Tubs de ventilació [English translation]

When I have the certainty of knowing what comes after.

When I'm tired of hitting the mark day by day, month by month

When the ghosts of the future, of the present and of the past

visit me giving off a clear whiff of unanimity

I don't worry so much, I don't call a nurse

I know what I need, it's already clear what I have to do!

When I crash into the massive walls of my thoughts

When I don't take my pills and I'm too happy.

When I'm afraid that I'll die young of a flaring cancer.

When I see that some matters I can't fix by singing.

I don't worry so much, I don't call a nurse

I put on a shirt, I go out into the street

And I look in ventilacion pipes

In dark entrances to parks

In out-of-tune violas at funeral services

in eye drops which dazzle my eyes

in pep talks from team captains

in feet which splash too much in public swimming baths.

And I look in ventilacion pipes

In dark entrances to parks

In out-of-tune violas at funeral services

in eye drops which dazzle my eyes

in pep talks from team captains

and I look in places where, if I want to be okay, I shouldn't look

and I look in places where, if I want to be okay, I shouldn't look!
