Sin Ti, Sin Mí

Without You, Without Me

What does sex do on the internet?
Modesty in the spotlight?
What does a porch do in Tel Aviv?
A pygmy in an igloo?
A doubt in a guru?
What does Frida do without suffering?

If, just like that, more easily a missile shoots roses
Than you a maybe
Who told me to be addicted to your kisses?
If the moon is not made of cheese
Nor your mouth a souvenir
What does a chaste person do in a motel?
What does a genius do in a barracks?
And what are you doing without me?

What are you doing?
What am I doing?
Auctioning in the market
Such improvised kisses
With spite to the bearer
What are you doing?
What am I doing?
Wasting in any bed
Whatever we feel like
To get back at both of us

What does a Monday do in summer?
A Jew without compatriots?
And what am I doing without you?

What does a hippie do in the office?
A killer whale in the pool?
A nun at carnival?
What do you do when you're alone?
Splashing around in the waves
Of a past that's gone

What do I do when Sunday is in the afternoon?
And the champion becomes a coward and asks
Where are you?
I'm not up for Neruda's verses anymore
If my bed doesn't feature
Not even a good rented kiss
What does the Louvre do without the Mona Lisa?
A nudist with a shirt?
And what am I doing without you?

What are you doing?
What am I doing?
Auctioning in the market
Such improvised kisses
With spite to the bearer
What are you doing?
What am I doing?
Wasting in any bed
Whatever we feel like
To get back at both of us

What does a February 30th do?
What does a king do without an heir?
And what am I doing without you?
