I Want to Be an Almodóvar Girl
I want to be an Almodovar girl
like Maura, like Victoria Abril
a little smart, a little stupid,
Go with Madonna in a limousine.
I want to be an Almodovar girl
like BibÃ, like Miguel Bosé
to go through everything and not go out of style,
to dance with you the last cuplé.
And don't stop traveling from winter to summer,
from Madrid to New York, from embrace to oblivion,
leave yourself in the darkness listening to the noise
of distant heels.
Find the way out of this gray labyrinth,
without passion or sin, nor madness or incest,
have a different lover in each port
not shout what have I done, to deserve this !
I want to be an Almodovar girl
like Pepi, like Luci like Bom
sell Garbo my bedroom secrets,
wear mourning for a matador.
I want to be an Almodovar girl
that she begs her boy: Attract me!
not give my soul except to those who steal it from me,
have breakfast at Tifanis with him.
And not let them eat my shit
those dodgy moves of Croats and Serbs
going through life on the verge of a nervous breakdown,
in skirts and going crazy.
br/>Find the exit from this gray labyrinth,
without passion or sin, neither madness nor incest,
have a different lover in each port
not shout what have I done, to deserve this!
As I am stupid to write my memoirs,
sign up for any type of bombardment
have no other faith than the skin,
no more law than the law of desire.
Find the exit from this gray labyrinth,
without passion or sin, neither madness nor incest,
have a different lover in each port
not shout what have I done, to deserve this!
