On est toutes la Malinche

Stop pretending, it fucking took you one comment.
Don't lie, deep inside you know it was a matter of stupid pride
like always, you say you don't care but sure you do
I recognize that predictable face,
that arrogant smile, there is no humility
no... it is you, it is me and my never-obsolete self-preservation laws

You are starting to feel something else don't you?
You felt it that night
No breakfast? No movie? No coffee?
Je te téléphone quand je finis
11 heures le soir... rien
you know you are walking around because you are mad.

That is why you are running
you are feeling, you can't concentrate, you need that edge
Same feeling every time, toujours la même histoire
Paris... tu es vraiment hypocrite!
Buenos Aires... siempre lo más fácil
Mexico... no, simplemente no.

Otra vez ese vacio en el estómago
El sol ya entra por la ventana del sótano,
tú sigues aquí Mariele, sentada en la misma mesa de la biblioteca
sin leer, sin concentrarte, sin hablar,
con solo ganas de tomar todos los libros...
¡todos!, tirarlos al piso correr entre ellos y
de pronto del piso tomar uno que diga
"Toma de Decisiones 101."
Una hora entera ha pasado sin que si quiera saques tu libro
piensas en él... como cada vez que escribes...
sientes un escalofrio... ¡Vete Mariele, empaca y como siempre vete!
Si sentiste de nuevo esa insatisfacción,
hace ya 7 (¡mierda 7!) años que encontraste la solución.

Time is passing and you cannot write 
You look across your room, see those green hills?
 those were the ones you were wearing,
when you gave him that good-bye kiss
now look to the floor, 
you didn't think those red bulls were here for so long
It was like that, lying on your naked mattress,
for who cares? is not like you need the red sheets 
Air France, Toronto-Paris, Confirm your flight
green hills, empty red bulls, no red sheets. 
Then you looked at that wall of yours,
pictures of your past, most of my real friends are not even there,
you look to the other one, maybe it was your obsession with art.
What the fuck Mariele just decide!
it doesn't matter if in January you said 'never again'
just take a decision and that's your closure.

Alo, c'est quoi la Malinche?
And you smile, you just smile full of happiness
La Maliché... C'est pas facile a comprendre
Alors tu veux prendre un verre et comme ca tu m'explique? 
Your Air France session has expired please log-in again
I'm sorry I have to finish writing my essay
yeah Mariele exactly the one you have not even started
  
Suspiras... como si más aire te fuera a ayudar,
an other hour has passed
quisieras ser el angel azul de la pintura de Chagall
'I'm going to start making decisions that you might not like'
he smiled, 'I think you've been doing that for quite a while'

¿Qué decidiste?, podemos irnos a Grecia por dos semanas
Alors tu pars en Argentine?
We should go to Dominican for a week
Tu sabes que quieres, quieres sentarte a ver caricaturas
todos los tomos de Charlie Hebdo,
leer a Marquez, leer Fuentes uno que otro cuento de Cortazar
quieres estar haciendo nada para pensar en todo
1am el espejo... I don't want to end like that
el boleto más barato, ahí vas...
