La Telenovela

Joaquín: Mr. judge, Mr. judge
This letter is for you
I abandon this life
Since nothing consoles me
My wife has left me
For a soap opera...
When I arrive home
It never smells like food
My wife always in her room
And the TV on
When she watches the soap opera
She even forgets my name
She gives me a kiss and says...
Lucía: 'Luis Alfredo of my life'
Joaquín: Hey, it's me
Lucía: 'Luis Alfredo of my life'
Joaquín: Hey, it's me
Lucía: 'Luis Alfredo of my life'
Let me tell you
She is pregnant
That child is not his
But he doesn't know anything
Joaquín: I won't worry about it
I won't say a word
For a plate of food
And a cold beer
Hey, please!
A cold beer
Chorus: Hey, please
A cold beer
Joaquín and chorus: She doesn't talk to me, doesn't look at me
Doesn't bathe, doesn't cook
The children are hungry
The youngest had a cramp
Our dog died
And our grandmother is going to die
But at home, there's no one who can
With the soap opera
Joaquín: Oh, no! No one can
With a soap opera
Oh no! No one can
With a soap opera
Chorus: Oh, no! No one can
With a soap opera
Oh no! No one can
With a soap opera
Joaquín: I thought to myself
This will end someday
Ma'am, do you watch the soap opera?
I asked a neighbor
She said it was short
That it would end soon
Neighbor, it's episode 800
There are still 500 left
Joaquín: Hey, what a horror;
There are still 500 left
Chorus: Hey, what a horror;
There are still 500 left
Joaquín and chorus: She doesn't talk to me, doesn't look at me
Doesn't bathe, doesn't cook
The children are hungry
The youngest had a cramp
Our dog died
And our grandmother is going to die
But at home, there's no one who can
With the soap opera
Joaquín: Mr. judge, Mr. judge
I have thought about this well
And I regret to tell you
That I can no longer commit suicide
I need to know
The end
Of the soap opera
Joaquín and chorus: She doesn't talk to me, doesn't look at me
Doesn't bathe, doesn't cook
The children are hungry
The youngest had a cramp
Our dog died
And our grandmother is going to die
But at home, there's no one who can
With the soap opera
