La Casa por el Tejado [English translation]

It looks like I understand it now

The important things here

Are the ones behind the skin

And everything else

Starts where my feet end

After a lot of time I learned

There are things that it's better not to learn

The school didn't teach me much

If it was up to those book, I would have never learned to:

Take the sky with my hands

To laugh and cry with what I sing to you

To sew my broken soul

To lose the fear to look like an idiot

And to put the cart before the horse

To sleep when you're not next to me

I'm glad I've always been a rascal

I learned all I know from a witch

Devastated, don't you see I'm devastated inside?

My cigarette is burning the time

Time that became ashes

Freak, I don't say “different” I say “freak”

I don't know if it's the world that is upside down

Or it's me who's face down

The school didn't teach me much

If it was up to those book, I would have never learned to:

Take the sky with my hands

To laugh and cry with what I sing to you

To sew my broken soul

To lose the fear to look like an idiot

And to put the cart before the horse

To sleep when you're not next to me

I'm glad I've always been a rascal

I learned all I know from a witch
