When I tried to read Gárcia Márquez I found my Spanish to be (severely) lacking, so I'm afraid I can't add any more detail than that. But it's a great song, and perhaps someone else can elaborate on the lirerary connection.
"I'm like a rock / Words don't touch me" and "Baby, don't comb your hair in bed / The travelers are going to be late” ? ? ? ?
