El Diccionario

Perhaps the world has never been what we believed and
It's just the dream of a sleeping dog
Too much silence is always too much noise
What is love? I still haven't decided

God is a divine black woman playing the piano
Traffic jams are theaters for soprano cars
To lie is to say 'I love you' to someone else every month
Possibly life is a jazz jam

I bet what we have is something nameless
Whiskey on the rocks is lipstick for men
Your answering machine is a girl who answers
With a sad voice, saying you left and she doesn't know where

Darkness is a hotel for those hiding from the rest
My heart is a broken down Gran Torino
The moon is a gift for lovers with no money
Time is an incurable disease, every time I wait for you

But
You continue to be light
You continue to be light

I write a dictionary for you and for me
To understand that yes means no and no means yes
I write a nonsensical dictionary
Just for the pleasure of whispering it in your ear

Rain is a girl with no sense of humor
Loneliness is being alone with hundreds around
Freedom is choosing who the hell you fall in love with
Fingers are also calculators

Applause is gunpowder, the future is now
Laughter is a snitch and at the same time an impostor
Death is a tombola, cinemas, hospitals
Punctual killer alarm clocks

Your kisses are daggers
Each one capable of cutting off my breath
Tears are fleeting precious diamonds
Forgetting is the best way to make amends

Poetry is not a strange vocabulary
It's more about charmingly telling the neighborhood stories
My mind is an antique shop of things I no longer want
Without you, I'm a dead man hidden in the trunk

But, you continue to be light
You continue to be light

I write a dictionary for you and for me
To understand that yes means no and no means yes
I write a nonsensical dictionary
Just for the pleasure of whispering it in your ear
