El futuro

 

(*) Julio Cortazar

Y sé muy bien que no estarás.
No estarás en la calle
en el murmullo que brota de la noche
de los postes de alumbrado,
ni en el gesto de elegir el menú,
ni en la sonrisa que alivia los completos en los subtes
ni en los libros prestados,
ni en el hasta mañana.
No estarás en mis sueños,
en el destino original de mis palabras,
ni en una cifra telefónica estarás,
o en el color de un par de guantes
o una blusa.
Me enojaré
amor mío
sin que sea por ti,
y compraré bombones
pero no para ti,
me pararé en la esquina
a la que no vendrás
y diré las cosas que sé decir
y comeré las cosas que sé comer
y soñaré los sueños que se sueñan.
Y se muy bien que no estarás
ni aquí dentro de la cárcel donde te retengo,
ni allí afuera
en ese río de calles y de puentes.
No estarás para nada,
no serás mi recuerdo
y cuando piense en ti
pensaré un pensamiento
que oscuramente trata de acordarse de ti.

Out of time

Yeah, yeah

The last few months, I've been working on me, baby

There's so much trauma in my life

I've been so cold to the ones who loved me, baby

I look back now and I realize

I remember when I held you

You begged me with your drowning eyes to stay

And I regret I didn't tell you

Now I can't keep you from loving him, you made up your mind

Say I love you, girl, but I'm out of time

Say I'm there for you, but I'm out of time

Say that I'll care for you, but I'm out of time

Said, I'm too late to make you mine, out of time (ah)

If he mess up just a little, baby, you know my line

If you don't trust him a little, then come right back, girl, come right back

Gimme one chance, just a little, baby, I'll treat you right

And I'll love you like I should've loved you all the time

And I remember when I held you (held you, baby)

You begged me with your drowning eyes to stay (never again, baby)

And I regret I didn't tell you

Now I can't keep you from loving him, you made up your mind (uh)

Say I love you, girl, but I'm out of time

Say I'm there for you, but I'm out of time (no)

Say that I'll care for you, but I'm out of time (hey)

Said, I'm too late to make you mine, out of time (ah)

Ooh-ooh-ooh, singing (out of time)

Said, I had you to myself, but I'm (out of time)

Say that I'll care for you, but I'm out of time

But I'm too late to make you mine, out of time (uh)

Out of time, out of time

Don't you dare touch that dial

Because like the song says, you are out of time

You're almost there, but don't panic

There's still more music to come before you're completely engulfed

In the blissful embrace of that little light you see in the distance

Soon you'll be healed, forgiven, and refreshed, free from all trauma, pain, guilt, and shame

You may even forget your own name, but before you dwell in that house forever

Here's 30 minutes of easy listening to some slow tracks, on 103.5 Dawn FM

On melancholy hill

 

(*) Gorillaz

Up on Melancholy Hill
There's a plastic tree
Are you here with me?
Just looking out on the day
Of another dream

Well you can't get what you want
But you can get me
So let's set out to sea, love
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me
When you're close to me

So call in the submarines
'Round the world we'll go
Does anybody know, love
If we're looking out on the day
Of another dream?

If you can't get what you want
Then come with me

Up on Melancholy Hill
Sits a manatee
Just looking out for the day
When you're close to me
When you're close to me

When you're close to me
