Esos Locos Bajitos Lyrics in English Joan Manuel Serrat
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Esos Locos Bajitos by Joan Manuel Serrat from Spanish to English.
A menudo los hijos se nos parecen
Children often resemble us
Así nos dan la primera satisfacción
That's how they give us our first joy
Esos que se menean con nuestros gestos
Those who wiggle with our gestures
Echando mano a cuanto hay a su alrededor
Grabbing at everything around them
Esos locos bajitos que se incorporan
Those crazy little ones who get up
Con los ojos abiertos de par en par
With eyes wide open
Sin respeto al horario ni a las costumbres
With no respect for schedules or customs
Y a los que, por su bien, hay que domesticar
And whom, for their own good, we must tame
Niño, deja ya de joder con la pelota
"Kid, stop messing around with the ball"
Niño, que eso no se dice
"Kid, you don't say that
Que eso no se hace
You don't do that
Que eso no se toca
You don't touch that"
Cargan con nuestros dioses y nuestro idioma
They carry our gods and our language
Nuestros rencores y nuestro porvenir
Our grudges and our future
Por eso nos parece que son de goma
That's why we think they're made of rubber
Y que les bastan nuestros cuentos para dormir
And that our stories are enough to put them to sleep
Nos empeñamos en dirigir sus vidas
We insist on directing their lives
Sin saber el oficio y sin vocación
Without knowing the job and without any vocation
Les vamos trasmitiendo nuestras frustraciones
We pass on our frustrations to them
Con la leche templada y en cada canción
With warm milk and in every song
Niño, deja ya de joder con la pelota
"Kid, stop messing around with the ball"
Nada ni nadie puede impedir que sufran
Nothing and no one can stop them from suffering
Que las agujas avancen en el reloj
From the clock hands moving forward
Que decidan por ellos, que se equivoquen
From making their own decisions, from making mistakes
Que crezcan y que un día nos digan adiós
From growing up and one day they'll say goodbye to us
