And it's the common storyY es la historia común
Of an old crazy manDe un viejo loco
Who almost neverQue casi nunca
Knew where he was going,Sabía por donde andaba,
He would get up at nightSe levantaba por las noches
And go to bed in the morningsY se acostaba por las mañanas
He dedicated himself to picking flowersSe dedicaba a coger flores
And playing with the shrews.Y a jugar con las musarañas.

And wandering aroundY vagando por ahi
He never stopped singing,No paraba de cantar,
With a flower behind his earCon una flor detrás de la oreja
He repeated incessantly...Repetía sin cesar...
But look at how he isPero que mira como es
With his patched shirtCon la camisa remendá
But look at how he isPero que mira como es
His pants half worn out,Los pantalones medio "caios",
But look at how he isPero que mira como es
And he never stopped dancingY no paraba de bailar
But look at how he isPero que mira como es
With his bottle full of wine.Con su botella llena de vino.

And that crazy old manY ese viejo loco
With his lit cigaretteCon su cigarro encendío
Spent the hours alone,Pasaba las horas solo,
And stayed out of trouble,Y no se metía en líos,
Another sip from his bottleOtro buchito a su botella
To forget who he has beenPara olvidar quién ha sido
The loves of the pastLos amores del pasado
And all that he has suffered.Y todo lo que ha sufrido.

And wandering aroundY vagando por ahi
He never stopped singing,No paraba de cantar,
With a flower behind his earCon una flor detrás de la oreja
He repeated incessantly...Repetía sin cesar...
But look at how he isPero que mira como es
With his patched shirtCon la camisa remendá
But look at how he isPero que mira como es
His pants half worn out,Los pantalones medio "caios",
But look at how he isPero que mira como es
And he never stopped dancingY no paraba de bailar
But look at how he isPero que mira como es
With his bottle full of wine.Con su botella llena de vino.

But look at how he isPero que mira como es
And his treasure is freedomY su tesoro es la libertad
But look at how he isPero que mira como es
What does it matter if it's hot or coldQue importa si hace calor o frío
But look at how he isPero que mira como es
Like a child wanting to playComo un chiquillo quiere jugar
But look at how he isPero que mira como es
In the hiding place of his emptinessAl escondite de su vacío

But look...Pero que mira...
