No tengo agua caliente en el calefón
I don't have hot water in the heater
No tengo que escribir canciones de amor
I don't have to write love songs
¿No ves que espero resucitar
Don't you see I'm waiting to revive
Mientras miras esos ojos de video tape?
While you gaze into those videotape eyes?
Ya llega aquel examen del bien y el mal
That exam of good and evil is coming
Ya llegan las noticias cruzando el mar
The news is already crossing the sea
¿No ves que el mundo gira al revés
Don't you see the world spins backward
Mientras miras esos ojos de video tape?
While you gaze into those videotape eyes?
Este mundo extrañará por siempre
This world will forever miss
La película que vi una vez
The movie I saw once
Y este mundo te dirá que siempre
And this world will tell you that always
Que es mejor mirar a la pared
That it's better to look at the wall
Ya tienes las postales del Paraguay
You already have the postcards from Paraguay
Ya tienes la valija sobre el diván
You already have the suitcase on the couch
Te vas, el mundo gira al revés
You're leaving, the world spins backward
Mientras miras esos ojos de video tape
While you gaze into those video tape eyes
Este mundo extrañará por siempre
This world will forever miss
La película que vi una vez
The movie I saw once
Y este mundo te dirá que siempre
And this world will tell you that always
Que es mejor mirar a la pared
That it's better to look at the wall
