Un día en el mundo [English translation]

During the daytime they shut us

in their cages of concrete1

and we learn from the lion.2

At nights we catch

suffocated hearts

and shots in their honour.

Look at me, I'm happy,

your game has left me this way.3

To consume, to produce,

blood covers my nose.

I don't know what happened with the rumour

which saw our birth,

it paid the tamer for the cage.

We dilate our pupils

in dates with mermaids

with neon legs.

And we blaspheme for God,

we promise for you.

We wear out

our cramped bodies

for a cardboard dream.

Look at me, I'm happy,

your game has left me this way.

To disguise, to seduce,

I make myself handsome for you.

I don't know what happened with the rumour

which saw our birth,

it paid the tamer for the cage.

Look at me, I'm happy.

Look at me, your game has left me this way.

Look at me, what am I doing here?

Look at me, your game has left me this way.

I don't know what happened with that rumour

which saw us grow up

being the lion's food.

Look at me, I'm happy,

your game has left me this way.

To deceive, to seduce,

I make myself handsome for you.

I don't know what happened with the rumour,

it paid the tamer for the cage.

Look at me, I'm happy.

Look at me, your game has left me this way.
