Below, I translated the lyrics of the song De Mayor by Bunbury from Spanish to English.
Cuando era pequeño me enseñaron
When I was little they taught me
A perder la inocencia gota a gota
To lose innocence drop by drop
Cuando fui creciendo aprendí
When I was growing up I learned
A llevar como escudo la mentira
To carry lies as a shield
Qué tontería!
What nonsense!
De pequeño me enseñaron a querer ser mayor
As a child they taught me to want to be grown-up
De mayor quiero aprender a ser pequeño
As an adult I want to learn to be a child
Y así cuando cometa otra vez el mismo error
And so when I make the same mistake again
Quizás no me lo tengas tan en cuenta
Maybe you won't hold it against me so much
Me atrapó el laberinto del engaño
The labyrinth of deceit trapped me
Con alas de cera me escapé
With wax wings I escaped
Para no volver
To not return
Cerca de las nubes como en sueños
Near the clouds like in dreams
Descubrí que a todos nos sucede
I discovered that it happens to all of us
Lo que sucede
What happens
De pequeño me enseñaron a querer ser mayor
As a child they taught me to want to be grown-up
De mayor quiero aprender a ser pequeño
As an adult I want to learn to be a child
Y así cuando cometa otra vez el mismo error
And so when I make the same mistake again
Quizás no me lo tengas tan en cuenta
Maybe you won't hold it against me so much
De pequeño me enseñaron a querer ser mayor
As a child they taught me to want to be grown-up
De mayor quiero aprender a ser pequeño
As an adult I want to learn to be a child
Y así cuando cometa otra vez el mismo error
And so when I make the same mistake again
Quizás no me lo tengas tan en cuenta
Maybe you won't hold it against me so much
