Description
The scene is like something out of an old soap opera: a patch of light on the floor, ashes falling onto a plate with uneaten leftovers, and words ringing out into the void like lines that no one will hear. Everything turns into theatrical chaos - from broken dishes to frayed nerves - and that is what gives the scene its strange beauty.
Here, bitterness is mixed with humour, pain with self-irony, and tears with small victories, like a cigarette smoked blindly. This is the music of those evenings when drama is lived honestly, with complete immersion in the role, and then they applaud themselves for the best episode.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Ay, para qué me asombró.
Otra vez jodida y con estos ojitos rojos.
Mmm, mmm.
Ay, me diste tan poco.
Es mi telenovela y ya me llaman los focos.
Llevo siete horas sentada en el suelo de casa hablando con nadie de ti, brindando con nadie por ti, comiendo sobras. Pongo temas de Nino
Bravo, me enciendo un cigarro sin saber ni siquiera fumarlo y me sacio sola.
Porque cuando este mundo va a romperme, es felizimo.
Si peor ya no puede ir, me presto a imaginarlo.
Yo, que yo estoy supertranquila, me salvo como sea con la que tengo encima, ay.
Rompiendo platos, cerrando los bares, quemando tu coche, limpiando cristales.
Ay. Guau.
Tengo el modo losatila y un poco destructiva.
Mañana ya será menos, pero hoy me imagino la telenovela al completo, con sus extras, su trama y su atrezo. Yo solita pregunto y contesto:
Ay, María.
Llevo siete horas sentada en el suelo de casa hablando con nadie de ti.
-Brindando con nadie por ti. -Comiendo sobras. Pongo temas de Nino
Bravo, me enciendo un cigarro sin saber ni siquiera fumarlo y me sacio sola.
Porque cuando este mundo va a romperme, es felizimo.
Si peor ya no puede ir, me presto a imaginarlo.
Ay, que yo puedo imaginarlo, aunque no es lo que está pasando.
Y ahora que ya no estás, ay, la verdad que te extraño.
Que si no vas a estar, aprenderé a desandarte andando.
Y ahora que ya no estás, olvidarte se hace largo.
Que si no vas a estar, me presto a imaginarlo. ¡Ombe!
Se acabó el capítulo, se ha acabado. A ver, yo pensaba que no, no se podía peor.
Hoy no es mi día de suerte.
Fue peor, fue peor. Que tú, qué va, que tú, qué tal, que tú, qué tal.
Pero fue.
No, de esta salgo yo.
A ver si salgo.
English translation
Oh, why did it surprise me?
Fucked again and with these little red eyes.
Mmm, mmm.
Oh, you gave me so little.
It's my soap opera and the spotlight is already calling me.
I've been sitting on the floor at home for seven hours talking to no one about you, toasting to no one about you, eating leftovers. I play Nino songs
Bravo, I light a cigarette without even knowing how to smoke it and it fills me up alone.
Because when this world is going to break me, it is very happy.
If it can't get any worse, I'm willing to imagine it.
I, who am super calm, save myself with whatever I have on me, alas.
Breaking dishes, closing bars, burning your car, cleaning windows.
Oh. Wow.
I have the losatila mode and a little destructive.
Tomorrow it will be less, but today I imagine the soap opera in its entirety, with its extras, its plot and its props. I alone ask and answer:
Oh, Maria.
I've been sitting on the floor at home for seven hours talking to no one about you.
-Toasting anyone for you. -Eating leftovers. I play Nino songs
Bravo, I light a cigarette without even knowing how to smoke it and it fills me up alone.
Because when this world is going to break me, it is very happy.
If it can't get any worse, I'm willing to imagine it.
Oh, I can imagine it, although it is not what is happening.
And now that you're gone, oh, the truth is that I miss you.
If you're not going to be there, I'll learn to walk back.
And now that you're gone, forgetting you takes a long time.
If you're not going to be there, I'm ready to imagine it. Ombe!
The chapter is over, it's over. Let's see, I thought no, it couldn't get any worse.
Today is not my lucky day.
It was worse, it was worse. What's up, what's up, what's up, what's up, what's up.
But it was.
No, I'm out of this.
Let's see if I get out.
