La Veronica
Fito Páez
The Veronica
It wasn't filmed in Portugal, that wasn't in her plan
She unpacked her bags, lit a cigarette, and went down to the city
Rome wasn't so bad, I must admit, not bad at all
Something keeps the spell, she thought and let herself go
For a guy walking alone down Calvary Street
Real sequence shot, I just have to walk
If she was sure of something, it was that her Veronica wouldn't cry
Afternoon of crucifixion, they nail the son of God
She keeps the script in a yellow bag
And throws herself into the sun, to dance
All lives fell into the sea
And it's so smooth to see them
All lives fell into the sea
And they go, and they go, and they go
She wanted to make him so happy
Exterior, day, take 22
And the sweat of Christ drawn on a cloth
All lives fell into the sea
And it's so smooth to see them
All lives fell into the sea
And they go, and they go, and they go
She wanted to make him so happy
He wanted love, not an actress
She wanted to make him so happy
He and his heart of ivory
Designed to resist
The charms of jasmine
I don't know why
He chose her sweet skin
Maybe because he saw her so alone
I don't even know why
He chose that woman
She just went crazy
And the sweat of Christ drawn on a cloth
All lives fell into the sea
And it's so smooth to see them
All lives fell into the sea
And they go, and they go, and they go
She wanted to make him so happy
He wanted love, not an actress
She wanted to make him so happy...
Exterior, day, take 22
And the sweat of Christ drawn on a cloth
