Merry blues
Manu Chao [www.musikaki.blog.br] Lyrics

So many nights with your shadow in my bed.
I've spent countless nights with your memory haunting me.

So many nights, baby you whisper in my head.
Your voice echoes in my mind, tormenting me night after night.

So many nights, sing along the Merry Blues.
I try to lose myself in music to forget my pain.

So many nights, I told you once. I told you twice.
I tried to warn you of the consequence of your actions, but you didn't listen.

The Merry blues, the Merry blues.
The music that tries to ease the pain inside me but fails.

I can not sleep, haunted by your pretty body.
The memories of you keep me awake at night, unable to find peace.

I can not sleep, I want the world set on fire.
I wish I could burn this world down rather than live with the pain of losing you.

So many nights, can't keep from going down loose.
I've hit rock bottom and can't find a way back up.

Hello Nadina, do you do do do do do?
Addressing someone who might not even remember me.

I feel so happy when I see see see see you.
But the mere sight of you is enough to lift my spirits temporarily.

You make me sing a like a douba doubadé.
You bring out happiness in me, even if it's just momentary.

I know you like it like a zoumbou zoumboué.
But it doesn't matter because I know you don't want me around anymore.

I feel the moody like to picky picky you.
My emotions fluctuate erratically around you, sometimes still wanting you, sometimes wanting to hurt you.

I know you like it like a rub a dub style.
I know you enjoy the attention I give you, even if it's not the kind you want.

I know you like a marijuana smokey.
I know you indulge in drugs to forget your own pain, but I can't do the same.
