No Mires Fotografías
María Elena Walsh
Don't Look at Photographs
My friend, you spend your life
Looking at photographs
In magazines
Celebrity weddings
Lots of love divorces
Enthralled and embalmed
With your nose stuck
To little figures, that give you dates
With weekly devotion
Beautiful reader, wake up
The prince already came and didn't even look at you
You were reading comics
About Superman and Asterix with the dragon
Your sleepless night
Is wallpapered
With Eros in photo novels
Freckles from little eyes, written kisses
Lots of male adultery
You know for a while
Gossips and facts
From lying portraits
You cry and laugh over mannequins
But not over your neighbor
Beautiful reader, wake up
The prince already came and didn't even look at you
You were reading comics
About Superman and Asterix with the dragon
Break the bad luck and the embarrassment
You didn't see the prince
And he didn't see you
And now they both
Are clueless
