'what are these two doing, not stopping touching each other,
and starting again?'
And I have to answer him that...
'You are an irrational little animal
and you don't understand love and I
will explain to you
that I can't explain to you
so it's better
that you look the other way'
Well, there are portions of yesterday's pizza
I turn on the TV to see how it is
'Better turn it off because with so many dead people, it takes away the appetite
for dinner'
And if we can't do anything
and where are we going to end up
and my little cat puts on glasses, gets on a lectern
and tells us 'meow! From my humble opinion
your species is doing it terribly,
don't tell me love stories that...
I am an irrational little animal
and I don't understand love
and you are going to explain to me...
what the hell are you going to explain to me?
You'll say that the dead people on the news
have died of love
