Niño de palo [English translation]

Now you can see how everything spins,

and today you've opeened the door and

your arms to me.

After swallowing all your disparagement

and hearing that I'm a perfect clown

you've forgotten the bad you said about me.

It never occurred to you that one day

I would manage to do someting without you.

I'm not a boy made of wood

dancing with threads that you can tie,

leave me alone

it's no use talking with you.

I was your rag doll,

your cheap junk-shop toy

and now I die laughing when I hear you speak.

Now you can see how everything spins

and so, without wanting to,Now you can see how everything spins

you find yourself lost to me

who was always a waste of space.

You're showing bitterness

and a wound,

you've forgotten the bad you said about me.

It never occurred to you that one day

I would manage to do someting without you.

I'm not a boy made of wood

dancing with threads that you can tie,

leave me alone

because you're not going to help me,

I was your rag doll,

your cheap junk-shop toy.

I want time to teach me

where I must arrive,

now you can see how everything spins

and today you opened me the door.

I'm not a boy made of wood

dancing with threads that you can tie.

I'm not a boy made of wood

dancing with threads that you can tie.

I'm not a boy made of wood

dancing with threads you can tie.
