Lyrics adapted from "Aplastamiento de las gotas" by Julio Cortázar

lyrics

Look at the fucking rain
How dense and grey outside
Droplets on window frame
Quivering against the sky
About to fall down but won’t fall, still won’t fall
It holds on tight, all nails, doesn’t want to fall

Now a majestic drop hanging there, and then - plonk!
There it goes, splat, undone
Only a clammy something
Little legs falling off
A thousand subdued glints
Fleetingness of their fall
And annihilation

I can even make out the dive’s vibration
Inebriating scream
Fleeting annihilation
A thousand subdued glints
Fleetingness of their fall
Inebriating scream
Fleeting annihilation
A thousand subdued glints

Goodbye, dead drops, goodbye
Sad, gloomy, despondent drops
Quivering against the sky
Plump and gullible drops
