Lesson experiences are often narrated in songs, especially in songs about romantic love turned sour as the result of cheating. This one, a beautifully sung reproach-song, is one of them. However, it isn't just about the offended cheat spouse or lover who got burned. It talks about a cheating wife or girlfriend who's on a rendevous with some mysterious lover but she's just walked into a major surprise. There's no violence but there is shock. The lyrics below narrate the story of this encounter.
Come on in and sit down quietly
Finally you're here
Now imagine that I am not me but
another man, the one you expected to see
A stranger who has written you a verse
and drew for you, on a piece of paper, the Moon
An improvised lover,. a mysterious passionate one
He set up for you an appointment at this hotel
Undress yourself now and turn off light
and make me love as you do with these lovers
I swear that today is the last time
that you make fun of me, that you deceive me
my hands wrote you the letter
and were my fingers that put up the trap
My heart cries on the inside out of sorrow, and out in pity
but I leave you and I go forever... forever
It was my hands that wrote you the letter
It was my fingers that put up the trap
Come in, sit quietly
Finally you're here and you you can't imagine
that I am not another man that you expect to see
A stranger to you to written a verse
and draw for you the moon on a piece of paper
an improvised lover improvised, a mysterious passionate one
I set up the appointment in this hotel
Now undress,turn off the light instantly
and make me love as you do with these lovers
I swear that today is the last time
that you make fun of me, that you deceive me
It was my hands that wrote you the letter
and it was my fingers that set you the trap
and it's now my heart which cries out of pity and sorrow
on the inside; but I leave you and I go forever... forever
My hands that you wrote you the letter
And my fingers that set up the trap...
