Eran 5 hermanos que decían quiero ir a las estrellas
They were 5 brothers who said I want to go to the stars
Y los padres les decían que tal vez ellos irían
And the parents told them that maybe they would go.
Siempre que primero terminaran los deberes de la escuela
As long as they finished school homework first
El primero no quería nada de eso
The first one didn't want any of that.
Solo las estrellas
Only the stars
Y las vio bien grandes cuando el padre
And he saw them very big when the father
Lo agarró a patadas
He kicked him
Y lo echó derecho viejo para la calle
And he threw it right old for the street
El segundo se fue para hollywood a trabajar de mozo
The second went to Hollywood to work as a waiter
En un bar donde comían
In a bar where they ate
Siempre muchas de las grandes estrellas de cine
Always many of the big movie stars
Como linda blair y como charles bronson
Like Cute Blair and like Charles Bronson
El tercero se hizo comisario y le pusieron una estrella
The third became a commissioner and was given a star
Reluciente en la solapa de su clásica chaqueta
Shiny on the lapel of his classic jacket
Y con el tiempo se olvidó de las estrellas y de los planetas
And eventually he forgot about the stars and planets.
El cuarto de los hermanos estudio para ser arquitecto
The brothers' room studied to be an architect
Y gracias a tres botellas, consiguió salir electo
And thanks to three bottles, he managed to get elected
En la licitación para el proyecto
In the tender for the project
De un hotel de 5 estrellas
From a 5-star hotel
El menor el quinto era distinto
The youngest the fifth was different
No quería, no podía
I didn't want to, I couldn't
No sabia conformarse con estrellas de mentira
He didn't know how to settle for fake stars.
Y hoy acaba de mandar una postal desde las tres marías
And today he just sent a postcard from the three Marys
Eran cinco hermanos que decían quiero ir a las estrellas.
They were five brothers who said I want to go to the stars
