Carla Bruni's song lyrics have upset the Colombian government

Friday June 13,2008

Colombia's foreign minister has said a new song by the wife of the French president is "very painful for Colombia".

The song reportedly appears on the third album of model Carla Bruni, which appears in stores on July 21.

The French daily Le Figaro reports that the song includes the lyrics: "You are my drug / More deadly than Afghan heroin / More dangerous than white Colombian."

Foreign minister Fernando Araujo said on Thursday that "coming from the mouth of the wife of the President of France, this type of statement is very painful for Colombia".

It is not clear if the song refers to President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Colombia produces more than 80% of the world's cocaine.
