Lyrics

Perteneciste a una raza antigua
De pies descalzos
Y de sueños blancos
Fuiste polvo, polvo eres
Piensa que el hierro
Siempre al calor es blando
Tu mordiste la manzana
Y renunciaste al paraíso
Y condenaste a una serpiente
Siendo tu el que así lo quiso
Por milenios y milenios
Permaneciste desnudo
Y te enfrentaste a dinosaurios
Bajo un techo y sin escudo
Y ahora estas aquí
Queriendo ser feliz
Cuando no te importó
Un pepino tu destino
Perteneciste a una raza antigua
De pies descalzos
Y de sueños blancos
Fuiste polvo, polvo eres
Piensa que el hierro
Siempre al calor es blando
Construiste un mundo exacto
De acabados tan perfectos
Cada cosa calculada
En su espacio y en su tiempo
Yo que soy un caos completo
Las entradas, las salidas
Los nombres y las medidas
No me caben en los sesos
Y ahora estas aquí
Queriendo ser feliz
Cuando no te importó
Un pepino tu destino
Perteneciste a una raza antigua
De pies descalzos
Y de sueños blancos
Fuiste polvo, polvo eres
Piensa que el hierro
Siempre al calor es…
Perteneciste a una raza antigua
De pies descalzos
Y de sueños blancos
Fuiste polvo, polvo eres
Piensa que el hierro
Siempre al calor es blando
Saludar al vecino
Acostarse a una hora
Trabajar cada día
Para vivir en la vida
Y contestar solo aquello
Y sentir solo esto
Y que Dios nos ampare
De malos pensamientos
Cumplir con las tareas
Asistir al colegio
Qué diría la familia
Si eres un fracasado?
Ponte siempre zapatos
No hagas ruido en la mesa
Una medias veladas y
Corbata en las fiestas
Las mujeres se casan
Siempre antes de treinta
Sino vestirán santos
Aunque así no lo quieran
Y en la fiesta de quince
Es mejor no olvidar
Una fina champaña
Y bailar bien el vals

Lyrics translation

You belonged to an ancient race
Barefoot
And white dreams
You were dust, dust you are
Think that Iron
Always in the heat is soft
You bit the Apple.
And you gave up paradise
And you condemned a snake
You're the one who wanted to.
For millennia and millennia
You stayed naked
And you faced dinosaurs
Under a roof and without shield
And now you're here
Wanting to be happy
When you didn't care
A cucumber your destiny
You belonged to an ancient race
Barefoot
And white dreams
You were dust, dust you are
Think that Iron
Always in the heat is soft
You built an exact World
Of such perfect finishes
Every thing calculated
In your space and in your time
I am a complete chaos
The entrances, the exits
Names and measures
They don't fit in my brains.
And now you're here
Wanting to be happy
When you didn't care
A cucumber your destiny
You belonged to an ancient race
Barefoot
And white dreams
You were dust, dust you are
Think that Iron
Always warm is…
You belonged to an ancient race
Barefoot
And white dreams
You were dust, dust you are
Think that Iron
Always in the heat is soft
Greet the neighbor
Lie down in an hour
Work every day
To live in life
And answer only that
And feel alone this
And may God protect us
Of bad thoughts
Fulfill the tasks
Attending school
What would the family say
If you're a failure?
Always wear shoes
Don't make any noise at the table.
A half-evening and
Tie at parties
Women get married
Always before thirty
Otherwise they will wear Saints
Even if they don't want to.
And at the party of fifteen
It is better not to forget
A fine champagne
And dance the waltz well
