Translation of the song Robin Hood artist Amaral
Robin Hood
Robin Hood
Cuando tocaba en los bares
When I was playing in bars
Un borracho me decía:
A drunk used to tell me
En las cenizas del fracaso
In the ashes of failure
Está la sabiduría.
Lies wisdom.
La piedra filosofal
The philosopher's stone
Que yo busqué cada día
Which I searched for every day
Y aún no he podido encontrar,
And still I haven't found
Tal vez porque ya no exista.
Perhaps because it doesn't exist anymore1
Cuando dormía en los parques
When I was sleeping in parks
Un arcángel venía
An archangel used to come
A protegerme de noche,
To protect me at night
A espantar a la policía.
To scare the police away.
No sé lo que pasó,
I don't know what happened
Si estaba escrito o no,
Whether it was written or not,
Si fue su culpa o la mía.
Whether it was his fault or mine2.
Pero mi ángel cayó,
But my angel fell,
Igual que yo caí
As I did
En cada vicio que me descubría.
Into every vice that found me.
La diferencia entre él y yo,
The difference between him and I,
Es que yo aún sigo con vida.
Is that I'm still alive.
Siempre tenía un plan,
I always had a plan
Hablaba de escapar
I used to talk about running away
Robando un barco del puerto.
By stealing a boat from the harbour.
Si le hubiera dejado
If I had let him
Hubiera reventado
He would have broken into
La caja fuerte de un banco creyendo en
The bank safe with
Delirios de Robin Hood...
Delusions of being Robin Hood...
Delirios de Robin Hood...
Delusions of being Robin Hood...
