R She puts old bread on her balcony
To attract the sparrows, the pigeons
She lives her life by proxy
In front of her TV set vision.
1 Get up without waking up, with the sun
Without noise, without anxiety, the day goes by
Ironing, dust, there is always something to do
Lonely meal, as a point of reference.
2 The house so neat, that it is suspicious
Like all these places where we do not live
Beings have gave in, lost the fight
Things won, it's their territory.
3 The times that break them, don't change them
The living fade, but the shadows not
Everything goes, everything works, without purpose, without why
From winter to autumn, neither fever nor cold.
R She puts old bread on her balcony
To attract the sparrows, the pigeons
She lives her life by proxy
In front of her television set.
She learns from the scandal press
The life of others which spread out
But ultimately from less worse to banal
She will end up finding it normal
She puts old bread on her balcony
To attract the sparrows , pigeons.
4 Creams and baths that make the skin soft
But it's been a long time since no one touched it
Months, years without anyone to love
And day after day the forgetting of love.
5 His dreams and desires so wise, so possible
Without cry, without delirium, without unacceptable
On ten or twenty pages of banal photos
A summary without mystery of years without light.
