Comfortably Numb

Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now,I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

O.K.Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Cuando te conocí

Cuando te conocí
ya no salías con el primero
que te había abandonado
no vale la pena hablar
de aquellos años pasados
Cuando te conocí
ya no salías con aquel chico casado
que te prometía que la dejaría
y todavía no se había divorciado
Cuando te conocí
salías con un amigo de los pocos que tenías
eras lo mejor de su vida
pero fuiste lo mejor de la mía
Cuando te conocí
miré por un agujero en tus pantalones
y dos años después
ya tomabas todas las desiciones
Cuando te conocí
te reconocí por tus botas
y mientras tomabas tequila
dejamos atrás dos almas rotas
Cuando te conocí
me dijiste que por mí no ibas a cambiar
ibas a seguir siendo igual
ibas a seguir siendo igual
Y en el fondo es tan hondo mi dolor
porque me voy y no se puede cambiar
de corazón como de sombrero
sin haber sufrido primero
Y en el fondo es tan hondo mi dolor
porque me voy y no se puede cambiar
de corazón como de camisa
sin perder la sonrisa.
Andrés Calamaro
