CadáVer Exquisito

Exquisite Corpse

CadáVer Exquisito

The day begins and a sentimental lightComienza el día y una luz sentimental
It envelops us, it comes back, it goes awayNos envuelve, vuelve, se va
The fabulous universal symphonyLa fabulosa sinfonía universal
It envelops us, it comes back, it goes awayNos envuelve, vuelve, se va

Tango, sex, sex and loveTango, sexo, sexo y amor
So much tango, so much painTanto, tango, tanto dolor

My life revolves around contradictionMi vida gira en contradicción
Never conquer my heartJamás conquiste mi corazón
But where were you when what happened happened?¿Mas dónde estaba cuando pasó, lo que pasó?
Talking to myself in the mirror, aloneHablándome al espejo, solo

I come from such a mean and criminal neighborhoodVengo de un barrio tan mezquino y criminal
Maybe I'll burn you, burn you, maybeQuizás te queme, queme, quizás
I come from a neighborhood always on the verge of explodingVengo de un barrio siempre a punto de estallar
Maybe I'll burn you, burn you, maybeQuizás te queme, queme, quizás

If there is no point in livingSi de nada sirve vivir
You are looking for something to die forBuscas algo porque morir

Time has taught me to lookEl tiempo me ha enseñado a mirar
And sometimes it has taught me to be silentY a veces me ha enseñado a callar
Where were you when what happened happened?Donde estabas cuando pasó, lo que pasó?
Talking to yourself in the mirrorHablándote al espejo sola

There is so much sadness and it is so meanEs tanta la tristeza y es tan ruin
I celebrate the happy experienceQue celebro la experiencia feliz
The stupidity of the world never could and never willLa estupidez del mundo nunca pudo y nunca podrá
Snatching sensualityArrebatar la sensualidad

I'm looking for my philosopher's stoneBusco mi piedra filosofal
In the seven madmen, in the seaEn los siete locos, en el mar
In the exquisite corpse by having no mercyEn el cadáver exquisito al no tener piedad
In the quintessence of musicEn la quinta esencia de la música
Inside me, in loveDentro mío, en el amor
And theY el
I hate having to think (what to think)Odio tener que pensar (que pensar)
I would prefer your smile, the whole truthPreferiría tu sonrisa, toda la verdad
I take a step forward, I take a step backAvanzo un paso, retrocedo
And I ask againY vuelvo a preguntar
Let something change so that it never changes againQue algo cambie para no cambiar jamás
Everything is imperfect, love and hateTodo es imperfecto, amor y odio
