El Poeta

The Poet

El Poeta

Once upon a time,Hubo una vez,
long ago,hace mucho tiempo ya,
there was a young man like you,un joven como tú,
as restless as me.tan inquieto como yo.

He always wanted,Él siempre quiso,
to surprise everyone,a todos sorprender,
with his strange powercon su extraño poder
to describe reality.de describir la realidad.

He had a band,Tuvo una banda,
That quickly succeeded,Que logró pronto triunfar,
impacting everyonea todos impactó
with their way of acting.por su manera de actuar.

And so he becameY así se convirtió
a Rock & Roll staren una estrella de Rock & Roll
...or simply…o simplemente
a cardboard photo...en una foto de cartón…

The poet disappeared.EI poeta desapareció.
Many say he died,muchos dicen que murió,
still nothing has been proven.aún nada, se ha podido comprobar.
I just know he's listeningyo sólo sé que está escuchando
to my song...mi canción…

Soon his imagePronto su imagen.
traveled the world,todo el mundo recorrió,
and he began to feely se empezó a sentir
just a signature on paper.solo una firma de papel.

And with the sadnessY con la tristeza
of not being in control,de no ser dueño de sí,
he sought the warmthbusco el calor,
of his great friend,de su gran amigo,
...the end.… el fin.

He no longer wanted,Él ya no quería,
not even to sing,Ni siquiera cantar,
he was tiredestaba cansado
of being a commercial object.de ser objeto comercial.

And when no oneY cuando ya nadie
could understand him,lo podía comprender,
he left with his friend,partió con su amiga,
...and he was never heard from again.…Y jamás se supo de él

The poet disappeared.EI poeta desapareció.
Many say he died,muchos dicen que murió,
still nothing has been proven.aún nada, se ha podido comprobar.
I just know he's listeningyo sólo sé que está escuchando
to my song...mi canción…

I just know he's listeningYo solo sé, que está escuchando
to my song...mi canción…
