Ir Al Baile

Go To The Dance

Ir Al Baile

When I was 12, carrying the flag on my shoulderCuando a los 12 lleve la bandera en el hombro
I realized that nothing weighed me downMe di cuenta que nada pesaba
Ugh! If anyone was to blame, it was the 4th grade teacherUy! si la culpa la tuvo la maestra de 4to
When she made me swear to nothingCuando me hizo jurarle a la nada

I just wanted to go to the danceYo solo queria, ir al baile

When the eagle saw me daydreaming about nothing,Cuando el aguila me vio avispando a la nada,
It realized I didn't careSe dio cuenta que no me importaba
Ugh! The song playing, the teacher talking,Uy! La cancion que sonaba, la maestra que hablaba,
The breaks where I had funLos recreos que me divertia

I just wanted to go to the danceYo solo queria, ir al baile

As time passed, the guitar spoke to me,Cuando el tiempo paso, la guitarra me hablaba,
The slide that led to bedEl tobogan que llegaba a la cama
Ugh! The piñatas bursting, the rings changing,Uy! Las piñatas reventaban, las sortijas cambiaban,
The airplanes that were already visibleLos aviones que ya se veian

I had wings, uhhhTenia las alas, uhhh
I damn well mother, uhhme cago en la madre, uhh

I just wanted to go to the dance...Yo solo queria ir al baile...
