El Diario No Hablaba de Ti

The Newspaper Didn't Talk About You
Today the newspaper says that a woman I knew has died
That Atleti lost in their field
And that it dawned snowing in Paris.
That they caught a cocaine stash,
That Pisces and Aquarius are in for vinegar and 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, 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, the newspaper didn't talk about you, 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, the newspaper didn't talk about you, the newspaper didn't talk about you, nor about me.
Today the radio said they found the dead child I used to be
That they paid a fortune for a fake Dalí watercolor.
That the stock market has fallen from 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,
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, the newspaper didn't talk about you, 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, the newspaper didn't talk about you, 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, the newspaper didn't talk about you, 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, the newspaper didn't talk about you, the newspaper didn't talk about you, nor about me.
