Corazon Roto

Mauro woke up that Tuesday
with a face like a new paragraph
Enough is enough, it's decided
Because I wasn't born to suffer

Upon hearing a very wise guru of some 96 lives
And without thinking 20 hours later
Mauro landed in India

And he climbed, he climbed the highest mountain
And when the old man was about to speak
He interrupted him before he could
He said...

For coffee there's sugar
For bread, butter
For growing, there's life

For tying yourself, guilt
To protect yourself, there's fear
And to make mistakes, listen to it

For the atheist, there's his mind
For the Christian, the cross
For the Buddhists, the lotus flower

But in all my years, son
I have never found peace for a broken heart

It goes in one ear and out the other
The wise words vanished

What does a monk ultimately know
About a love sickness like Mauro's

Very convinced, he called a friend
The most streetwise of all
Surely one of those nights
Would be the best remedy

And he drank, everything in front of him
And in the midst of alcohol enthusiasm
His buddy got poetic
And said

For falling in love, there's Paris
To forget, Las Vegas
For regret, the Vatican

For warmth, winter
For dreaming, autumn
And for getting naked, summer

To remember, marriage
To go crazy, divorce
And to lower oneself, revenge

But believe me, my friend
You can't do business
With a broken heart

You have to cry, a thousand tears you have to cry
We only have the option to choose
Whether it's now or later

It will hurt, a thousand nights it will hurt
There's no amnesty
No intellectual gymnastics
That can set you free

Tell me, Mauro

I've spoken to wise men so wise
That with just one word they say 50 sentences
I've studied many books
I've uncorked a thousand bottles
Seeking to reach the bottom

I've consulted the mirror
I've listened to a thousand fools
With intelligent faces

To conclude that there's no remedy
Neither near nor far, for a broken heart

Someone tell me what to do for a broken heart

Tell me

Someone tell me what to do for a broken heart

Tell me if there's a syrup for a broken heart
Tell me if there's a syrup for a broken heart

One of those little pills for a broken heart
Tell me if there's a remedy for a broken heart

Tell me tell me tell me ohh tell me
