Me gustas cuando callas porque estas como ausente
Me gustas cuando callas porque estas como ausente
Y me oyes desde lejos y mi voz no te toca
Parece que los ojos se te hubieran volado
Y parece qu e un beso te cerrara la boca
Parece qu e un beso te cerrara la boca

Como todas las cosas estan llenas de mi alma
Como todas las cosas estan llenas de mi alma
Emerges de las cosas llena del alma mia
Mariposa de sueno, te pareces a mi alma
Y te pareces a la palabra melancolia
Y te pareces a la palabra melancolia

Me gustas cuando callas y estas como distante
Me gustas cuando callas y estas como distante

Y estas como quejandote mariposa en arrullo
Y me oyes desde lejos y mi voz no te alcanza
Dejame que me calle en el silencio tuyo
Dejame que te hable tambien con tu silencio
Claro como una lampara, simple como un anillo
Eres como la noche, callada y constelada
Tu silencio es de estrella tan lejano y sencillo
Tu silencio es de estrella tan lejano y sencillo

Me gustas cuando callas porque estas como ausente
Me gustas cuando callas porque estas como ausente
Distante y dolorosa como si hubieras muerto
Una palabra entonces, una sonrisa bastan
Y estoy alegre, alegre de que no sea cierto
Y estoy alegre, alegre de que no sea cierto
Y estoy alegre, alegre de que no sea cierto

Oh man... brazilian girls singing in spanish actually hurts. Some info about Brazil


Were they Brazilian girls, would they more likely be singing in Portuguese?

Poem 15 of the Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair poetry collection by the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda.

Have seen the a couple of times, and they're a blast!  You may be severely fun-resistant if you can keep still and not grin 'n spin at their shows.

If Mozart could hear this, his head would explode. In a good way.

they are NOT Brazilian. Or girls ,for that matter (ok, one of them is, apparently. Girl, I mean). It's just a name. They're a bunch of guys from NYC.
 

Don't get me started on Boards of Canada; no boards no Canadians in the band at all.

This is one of my favorite albums, in part because it's so eclectic. Their songs are in multiple languages, including French and German. Such fun!

Me gustaría que se callaran. Y, por cierto, ¿qué crees que significa 'marginale'?

Saw these 'girls' perform a few weeks ago....man are they out there! The lead singer was dressed in the weirdest thing I've ever seen. That said, it was a really fun show and she's a talented performer! (I've heard that she speaks/sings in five languages!)

From what I can tell from translations (I should just learn the language), this is really quite a romatic poem. He's kind of saying, I like to imagine that you're not here because I like to look up and discover that you are really here.

way more points for neruda, but the song's pretty fun.

I like the nipple on the album cover. Other than that, this stinks.

(sarcasm) I'm glad you're broadening my horizons. (/sarcasm) I give this song a 2. And I'd like to see ya try and dance to it.

This is "Poema 15" from "Veinte Poemas de Amor y Una Cancion Desesperada". Although I like this poem, I don't like that much this song.

Here's the original poem:
Me gustas cuando callas porque estás como ausente, y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te toca. Parece que los ojos se te hubieran volado y parece que un beso te cerrara la boca. Como todas las cosas están llenas de mi alma emerges de las cosas, llena del alma mía. Mariposa de sueño, te pareces a mi alma, y te pareces a la palabra melancolía. Me gustas cuando callas y estás como distante. Y estás como quejándote, mariposa en arrullo. Y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te alcanza: déjame que me calle con el silencio tuyo. Déjame que te hable también con tu silencio claro como una lámpara, simple como un anillo. Eres como la noche, callada y constelada. Tu silencio es de estrella, tan lejano y sencillo. Me gustas cuando callas porque estás como ausente. Distante y dolorosa como si hubieras muerto. Una palabra entonces, una sonrisa bastan. Y estoy alegre, alegre de que no sea cierto.

Man, if only the rest of this CD were as good as Homme. Sadly, the rest is, in fact, quite bad.
I love this cd. I dont feel that this is the best song on it, but, as a whole, its a good listen. Great for bopping around the house!

Was it my imagination or when this song was played a while ago was it credited as Harry Manx? Anyone else notice?

Not my favorite from this album, though I have to give them credit -- songs in German, English, French and Portuguese. The whole album tends to have a trip-hoppy/bossa feel, which I kind of like.

You have to wonder how the idea for their album/cd cover was pitched to the band....
