Lyrics

Mi Padre soñaba todo el dia,
con vender nuestra casa y marcharnos lejos.
Pobre soñador, quería hacerse rico y se hizo viejo.
Decía que él nos llevaría
a conocer el faro de Alejandría.
Pobre aventurero, quiso ser marino fue minero.
Y mi madre le repetía
al ver el tren del tiempo pasar.
Confórmate que ya es tarde!, y deja de soñar!
Iriamos todos a París
donde el sería Duque, y yo bailarina.
Quien le iba a decir,
en vez de ir a un palacio iba a la mina.
Mi Padre, soñaba todo el dia
Con vender nuestra casa y marcharnos lejos.
Pobre soñador, quería hacerse rico y se hizo viejo
Y mi madre le repetía
al ver el tren del tiempo pasar.
Confórmate que ya es tarde!, y deja de soñar!

Lyrics translation

My father dreamed all day,
with selling our house and going away.
Poor Dreamer, wanted to get rich and got old.
He said he'd take us.
to know the lighthouse of Alexandria.
Poor adventurer, wanted to be a sailor, was a miner.
And my mother kept telling him
watching the time train go by.
Make sure it's late! and stop dreaming!
We'd all go to Paris
where he would be Duke, and I would be a dancer.
Who was going to tell him,
instead of going to a palace I went to the mine.
My father, he dreamed all day
With selling our house and going away.
Poor Dreamer, wanted to get rich and got old
And my mother kept telling him
watching the time train go by.
Make sure it's late! and stop dreaming!
