Boy Band [English translation]
Boy Band [English translation]
I'm in a boy band.
I'm in a boy band.
I work in a boy band.
I'm in a boy band.
Melodies woke me up
that went through the walls
Mrs. Elvira filling the estate
with zarzuelas1 and couplets.
They bought me a classical guitar
one Sunday at the Mercat dels Encants2
I learned to play "Give A
Little Bit" by Supertramp
And now I'm in a boy band.
I'm in a boy band.
I work in a boy band.
I'm in a boy band.
Àlex took me to La Boîte
To a singer-songwriter's concert
I thought: I'll be like him (no!)
I thought: I'll be better.
A man on the corner
did the boogie with his cousin
I told him "I've heard what you play,
I think one day I'll have to come"
And the microphone transforming
my voice into electricity
covered my flaws,
my emptiness, my vanity.
And now I'm in a boy band.
I'm in a boy band.
I work in a boy band.
I'm in a boy band.
Now I write in libraries
Full of students and old people
But a Whatsapp group distracts me,
or the mystery of the back of someones's neck.
Now I wander through the squares
I look for an adjective that fits
But I'm confused by the terraces
or the light, dim, of a rooftop.
I'm in a boy band.
I'm in a boy band.
I work in a boy band.
I'm in a boy band.
