One day I had to leave my country, calm beach and palm tree
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

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

One morning they came to take me to jail
I smiled at them and said all right
But alone in 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

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

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
