Lyrics
La conoc en una bailanta todo apretado
Nos tropezamos pero fui yo el que se puso colorado
Era distinta y diferente su meneada
Y un destello inteligente haba en su mirada…
Cuando le dije si quera bailar conmigo
Se puso a hablar de Jung, de Freud y Lacan
Mi idiosincracia le causaba mucha gracia
Me dijo al girar la cumbiera intelectual
Me dijo al girar… esa cumbiera intelectual…
(Jung, Freud, Simone de Beauvoir, Gothe, Beckett,
Cosmos, Gershwin, Kurt Weill, Guggenheim…)
Estudiaba una carrera poco conocida
Algo con ver con letra y filosofa
Era linda y hechizera su contoneada
Y sus ojos de lince me atravesaban
Cuando intent arrimarle mi brazo
Se puso a hablar de Miller, de Anais Nin y Picasso
Y si osaba intentar robarle un beso
Se pona a leer de Neruda unos versos
Me hizo mucho mal la cumbiera intelectual
No la puedo olvidar… a esa cumbiera intelectual
(Paul Klee, Ante Garmaz, Kandinsky, Diego, Fridha,
Tolstoi, Bolshoi, Terry Gilliam, Shakespeare William…)
Si le deca Vamos al cine, rica
Me deca Veamos una de Kusturica
Si le deca Vamos a oler las flores
Me hablaba de Virginia Wolf y sus amores
Me hizo mucho mal la cumbiera intelectual
No la puedo olvidar… a esa cumbiera intelectual…
Le ped que me ensee a usar el mouse
Pero solo quiere hablarme del Bauhaus
Le pregunt si era chorra o rockera
Me dijo Gertrude Stein era re-tortillera
No la puedo olvidar…
Yo no quiero que pienses tanto, cumbiera intelectual!
Yo voy a rezarle a tu santo para que te puedas soltar…
Para que seas ms normal
(Jarmusch, Cousteau, Cocteau, Arto, Maguy Marin,
Twyla Tharp, Gilda, Visconti, Gismonti…)
Aprend sobre un tal Hesse y de un Thomas Mann
Y todo sobre el existencialismo Alemn
Y ella me sigue dando ctedra todo el da Aunque por suerte de vez en cuando su cuerpo respira
Su cuerpo respira, su cuerpo respira
Yo no quiero que pienses tanto, cumbiera intelectual
Yo voy a rezarle a tu santo, para que seas ms normal
Para que te puedas soltar…
Cumbierita, cmo la quiero!!!
Lyrics translation
Meet her in a tight ballerina
We stumbled but I was the one who got colorado
It was different and different her wiggle
And a clever Bean flash in her gaze…
When I told her if she wanted to dance with me
He started talking about Jung, Freud and Lacan
My idiosyncrasy made him very funny
He told me when turning the intellectual cumbiera
He told me when he turned ... that intellectual cumbia…
(Jung, Freud, Simone de Beauvoir, Gothe, Beckett,
Cosmos, Gershwin, Kurt Weill, Guggenheim…)
I was studying a little-known career
Something to do with lyrics and philosophers
She was cute and bewitched her thundering
And his Lynx eyes pierced me
When I try to grab my arm
He started talking about Miller, Anais Nin and Picasso
And if I dared to try to steal a kiss from her
He begins to read some verses from Neruda
The intellectual cumbiera made me very ill
I can't forget ... that intellectual cumbiera
(Paul Klee, Ante Garmaz, Kandinsky, Diego, Fridha,
Tolstoy, Bolshoi, Terry Gilliam, Shakespeare William…)
If I tell you, we'll go to the movies, Richie.
Let's see one of Kusturica.
If he decays, we'll smell the flowers.
He was telling me about Virginia Wolf and her loves.
The intellectual cumbiera made me very ill
I can't forget ... that intellectual cumbiera…
I ask you to teach me how to use the mouse
But he just wants to talk to me about the Bauhaus.
I asked her if she was a rock or a rock.
He told me Gertrude Stein was re-wiggling
I can't forget her.…
I don't want you to think so much, intellectual cumbiera!
I'm going to pray to your saint so you can let go…
So you're more normal
(Jarmusch, Cousteau, Cocteau, Arto, Maguy Marin,
Twyla Tharp, Gilda, Visconti, Gismonti…)
Learn about a Hesse and a Thomas Mann
And all about German existentialism
And she keeps giving me ctedra all the time though luckily from time to time her body breathes
Your body breathes, your body breathes
I don't want you to think so much, intellectual cumbiera
I'm going to pray to your saint, that you be more normal
So you can let go…
Cumbierita, how I love her!!!
