one day I had to leave my country   calm beaches, palm trees   on that day I couldn't even cry   and I forgot that outside there would be other men      but today, but today, but today I don't know why   I feel a little more blue than then   I feel a little more blue than then   I feel a little more blue than then   I feel a little more blue than then      on the day Carmen Miranda died   they put a photograph in the magazine   her dead mouth with red lipstick smiled   and people cried, I was about ten      but today, but today, but today I don't know why   I feel a little more blue than then   I feel a little more blue than then   I feel a little more blue than then   I feel a little more blue than then      one morning they came to take me to jail   I smiled at them and said 'alright'   but alone on that same night   I cried and cried again      but today, but today, but today I don't know why   I feel a little more blue than then   I feel a little more blue than then   I feel a little more blue than then   I feel a little more blue than then      one night I saw a Mexican film   these twin brothers tried to kill each other   she opened her arms and got two bullets   and died sweetly without a sigh      but tonight, but tonight, but tonight I don't know why   I feel a little more blue than then   I feel a little more blue than then   I feel a little more blue than then   I feel a little more blue than then      one day I went down to the underground   but I missed the last train   and now that I'm just looking around   I feel a little more blue than then      look around, look around, look around I don't know why   I feel a little more blue than then   I feel a little more blue than then   I feel a little more blue than then   I feel a little more blue than then
