Don't Look at Photographs

No Mires Fotografías

My friend, you spend your lifeAmiga mía, pasas la vida
Looking at photographsMirando fotografías
In magazinesEn las revistas
Celebrity weddingsBodas de artistas
Lots of love divorcesMucho divorcio de amor

Enthralled and embalmedEmbelesada y embalsamada
With your nose stuckCon la nariz bien pegada
To little figures, that give you datesA figuritas, que te dan citas
With weekly devotionCon semanal devoción

Beautiful reader, wake upBella leyente, despierta
The prince already came and didn't even look at youQue ya vino el príncipe y ni te miró
You were reading comicsIba leyendo historietas
About Superman and Asterix with the dragonDe Superman y Astérix con el dragón

Your sleepless nightTu noche en vela
Is wallpaperedTe la empapela
With Eros in photo novelsEros con fotonovelas
Freckles from little eyes, written kissesPecas de ojito, besos escritos
Lots of male adulteryMucho adulterio varón

You know for a whileSabes un rato
Gossips and factsChismes y datos
From lying portraitsDe mentirosos retratos
You cry and laugh over mannequinsLloras y ríes por maniquíes
But not over your neighborY por tu prójimo no

Beautiful reader, wake upBella leyente, despierta
The prince already came and didn't even look at youQue ya vino el príncipe y ni te miró
You were reading comicsIba leyendo historietas
About Superman and Asterix with the dragonDe Superman y Astérix con el dragón

Break the bad luck and the embarrassmentRompe la yeta y el papelón
You didn't see the princeNo viste al príncipe
And he didn't see youY él no te vio
And now they bothY ahora se encuentran
Are cluelessEn babia los dos
