Historia de Un Cantante Vacio

Story of an Empty Singer

Historia de Un Cantante Vacio

Since he was a child he dreamed of being famous and successfulÉl desde niño soñó con ser famoso y triunfador
And travel the whole world with his songY viajar al mundo entero con su canción
He always saw in his mind, the crowd aroundÉl en su mente siempre vió, la multitud alrededor
For fame instead he always foughtPor la fama en su lugar siempre luchó

He wanted to hit and win a millionÉl quería pegar y ganar un millón
And have respect and positionY tener respeto y posición
And I achieved itY lo logro

Yesterday he was in ParisAyer estuvo en París
He sang more than eighty thousand beforeCantó antes mas de ochenta mil
He says he is doing very well and is living his dream todayÉl dice que le va muy bien que vive hoy su sueño

Now you can chatAhora puede conversar
He even goes to dinner sometimesIncluso a veces va a cenar
With the stars of whom I was once just another fanCon las estrellas de las que antes solo era un fan más

I know I'm not the same as yesterday and I'm what I always dreamed ofSé que no soy el de ayer y soy lo que siempre soñé
Uuh! How I enjoy fameuuh! Como disfruto la fama
Women, fortune and people acclaim meMujeres, fortuna y la gente me aclama

His latest album has already sold outSu último disco ya vendió
More than he imaginedMás de lo que él imaginó
And backwards messages includedY mensajes al revés le incluyó

And as fashion is timeY como la moda al tiempo es
Marry twice or three timesCasarse dos veces o tres
So he's broken a couple of heartsAsí que él ha roto un par de corazones

His nose job made world newsFue noticia mundial su nariz operar
But no one knows how he cries in lonelinessPero nadie sabe como él llora en la soledad

He no longer has privacyÉl ya no tiene privacidad
He longs to be someone normalAnhela ser alguien normal
Sometimes he wishes he was just a fan againA veces él desea ser de nuevo un simple fan

Walk with the stars thatAnda con las estrellas que
Before in magazines you could seeAntes en revistas pudo ver
He knows that they are only human as much as he isSabe que solo son humanos tanto como él

I looked on the street, he was dressed in fashionBusque en la calle, vestía a la moda
Pretty girls and stuffLas chicas lindas y esas cosas
(They couldn't fill it)(No pudieron llenar)
Although dancing and enjoying dress me, I am still sadAunque bailar y gozar me visten aún sigo triste
(Even if he smiles while singing)(Aunque sonría al cantar)
Stardom will make me happy, that's what I thought, isn't it?El estrellato me hará feliz eso pensé no es así
(There is a lake further inside)(Hay lago dentro mas allá)
Even though people surround me, I feel aloneAunque la gente me rodeé me siento sólo
How to fill me out, what is the way?Como llenarme cual es el modo

At a slow pace I feel like I'm dyingA paso lento siento que muero
Inside and the suffering kills mePor dentro y me mata el sufrimiento
Fame, wool is what I longed for and I realize that it is nothingFama, lana es lo que anhelaba y concibo que no es nada
I know that fortune has only made me recognizeSe que la fortuna solo me ha hecho reconocer
That there is something more valuable than money and pleasureQue hay algo mas valioso que el dinero y el placer
How to know that there is a being that can changeComo saber que hay un ser que puede cambiar
The doubt I carry in my conductLa duda que llevo en mi proceder
(Well) I prefer to be the way I was before(Well) prefiero ser como era antes
(Well) leaving the life of a singer(Well) dejar la vida de cantante
(Well) being able to have intimacy(Well) poder tener intimidad
Well, the neighborhood and my people are my happinessPues el barrio y mi gente son mi felicidad

Yesterday he was in ParisAyer estuvo en Paris
(But in the end the emptiness returned)(Pero al final el vacio volvi a sentir)
He says he's doing very wellEl dice que le va muy bien
(What I appear to be is not always what you see)(Lo que aparento no siempre es lo que ves)
Now you can chatAhora puede conversar
(I see that the emptiness is the same when speaking)(Veo que el vacio es el mismo al hablar)
With the stars of whom I was previously just a fanCon las estrellas de las que antes solo era un fan mas

What good is it to man?De que le vale al hombre
Gain all the goods of the worldGanar todos los bienes del mundo
And finally lose his soulY al fin perder su alma
Tell me, what's the point?Dime, de que te vale
It's of no use to youDe nada te vale you
It is the law of beingEs ley de ser
Isabelle, that's rightIsabelle that's right
