De Carton Piedra

Cardboard Stone

De Carton Piedra

It was glory dressed in tulleEra la gloria vestida de tul
With a distant and blue gazeCon la mirada lejana y azul
Who smiled in a shop windowQue sonreía en un escaparate
With the small and garnet mouthCon la boquita menuda y granate

And some fake patent leather shoesY unos zapatos de falso charol
That sparkled in the touch of the SunQue chispeaban al roce del Sol
Clean and pretty, she was always in fashionLimpia y bonita, siempre iba a la moda
Dressed up like going to a weddingArregladita como pa' ir de boda
And I went to see her all the timeY yo a todas horas la iba a ver
Because I loved that womanPorque yo amaba a esa mujer
Papier macheDe cartón piedra
From Boxing Day to ChristmasQue de san esteban a navidades
Between sales and newsEntre saldos y novedades
It made my sidewalk more tenderHacía más tierna mi acera
AhAh

It wasn't like those April dollsNo era como esas muñecas de abril
They scratched me from the front and from the sideQue me arañaron de frente y perfil
They sent my innocence to hell!!Que me mandaron la inocencia al carajo!!
They ripped my hopes out of my chestQue me arrancaron la ilusión de cuajo
No, she was waiting in her display caseNo ella esperaba en su vitrina
See me turn that cornerVerme doblar aquella esquina
Like a brideComo una novia
Like a medieval maidenComo una doncella medieval
Asking me to free myselfPidiendome liberame
Let's run away to write historyHuyamos a escribir la historia

I broke the window with a stoneDe una pedrada me bajé el cristal
And I ran with her to my doorY corrí corrí con ella hasta mi portal
Her whole body trembled in my armsTodo su cuerpo me tembló en los brazos
The May Moon smiled upon usNos sonreía la Luna de mayo
In the rain we danced a waltzBajo la lluvia bailamos un vals
One, two, three, one, two, three, it doesn't matterUn, dos, tres, un, dos, tres, todo da igual
And I was talking to him about our futureY yo le hablaba de nuestro futuro
And she cried in silence I swear!Y ella lloraba en silencios lo juro!
And between four walls and a roofY entre cuatro paredes y un techo
It burst against his chestSe reventó contra su pecho
Pain after painPena tras pena
I had the universe in my handsTuve entre mis manos el universo
And we made a verse from the pastE hicimos de pasado un verso
Lost inside a poemPerdido dentro de un poema

And then they came and pushed me out of my houseY entonces, llegaron ellos, me sacaron a empujones de mi casa
And they locked me up between these four white wallsY me encerraron entre estas cuatro paredes blancas
Where some friends come to see meDonde vienen a verme, alguuuunos amigos
From month to monthDe mes a mes
Two by twoDe dos en dos
And from three to sixY de tres a seis
Because to the crazy onesPorque a los locos
They must be kept well locked upHay que tenerlos bien encerrados
Because they are a danger to societyPorque son un peligro para la sociedad
And for the mental statusY para el status que mental

Because the crazy onesPorque los locos
Because the crazy onesPorque los locos
We can still build images in the skyTodavía podemos construir imagenes en el cielo
We can still be moved by the light of a smileTodavía podemos emocionarnos con la luz de una sonrisa
We can still make cheesy songs and say I love youTodavía podemos hacer canciones cursis y decir te quiero
Because there are many crazy people who still believe in utopiaPorque hay muchos locos que aún creen en la utopia
And they go out to the marches and demonstrations against dictatorshipsY salen a las marchas y a las manifestaciones contra dictaduras
And oppressorsY opresores
That's why I like being among so many fucking crazy people withPor eso me gusta estar entre tanto loco de mierda con.........e
Damn!Carajo!
I like being with crazy people because they really get to meMe gusta estar con locos porque en realidad me llegan
