This tune that haunts me day and night This tune isn’t born of today It comes from as far back as I do Dragged by a hundred thousand musicians One day this tune will drive me mad. A hundred times I’ve wanted to say why But it interrupted me, It doesn’t let me speak, and its voice overwhelms mine. Padam ... Padam ... Padam ... It follows, running behind me Padam ... Padam ... Padam ... It tricks me into remembering you Padam ... Padam ... Padam ... It’s a tune, which like an accusing finger, Haunts me like a weird mistake, This tune that knows all by heart. It says: Remember your loves, Remember since it’s your turn, There’s no reason for you not to cry With your memories held close... And me, I look back at those that remain, My twenty years of tapping that beat, I see between the beats the whole comedy of those loves, Accompanied by this tune that always goes … Padam ... Padam ... Padam ... An “I love you’s” on the fourteenth of July Padam ... Padam ... Padam ... The “forevers” bought at discount Padam ... Padam ... Padam ... The “Do you want to’s” here by the bundle And all this to bump into the tune, That remembers me at the streetcorner. Listen to the uproar that it causes in me As if all my past were on parade. One must save some sorrow for later. I have a solfege* for this tune that beats ... Beats like my wooden heart.. * A voice exercise, singing scales or runs using the same syllable. https://youtube/watch?v=LfmguyDRBwU
