La Gent Normal

He had been cultivating for Greece
and had learned how important it is to travel...
And I..., I listened and said: yes-yes, yes-yes, of course...

His father accumulated great wealth... And I said:
wow, in this case, please, cancel the beer
and give us..., give us the expensive wine. He thought it was great.
He took a sip, looked at me and said:

I want to live like others live.
I want to do things that normal people do.
I want to sleep with those who sleep, I'm talking to you
about getting into bed with normal people like you.

And assuming..., assuming that role, I said:
Well, let's see what can be done.

I walked her through the neighborhood market.
It seemed like a suitable stage to start...
I said: okay, now pretend you have no money...
And she laughed, and said: oh, how funny,
how crazy you are, you're sooo funny...!
Well, frankly, dear, it doesn't seem to me
that anyone is laughing here.
Have you really thought about...
Living as others do,
seeing the things normal people see,
sleeping with those who sleep,
getting into bed with normal people like me...

And she didn't..., didn't understand anything... And grabbed my arm!!!
Sharing an apartment with strangers, looking for a formal job,
taking the metro in the mornings, going to the cinema some nights.
But you'll never understand, what's happening over the years,
waiting for the solution, to take away so much fear.
No... you'll never live as others do,
nor suffer like normal people suffer,
you'll never understand the failures of others, you'll never understand
how dreams slip away from us
in laughing and drinking and getting by, and if you can, you know,
having sex from time to time.

Try singing, if others do it,
and sing loudly, if you find it interesting.
Laugh out loud, if others do it,
but don't be surprised, if you turn around, that they laugh at you,
don't be surprised if they're fed up... with you,
playing at being like normal people.

I want to sleep with normal people like you...
I want to sleep with normal people like you...
I want to sleep with normal people like you...
