Eclipse de Mar

Today the newspaper says
That a woman I knew has died
That Atleti lost in their field
And that it dawned snowing in Paris

They caught a cocaine stash
That it's Pisces and Aquarius' turn
The vinegar and the gall
That the European Parliament approved

A law in favor of abolishing desire
That the anti-AIDS vaccine failed
That a coup d'état has succeeded on the Moon
And stuff like that

But today's press said nothing
About this dirty passion
About this brown Monday
About the obscene taste of rum and coke on your skin
About the smell of cheap cologne at dawn

Today, my love, as always
The newspaper didn't talk about you, nor about me
Today, my love, just like yesterday, as always
The newspaper didn't talk about you, nor about me

Today the radio said
That they found the dead child I used to be
That they paid a fortune
For a fake Dalí watercolor

That the stock market crashed in the sky
That the whores are still on a sex strike in Moscow
That the tide rose
That they will shoot Jesus of Judea tomorrow

That the ozone hole grew
That today's man is the father of the monkey of the year 2000
But today's program said nothing
About this sea eclipse
About this leap of faith

About your voice trembling on the answering machine tape
About the stains that oblivion leaves on the mattress
Today, my love, as always
The newspaper didn't talk about you, nor about me

Today, my love, just like yesterday, as always
The newspaper didn't talk about you, nor about me
