Do Re Mi

Juan Carlos Baglietto

Do Re Mi

El se llamaba confusión
Tocaba un viejo acordeón
Y a su mujer
La conocían todos por: Lili Marlene
Se enamoraron en un club
Después de un año catapún
Por carnaval
La bruja huyo con fumanchú despues del vals

Tambien estaba do-re-mi
Un perro que sin pedigree
Sabia ladrar hasta en latín
Y no mordia, mas que al gato del alguacíl

Y decian que era amor
La soledad que compartían
Un dia si, cuarenta no
Do-re-mi se lo creia
Igual que a ti, igual que a mi
La realidad los aplastaba
Pero cerraban al dormir
Los ojos y se la inventaban

Vivieron en cualquier ciudad
Todas se llaman ansiedad, como Madrid
Les daba vertigo mirar el porvenir
Volvía tan pancho do-re-mi
Un dia de regar con pis un abedúl
Y calculo mal el reprise del autobús
Y nunca mas volvió a lamer
El pantalon de su patrón
Cada vez que Lili Marlene
Con un recluta va camino de la pensión

Y decían que era amor
La soledad que compartían

Tal vez tenian razón
Puede que fuera amor
La soledad que compartian
Un dia sí, setenta veces siete no
Y do re mi se lo creía
Tal vez fuera verdad, como me pasa a mi
Las uñas negras de la vida los arañaba
Pero después cerraban al dormir
Los ojos y soñaban que soñaban
El se llamaba discreción
Tocaba un viejo acordeón
No le digas que le hemos hecho esta canción
Si lo encontrás

Do Re Mi

His name was Confusion
He played an old accordion
And his wife
Everyone knew her as: Lili Marlene
They fell in love in a club
After a year, kaboom
During Carnival
The witch ran off with Fumanchu after the waltz

There was also Do-Re-Mi
A dog with no pedigree
He could bark even in Latin
And he only bit, the sheriff's cat

And they said it was love
The loneliness they shared
One day yes, forty no
Do-Re-Mi believed it
Just like you, just like me
Reality crushed them
But they closed their eyes at night
And made it up

They lived in any city
All called Anxiety, like Madrid
It made them dizzy to look at the future
Do-Re-Mi came back so carefree
One day watering a birch with piss
And miscalculated the bus's return
And never licked again
His boss's pants
Every time Lili Marlene
With a recruit headed to the boarding house

And they said it was love
The loneliness they shared

Maybe they were right
Could be it was love
The loneliness they shared
One day yes, seventy times no
And Do-Re-Mi believed it
Maybe it was true, like it happens to me
Life's black nails scratched them
But then they closed their eyes at night
And dreamed they were dreaming
His name was Discretion
He played an old accordion
Don't tell him we made this song for him
If you find him.
