DILE QUE LA QUIERES


The song says:
Dile que la quieres!
But she has a surgical mask on
And a conspicuous daughter
That follows her around

The song screams:
Dile que la quieres!
But when I asked for
A second opinion
It sounded like a pharmacy

Dile que las quieres!
And I venture to think
It is not medicine
That changes her face
But the music of the world

The speakers cry:
Dile que la quieres!
And I placed
A copy of Don Quixote
Back on the shelf

Dile que la quieres!
And I hurry out of
That section
Looking for vegetables

Dile que la quieres!
And I find the masked woman
Beside me picking produce
Her pupils like
Sharpened seeds

Dile que la quieres!
And I think about that phrase
About those words
I think about a mask
Kissing another mask

Dile que la quieres!
The difficulty
Is to discern
And order of Man
From a command
Of the heart
