Toca Para Mi

Play for Me

Toca Para Mi

Like every afternoon isComo cada tarde esta
In the park to playEn el parque para tocar
His old and tired instrumentSu viejo y cansado instrumento

On the same bench sittingEn el mismo banco sentado
A blanket on the ground beside himUna manta en el suelo a su lado
Ready to show the good sideDispuesto a dar el lado bueno
And even though he's decliningY aunque ya se venga a menos
He gifts me a ballad just for a glanceMe regala una balada solo por una mirada

From his years of experienceDe sus años de experiencia
He tells me a thousand anecdotesMil anécdotas me cuenta
I pretend to believe it soYo finjo creerlo así
I like to see him happyMe gusta verle feliz
Telling adventures and believing to be a violinContando aventuras y creyendo ser un violín

Play for me, I want to hear youToca para mi, yo te quiero oír
I want to be part of your madnessQuiero formar parte de tu locura
We will put our souls as sheet musicPondremos nuestras almas de partitura
Play for me, I want to hear youToca para mi, yo te quiero oír
And let the last beat of your heartY que el último latido de tu corazón
Be a rose sprouting from the last noteSea una rosa que brota de la última nota

There are people who laugh at him, with his green bow tieHay gente que ríe al verle, con su pajarita verde
His already worn-out pantsSus pantalones ya roídos
And some flowers he pickedY unas flores que ha cogido
Adorning a shirtAdornando una camisa
That he sewed in a hurryQue ha cosido muy deprisa

The crazy maestro playsEl loco maestro toca
With a crazy sweetnessCon una dulzura loca
And a dove lands on his rubber shoesY se posa una paloma, en sus zapatos de goma
No one laughs, no one speaks, those who mocked youNadie ríe, nadie habla, los que de ti se burlaban
He leans back and talks about how tough the board isSe va recostando y habla de lo dura que es la tabla
I have stopped pretending, I don't want to see him sufferYa he dejado de fingir, no quiero verle sufrir
Telling adventures and believing to be a violinContando aventuras y creyendo ser un violín

Play for me, I want to hear youToca para mi, yo te quiero oír
I want to be part of your madnessQuiero formar parte de tu locura
We will put our souls as sheet musicPondremos nuestras almas de partitura
Play for me, I want to hear youToca para mi, yo te quiero oír
And let the last beat of your heartY que el ultimo latido de tu corazón
Be a rose sprouting from the last noteSea una rosa que brota de la ultima nota

Play for me, play for me, I want to hear youToca para mi, toca para mi, yo te quiero oír
I want to be part of your madnessQuiero formar parte de tu locura
We will put our souls as sheet musicPondremos nuestras almas de partitura
Play for meToca para mi
