No Hago Otra Cosa Que Pensar En Ti
Joan Manuel Serrat
I Do Nothing But Think of You
I do nothing but think of you...
To flatter you and to make it known,
I took paper and pencil, and spread
the tokens of your love on the table.
I was looking for a song and got lost
in a pile of worn-out words.
I do nothing but think of you
and nothing comes to mind.
I light a cigarette, and another one...
One of these days I must seriously consider
quitting smoking,
with that cough that hits me when I wake up...
I searched, looking at the sky, for inspiration
and got 'stuck' in the heights.
By the way, the ceiling could really use
a fresh coat of paint.
I looked out the window and ran away
with a girl riding a bicycle.
I was distracted by a neighbor who also
was just scratching his head.
I do nothing but think of you...
Nothing pleases me more than making songs,
but today the muses have abandoned me.
They must be on vacation...
