El Príncipe De La Ciudad

The Prince of the City

El Príncipe De La Ciudad

In his glass tower,En su torre de cristal,
above the national banksobre el banco nacional
lives the prince of the city.vive el príncipe de la ciudad.
Admired by many,Admirado por demás,
envy is the norm.envidiado es lo normal.
With success in his hands,Con el éxito en sus manos,
who could ask for more.quien podría pedir mas.

He's a good negotiator,Es un buen negociador,
and a charming playboy,y un encantador play-boy,
favorite of social logic.predilecto de la lógica social.
Four yachts, three Van Gogh,Cuatro yates, tres Van Gogh,
and in the parking lot: two Rolls Royce,y en el parking: dos Rolls Royce,
and in his heart a void,y en su corazón un hueco,
that he can't seem to close.que no acaba de cerrar.

And in his eyes that drive the ladies crazy,Y en sus ojos que enloquecen a las damas,
and that he now always hides behind his glasses,y que ahora siempre oculta tras la gafas,
nostalgia colors his pupils,la nostalgia colorea sus pupilas,
and paints a watercolory le pinta una acuarela
of moments with her.de momentos junto a ella.

Oh, love, you stole my heart.Ay, amor, tu me robaste el corazón.
And even though I have everything,Y aunque todo ya lo tengo,
I'm a poor beggar,soy un pobre limosnero,
because I don't have your love.porque no tengo tu amor.

Oh, love, you've taken my reason.Ay, amor, tu te has llevado mi razón.
And even though no one understands,Y aunque nadie lo comprenda,
now nothing interests meahora nada me interesa
because I don't have your love.porque no tengo tu amor.

In the glass prison,En la cárcel de cristal,
above the National Bank,sobre el Banco Nacional,
the prince of the city dies.muere el príncipe de la ciudad.
No one can understand,Nadie puede comprender,
he doesn't care anymore,no le importa nada ya,
and those who knew himy los que lo conocieron
no longer know what to think.ya no saben que pensar.

Confined up there in his abode,Enclaustrado allá arriba en su morada,
you can always see him in front of the window.puedes verlo siempre frente a la ventana.
And he shoots X-rays at the streets,Y le hace rayos equis a las calles,
and looks for her among the people,y la busca entre la gente,
and waits, in case she returns.y la espera, por si vuelve.

Oh love, you stole my heart.Ay amor, tu me has robado el corazón.
And even though I have everything,Y aunque todo ya lo tengo,
I'm a poor beggar,soy un pobre limosnero,
because I don't have your love.porque no tengo tu amor.

Oh love, you've taken my reason.Ay amor tu te has llevado mi razón.
And even though no one understands,Y aunque nadie lo comprenda,
now nothing interests meahora nada me interesa
because I lack your love.porque me falta tu amor.

chorus: Oh love, you stole my heart....coro: Ay amor tu me has robado el corazón....
This love that condemns me so much, I carry it so deeply in my veinsEste amor que tanto me condena yo lo llevo tan metido entre mis venas
And even though I have everything, I'm a poor beggar but of loveY aunque todo ya lo tengo soy un pobre limosnero pero de amor
Nostalgia always accompanies me because my heart still misses youLa nostalgia todo el tiempo me acompaña pues mi corazon todavía te extraña
And how I miss you, loveY como te extraño amor
And even though no one understands, now nothing interests me more than your loveY aunque nadie lo comprenda ahora nada me interesa mas que tu amor
