Regina Spektor.- Ode to divorce


Tenía piernas bonitas [dos] y una mirada dulce que, a veces, escondía detrás de unos rizos oscuros, a veces rojos. Sus manos guardaban la sabiduría, sus caderas eran la cárcel de mis ojos.

Nuestro amor murió [sin matar, como diría Sabina], o al menos el suyo. Yo le guardo un rinconcito en el desván de mi corazón, en una hermosa caja dorada llena de fotos, anillos, billetes de tren y un juego de las llaves del piso que empezamos a comprar.

El lunes empezamos a firmar el divorcio. Es lo que ella quiere. Y tal vez sea lo mejor. Probablemente. Así que mejor sonreir, estoy vivo para recordarla. Son muchos meses ya de tristeza, de llanto y de intentar retener la esperanza. No ha lugar.

Hoy, por primera vez, serenamente, puedo mostrar media sonrisa mientras escribo "divorcio". Pero es a ella a quien le gustaba Regina Spektor.

The food that I’m eating
Is suddenly tasteless
I know I’m alone now
I know what it tastes like
So break me to small parts
Let go in small doses
But spare some for spare parts
There might be some good ones
Like you might make a dollar
I’m inside your mouth now
Behind your tonsils
Peeking over your molars
You’re talking to her now
And you’ve eaten something minty
And you’re making that face that I like
And you’re going in, in for the kill, kill
For the killer kiss, kiss for the kiss, kiss

I need your money, it’ll help me
I need your car and I need your love x2
So won’t you help a brother out?
Won’t you help a brother out?
Won’t you help a brother out, out, out, out, out?

So break me to small parts
Let go in small doses
But spare some for spare parts
You might make a dollar
Dollar, might make a dollar

So won’t you help a brother out?
Won’t you help a brother out?
Won’t you help a brother out, out, out, out, out?

So break me to small parts
Let go in small doses
But spare some for spare parts
There might be some good ones
You might make a dollar
(There might be some good ones)
There might be some good ones
(You might make a dollar)
You might make a dollar
(There might be some good ones)
There might be some good ones
