Meet James Ensor

Meet James Ensor
Belgium's famous painter
Dig him up and shake his hand
Appreciate the man

Before there were junk stores
Before there was junk
He lived with his mother and the torments of Christ
The world was transformed
A crowd gathered round
Pressed against his window so they could be the first

To meet James Ensor
Belgium's famous painter
Raise a glass and sit and stare
Understand the man

He lost all his friends
He didn't need his friends
He lived with his mother and repeated himself
The world has forgotten
The world moved along
The crowd at his window went back to their homes

El famoso pintor de Bélgica
Desentiérralo y estrecha su mano

Antes de que existieran las tiendas de objetos usados
Antes de que hubiera basura
Vivía con su madre y los tormentos de Cristo
El mundo se transformó
Una multitud se reunió
Presionando contra su ventana para ser los primeros

A conocer a James Ensor
El famoso pintor de Bélgica
Levanta un vaso y siéntate a mirar
Comprende al hombre

Perdió a todos sus amigos
No necesitaba a sus amigos
Vivía con su madre y se repetía a sí mismo
El mundo lo ha olvidado
El mundo siguió adelante
La multitud en su ventana regresó a sus hogares
