Eclipse de Mar

Sea Eclipse

Today the newspaper says
That a woman I knew has died
That Athletic has fallen in their field
And that it has dawned snowing in Paris

That they found a bag of coke
That Pisces and Aquarius
Are in for vinegar and gall
That the European Parliament approved
A law in favor of abolishing desire
That the anti-AIDS vaccine failed
That a coup has succeeded on the moon
And things like that

But today's newspaper said nothing
About this dirty passion, this brown Monday
The obscene taste of rum and coke on your skin
The smell of cheap cologne at dawn
This room without stockings or kisses
This August cold in the bones
Like a scalpel

Today, my love, as always
The newspaper didn't talk about you
The newspaper didn't talk about you
The newspaper didn't talk about you, nor about me
Today, my love, just like yesterday, as always
The newspaper didn't talk about you
The newspaper didn't talk about you
The newspaper didn't talk about you, nor about me

Today the radio said
That they found the dead child I used to be
That they paid a fortune for a fake Dalí watercolor
That the stock market has risen in the sky
That the whores are still on a sex strike in Moscow
That the tide has risen
That they will shoot Jesus of Judea tomorrow
That the ozone hole has grown
That today's man is the father of the monkey
Of the year two thousand

But today's program said nothing
About this sea eclipse, this leap of faith
Your voice trembling on the answering machine tape
The stains that oblivion leaves on the mattress
Autumn as a threat
The pain of finding your lipstick traces
In the cups

Today, my love, as always
The newspaper didn't talk about you
The radio didn't talk about you
The newspaper didn't talk about you, nor about me
Today, my love, just like yesterday, as always
The newspaper didn't talk about you
The newspaper didn't talk about you
The newspaper didn't talk about you, nor about me
