Con Tanto Héroe

With So Many Heroes

Con Tanto Héroe

He always believedEl siempre creyó
That a hard drive was a Metallica recordQue un disco duro era un disco de metálica
That the umbrella's ribs were magicalQue las barillas del paraguas eran mágicas
And the moans of real whores.Y los gemidos de las putas de verdad.

He never resignedNunca se resignó
To the Three Wise Men being councilorsA que los Reyes Magos fueran concejales
He always drew his name on the windowsDibujaba siempre su nombre en los cristales
That faced the courtyard of Neverland.Que daban al patio de luces de Nunca Jamás.

He didn't want to grow upNo quiso crecer
And Peter's Bread hardens day by dayY el Pan de Peter se endurece día a día
His alley forgets a case at the exitSu callejón se olvida un caso a la salida
And he dances tango with wolves, sad Gardel's tangos.Y baila con lobos tangos tristes de Gardel.

And at dawnY al amanecer
His spring was violated on a cornerSu primavera fué violada en una esquina
With so many heroes in ties and trench coatsCon tanto héroe de corbata y gabardina
The cat got the waterEl gato al agua se llevó
As always the heroine.Como siempre la heroína.

And he always believedY el siempre creyó
That by closing his eyes nobody saw himQue con cerrar los ojos nadie lo veía
He wanted to go around the world in eighty daysQuiso dar la vuelta al mundo en ochenta días
And didn't leave a park in Moratalá.Y no salió de un parque de Moratalá.

He liked to thinkLe gustaba pensar
That he would build a thousand castles in the airQue contruiría mil castillos en el aire
In case hell was no longer buildablePor si el infierno ya no fuera edificable
When a bad peak would join him with Satan.Cuando un mal pico lo juntara con Satán.

He didn't want to grow upNo quiso crecer
And Peter's Bread hardens day by dayY el Pan de Peter se endurece día a día
His alley forgets a case at the exitSu callejón se olvida un caso a la salida
And he dances tango with wolves, sad Gardel's tangos.Y baila con lobos tangos tristes de Gardel.

And at dawnY al amanecer
His spring was violated on a cornerSu primavera fué violada en una esquina
With so many heroes in ties and trench coatsCon tanto héroe de corbata y gabardina
The cat got the waterEl gato al agua se llevó
As always the heroine.Como siempre la heroína.
