Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Puedo estar borracho pero no me he perdido

I may be drunk but I'm not lost

Lo que pasa es que me gusta pasear

It's just that I like to wander around

Pasito a pasito, buscando el equilibrio

Little by little, looking for balance

Y dejándome llevar

And letting myself go

Sólo estoy jugando a que me invento un camino

I'm just playing at inventing a path for myself

Primero a saltitos, luego en espiral

First skipping, then in a spiral

No me mire así, me está clavando un cuchillo

Don't look at me like that, you're stabbing me with a knife

¿O es que no sabe jugar?

Or don't you know how to play?

Yo seguiré mirando al cielo

I will keep looking at the sky

Tú nunca quisiste volar

You never wanted to fly

Y sólo buscas alimento

And you only look for food

Como un animal

Like an animal

Yo seguiré mirando al cielo

I will keep looking at the sky

Tú nunca quisiste volar

You never wanted to fly

Y sólo buscas alimento

And you only look for food

Como un animal

Like an animal

...

...

Puedo ser pequeño pero tengo un castillo

I may be small but I have a castle

Si te lo imaginas ya puedes entrar

If you imagine it, you can come in

A cantar de noche me enseñaron los grillos

The crickets taught me to sing at night

Y sé alguna cosa más

And I know a few other things

Puedo ser pequeño pero tengo un castillo

I may be small but I have a castle

Si te lo imaginas ya puedes entrar

If you imagine it, you can come in

A cantar de noche me enseñaron los grillos

The crickets taught me to sing at night

Y sé alguna cosa más

And I know a few other things

Yo seguiré mirando al cielo

I will keep looking at the sky

Tú nunca quisiste volar

You never wanted to fly

Y sólo buscas alimento

And you only look for food

Como un animal

Like an animal

Yo seguiré mirando al cielo

I will keep looking at the sky

Tú nunca quisiste volar

You never wanted to fly

Y sólo buscas alimento

And you only look for food

Como un animal

Like an animal

Como un animal

Like an animal

Como un animal

Like an animal

...
