Ni ta Ku Fonela (Telefonar)

I know the list is long
Of all the times your man was gone
And my book of excuses
Barely fits on the shelf
Sometimes I don’t even have a moment to call

When I’m in the studio
I forget everything
And make music my whole world
And you say it’s absurd
That I can’t find a single minute
To even pick up my phone and call

Your rival is music
Your rival is time
But always one at a time
If I’m in the music, I don’t have time
You always come last
And sometimes I don’t even plan to call

Just to let you know I’ll be late
Or to apologize for not coming
And when I think about calling you
I don’t have any credit
And this time it’s just another time
That I can’t stop and call

To say I love you and that I have an interview tomorrow
At the time we agreed for me to take you to the dentist
Shit, damn
I really have to call

I borrowed a phone
I know your number by heart
It’s early morning, but I’m gonna call
And see if I can avoid the worst
I’m happy, tomorrow you won’t accuse me
Of not even calling

Call, call and you don’t answer
I’ll call the landline, still no one answers
Must be the hour
And it’s just another time I didn’t call

Calling you
Calling you
Calling you
Wene, wene, wene, wene

Since I saw lies in the truths
I split myself in halves
Half boyfriend
And we only date half of our afternoons
And half want the fans who are always calling

To talk to Azagaia even after eleven
And you answer the phone like who is it this time
It’s a female voice that says
Tell him to call

And you ask who she is
I say I don’t know her
I’m an artist and many times
I have to pay that price
And you storm out, irritated
Telling me not to call

And we’re on the outs
You don’t answer my calls
I buy flowers and chocolates
I’ll hunt you down the stairs
My love, why don’t you answer when I call
I’m always calling

And then we make up
Today I’m not for anyone
I forget my name on the posters
I forget fans and paparazzi
I forget the world outside
And I won’t answer if someone calls me

And we make love
Actually, we reinvent love
And you understand the new concept
In every drop of my sweat
And you laugh at the times you got mad for me not calling.
