Cumbiera Intelectual
La conocí en una bailanta todo apretado
Nos tropezamos, pero fui yo el que se puso Colorado
Era distinta y diferente su meneada
Y un destello inteligente había en su mirada
Cuando le dije si quería bailar conmigo
Se puso a hablar de Jung, de Freud y Lacan
Mi idiosincracia le causaba mucha gracia
Me dijo al girar la cumbiera intelectual
Me dijo al girar
Esa cumbiera intelectual
Jung, Freud, Simone de Beauvoir, Gothe, Beckett
Cosmos, Gershwin, Kurt Weill, Guggenheim
Estudiaba una carrera poco conocida
Algo con ver con letra y filosofía
Era linda y hechizera su contoneada
Y sus ojos de lince me atravesaban
Cuando intenté arrimarle mi brazo
Se puso a hablar de Miller, de Anais Nin y Picasso
Y si osaba intentar robarle un beso
Se ponía a leer de Neruda unos versos
Me hizo mucho mal la cumbiera intelectual
No la puedo olvidar
A esa cumbiera intelectual
Paul Klee, Ante Garmaz, Kandinsky, Diego, Fridha
Tolstoi, Bolshoi, Terry Gilliam, Shakespeare William
Si le decía: Vamos al cine, rica
Me decía: Veamos una de Kusturica
Si le decía: Vamos a oler las flores
Me hablaba de Virginia Wolf y sus amores
Me hizo mucho mal la cumbiera intelectual
No la puedo olvidar
A esa cumbiera intelectual
Le pedí que me enseñe a usar el mouse
Pero solo quiere hablarme del Bauhaus
Le pregunté si era chorra o rockera
Me dijo: Gertrude Stein era re-tortillera
No la puedo olvidar
¡Yo no quiero que pienses tanto, cumbiera intelectual!
Yo voy a rezarle a tu santo para que te puedas soltar
Para que seas más normal
(Jarmusch, Cousteau, Cocteau, Arto, Maguy Marin
Twyla Tharp, Gilda, Visconti, Gismonti)
Aprendí sobre un tal Hesse y de un Thomas Mann
Y todo sobre el existencialismo en Paraguay
Y ella me sigue dando cátedra todo el día
Aunque por suerte de vez en cuando su cuerpo respira
Su cuerpo respira, su cuerpo respira
Yo no quiero que pienses tanto, cumbiera intelectual
Yo voy a rezarle a tu santo, para que seas más normal
Para que te puedas soltar
Cumbierita, cómo la quiero
Intellectual Cumbia Girl
I met her in a crowded dance hall
We bumped into each other, but I was the one who blushed
Her dance was different and unique
And there was an intelligent spark in her eyes
When I asked her to dance with me
She started talking about Jung, Freud, and Lacan
My idiosyncrasy amused her a lot
She said as we spun, the intellectual cumbia
She said as we spun
That intellectual cumbia girl
Jung, Freud, Simone de Beauvoir, Goethe, Beckett
Cosmos, Gershwin, Kurt Weill, Guggenheim
She was studying a little-known career
Something related to literature and philosophy
Her swaying was lovely and bewitching
And her lynx eyes pierced through me
When I tried to put my arm around her
She started talking about Miller, Anais Nin, and Picasso
And if I dared to steal a kiss
She would start reading verses from Neruda
The intellectual cumbia girl made me lovesick
I can't forget her
That intellectual cumbia girl
Paul Klee, Ante Garmaz, Kandinsky, Diego, Frida
Tolstoy, Bolshoi, Terry Gilliam, William Shakespeare
If I said: Let's go to the movies, babe
She would say: Let's watch a Kusturica film
If I said: Let's smell the flowers
She would talk about Virginia Woolf and her loves
The intellectual cumbia girl made me lovesick
I can't forget her
That intellectual cumbia girl
I asked her to teach me how to use the mouse
But she only wants to talk about Bauhaus
I asked her if she was preppy or a rocker
She said: Gertrude Stein was very lesbian
I can't forget her
I don't want you to think so much, intellectual cumbia girl!
I'm going to pray to your saint so you can loosen up
So you can be more normal
(Jarmusch, Cousteau, Cocteau, Artaud, Maguy Marin
Twyla Tharp, Gilda, Visconti, Gismonti)
I learned about a certain Hesse and a Thomas Mann
And all about german existencialism*
And she keeps giving me lectures all day
Although luckily, from time to time, her body breathes
Her body breathes, her body breathes
I don't want you to think so much, intellectual cumbia girl
I'm going to pray to your saint, so you can be more normal
So you can loosen up
Little cumbia girl, how I love her
