Lyrics

«Quiso volar igual que las gaviotas
Libre en el aire, por el aire libre
Y los demás dijeron»
«Â¡Pobre idiota no sabe que volar es imposible!»
Mas Ã(c)l alzó sus sueños hacia el cielo
Y poco a poco, fue ganando altura
Y los demás, quedaron en el suelo
Guardando la cordura
Y construyó, castillos en aire
A pleno sol, con nubes de algodón
En un lugar, adonde nunca nadie
Pudo llegar usando la razón
Y construyó ventanas fabulosas
Llenas de luz, de magia y de color
Y convocó al duende de las cosas
Que tiene mucho que ver con el amor
En los demás, al verlo tan dichoso
Cundió la alarma, se dictaron normas
«No vaya a ser que fuera contagioso»
Tratar de ser feliz de aquella forma
La conclusión, es clara y contundente
Lo condenaron por su chifladura
A convivir de nuevo con la gente
Vestido de cordura
Por construir castillos en el aire
A pleno sol, con nubes de algodón
En un lugar, adonde nunca nadie
Pudo llegar usando la razón
Y por abrir ventanas fabulosas
Llenas de luz, de magia y de color
Y convocar al duende de las cosas
Que tienen mucho que ver con el amor
Acaba aquí la historia del idiota
Que por el aire, como el aire libre
Quiso volar igual que las gaviotas
Pero eso es imposible, ¿o no?

Lyrics translation

"He wanted to fly like the Seagulls
Free in the air, by the open air
And the others said»
"Poor idiot doesn't know that flying is impossible!»
But he raised his dreams to heaven
And little by little, it was gaining height
And the others were left on the ground
Looking at sanity
And built, castles in the air
In full sun, with clouds of cotton
In a place, where no one ever
Could have arrived using reason
And built fabulous Windows
Full of Light, Magic and color
And he summoned the Leprechaun of things
That has a lot to do with love
In others, seeing him so blessed
Sounded the alarm, rules were dictated
"It won't be contagious»
Try to be happy that way
The conclusion, is clear and forceful
He was convicted of his nut job.
To live with people again
Dress of sanity
By building castles in the air
In full sun, with clouds of cotton
In a place, where no one ever
Could have arrived using reason
And for opening fabulous Windows
Full of Light, Magic and color
And summon the Leprechaun of things
That have a lot to do with love
The story of the idiot ends here
That by the air, like the open air
He wanted to fly just like the Seagulls
But that's impossible, isn't it?
