The Tower of Montevideo
Damon Albarn, Michael Smith, Simon Tong
The Tower of Montevideo
Has many rooms
Some of them are empty
Since I left you (since I left you)
Standing in silhouette
By the long window
Drinking coffee
And scrutinized by the black cat
Who lies on the day bed and abandons the world
As the hours slide off the page
Like clouds somewhere else
In the Tower of Montevideo
Once there was cinema
And we had parties
And the light at the top of the tower could reach
Argentina (since I left you)
Where they talk behind doors of new worlds
And faraway places
And the portrait of the artist
Was kept down in the basement
In the Tower of Montevideo
The Tower of Montevideo
I can hear music
I can hear footsteps
Ghost of the empty room
Montevideo
In the Tower of Montevideo
The Tower of Montevideo
La Torre de Montevideo
Has many rooms

Some of them are empty
Algunas de ellas están vacías
Since I left you (since I left you)
Desde que te dejé (desde que te dejé)
Standing in silhouette
De pie en silueta
By the long window
Junto a la larga ventana
Drinking coffee
Tomando café
And scrutinized by the black cat
Y escrutado por el gato negro
Who lies on the day bed and abandons the world
Que se tumba en la cama de día y abandona el mundo
As the hours slide off the page
Mientras las horas se deslizan fuera de la página
Like clouds somewhere else
Como nubes en otro lugar
In the Tower of Montevideo
En la Torre de Montevideo
Once there was cinema
Una vez hubo cine
And we had parties
Y teníamos fiestas
And the light at the top of the tower could reach
Y la luz en la cima de la torre podía alcanzar
Argentina (since I left you)
Argentina (desde que te dejé)
Where they talk behind doors of new worlds
Donde hablan detrás de puertas de nuevos mundos
And faraway places
Y lugares lejanos
And the portrait of the artist
Y el retrato del artista
Was kept down in the basement
Se guardaba en el sótano

Drinking coffee
