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
I feel a little more blue than then
I feel a little more blue than then
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…
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 around to take 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…
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

Looking around, looking around, looking 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
