Eclipse de mar [English translation]

Today the newspaper says

that a woman I knew has died

that the Atletic lost in its field

and Paris woke up snowing

that a bag of cocaine was found

that Pisces and Aquarius

will have vinegar and bile

that the European parliament approved

a law in support of abolishing the lust

that the vaccine against the AIDS has failed

that a coup d'etat succeeded on the moon

and stuff like that

But today's newspaper said nothing about

this dirty passion, this brown Monday

the obscene flavor of rum and coke in your skin

the smell of cheap cologne of the dawn

this room without socks nor kisses

this august cold in the bones

like a surgical knife

Today dear, like always

They didn't talk about you on the news

They didn't talk about you on the news

They didn't talk about you on the news, nor about me

Today dear, like yesterday, like always

They didn't talk about you on the news

They didn't talk about you on the news

They didn't talk about you on the news, nor about me

Today the radio said

that they found dead the child I was

that a huge amount was paid

for a false Dali watercolor

that heaven's stock market went up

that that whores in Moscow are still on heat strike

that the tide rose,

that Jesus of Judea will be executed tomorrow

that the ozone hole got bigger

that today's man is the father of the monkey

of the year 2000

But today's broadcast said nothing about

this sea eclipse, this deadly jump

your voice shivering in the answer machine tape

the stains that oblivion leaves through the mattress

the autumn like a menace

the pain of finding in the cups

your crimson prints

Today dear, like always

They didn't talk about you on the news

They didn't talk about you on the radio

They didn't talk about you on the news, nor about me

Today dear, like yesterday, like always

They didn't talk about you on the news

They didn't talk about you on the radio

They didn't talk about you on the news, nor about me
