Jugando a Ser Mayor

Playing at Being Grown-Up

Jugando a Ser Mayor

Once again, the same story repeatsOtra vez, se repite la misma historia
It's the never-ending taleEs el cuento de nunca acabar
Generation after generationGeneración tras generación
The day before yesterday it was you, yesterday it was meAntes de ayer fuiste tú, ayer fui yo
Today childhood strikes againHoy la infancia vuelve a atacar
Lurking at the heart and the walletAcechando al corazón y a la cartera
If only it were clearSi clara fuera estación
Spring greedily pinkPrimavera avariciosamente rosa
High chin of a new kind of goddessBarbilla alta de una nueva especie de diosa
Inquisitive dwarfEnana inquisidora
Who makes the lives of others her ownQue hace suya la vida de los demás
We watch, allow, long for, worshipQue observamos, permitimos, añoramos, adoramos
Every step she takesCada paso que da

Snow-white girlNiña clara de nieve
There's so much left to learnQueda tanto por saber
But your eyes betray the nervous soul of a womanPero tus ojos delatan el alma nerviosa de una mujer
Marcos keeps landscapesMarcos guarda paisajes
That he gives to adults without warmthQue regala a adultos sin calor
In your hand has bloomed the flower we lost along the wayEn tu mano ha brotado la flor que en el camino perdimos
Playing at being grown-upJugando a ser mayor

Marcos possessesMarcos posee
The smile as a divine giftLa sonrisa como don divino
Playing dances, soccer, and clumsinessJugando danzas, fútbol y torpezas
As he played Merlin with his powersComo con sus poderes jugaba merlín
While his older sisterMientras su hermana mayor
Clears the stones from his pathRetira las piedras de su camino
Out of natural vocationPor vocación natural
So he can show us the worldPara que él nos muestre el mundo
Like a coral seaComo un mar de coral

Snow-white girlNiña clara de nieve
There's so much left to learnQueda tanto por saber
But your eyes betray the nervous soul of a womanPero tus ojos delatan el alma nerviosa de una mujer
Marcos keeps landscapesMarcos guarda paisajes
That he gives to adults without warmthQue regala a adultos sin calor
In your hand has bloomed the flower we lost along the wayEn tu mano ha brotado la flor que en el camino perdimos
Playing at being grown-upJugando a ser mayor

If ever your madness becomes misunderstoodSi alguna vez vuestra locura se hace incomprendida
Think that the crazy one who understands youPensad que el loca que os comprenda
Could be mePuedo ser yo

Snow-white girlNiña clara de nieve
There's so much left to learnQueda tanto por saber
But your eyes betray the nervous soul of a womanPero tus ojos delatan el alma nerviosa de una mujer
Marcos keeps landscapesMarcos guarda paisajes
That he gives to adults without warmthQue regala a adultos sin calor
In your hand has bloomed the flower we lost along the wayEn tu mano ha brotado la flor que en el camino perdimos
