Lyrics
Draw this picture:
a lovely girl in a hot bath,
listening to Sinatra.
Here’s the story as she told it to me:
behind above and under
thinking of you
while bathing to Sinatra
remembering the things you do
gradually a feeling
was growing so strong
instead of just relaxing
I helped it along
DESPELOTE*
que quilombo
el agua en el piso
y se me perdió el mundo
next day while i was working
daydreaming of you
while listening to mozart
Imagining magic flutes
gradually a feeling
was growing so strong
instead of concentrating
I helped it along
despelote
que quilombo
papeles en el piso
y se me perdió el mundo
*(English translation: both "despelote" and "quilombo" are Argentine slang loosely meaning "fantastic disorder/pandemonium." Next: water (agua)/papers (papeles) on the floor and I blacked out (se me perdió el mundo, literally "I lost the world")
