Exquisite Corpse

Fito Páez

CadáVer Exquisito

Comienza el día y una luz sentimental
Nos envuelve, vuelve, se va
La fabulosa sinfonía universal
Nos envuelve, vuelve, se va

Tango, sexo, sexo y amor
Tanto, tango, tanto dolor

Mi vida gira en contradicción
Jamás conquiste mi corazón
¿Mas dónde estaba cuando pasó, lo que pasó?
Hablándome al espejo, solo

Vengo de un barrio tan mezquino y criminal
Quizás te queme, queme, quizás
Vengo de un barrio siempre a punto de estallar
Quizás te queme, queme, quizás

Si de nada sirve vivir
Buscas algo porque morir

El tiempo me ha enseñado a mirar
Y a veces me ha enseñado a callar
Donde estabas cuando pasó, lo que pasó?
Hablándote al espejo sola

Es tanta la tristeza y es tan ruin
Que celebro la experiencia feliz
La estupidez del mundo nunca pudo y nunca podrá
Arrebatar la sensualidad

Busco mi piedra filosofal
En los siete locos, en el mar
En el cadáver exquisito al no tener piedad
En la quinta esencia de la música
Dentro mío, en el amor
Y el
Odio tener que pensar (que pensar)
Preferiría tu sonrisa, toda la verdad
Avanzo un paso, retrocedo
Y vuelvo a preguntar
Que algo cambie para no cambiar jamás
Todo es imperfecto, amor y odio

Exquisite Corpse

The day begins and a sentimental light
It envelops us, it comes back, it goes away
The fabulous universal symphony
It envelops us, it comes back, it goes away

Tango, sex, sex and love
So much tango, so much pain

My life revolves around contradiction
Never conquer my heart
But where were you when what happened happened?
Talking to myself in the mirror, alone

I come from such a mean and criminal neighborhood
Maybe I'll burn you, burn you, maybe
I come from a neighborhood always on the verge of exploding
Maybe I'll burn you, burn you, maybe

If there is no point in living
You are looking for something to die for

Time has taught me to look
And sometimes it has taught me to be silent
Where were you when what happened happened?
Talking to yourself in the mirror

There is so much sadness and it is so mean
I celebrate the happy experience
The stupidity of the world never could and never will
Snatching sensuality

I'm looking for my philosopher's stone
In the seven madmen, in the sea
In the exquisite corpse by having no mercy
In the quintessence of music
Inside me, in love
And the
I hate having to think (what to think)
I would prefer your smile, the whole truth
I take a step forward, I take a step back
And I ask again
Let something change so that it never changes again
Everything is imperfect, love and hate

I would prefer your smile, the whole truth
I take a step forward, I take a step back
And I ask again
Let something change so that it never changes again
Everything is imperfect, love and hate
