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
Often children resemble us
Así nos dan la primera satisfacción
That's how they give us the first satisfaction
Esos que se menean con nuestros gestos
Those who move with our gestures
Echando mano a cuanto hay a su alrededor
Grabbing everything around them
Esos locos bajitos que se incorporan
Those little crazies who stand up
Con los ojos abiertos de par en par
With their eyes wide open
Sin respeto al horario ni a las costumbres
Without respect for schedules or customs
Y a los que, por su bien, hay que domesticar
And who, for their own good, must be tamed
Niño, deja ya de joder con la pelota
Child, stop messing around with the ball
Niño, que eso no se dice
Child, that's not said
Que eso no se hace
That's not done
Que eso no se toca
That's not touched
Cargan con nuestros dioses y nuestro idioma
They carry our gods and our language
Nuestros rencores y nuestro porvenir
Our resentments and our future
Por eso nos parece que son de goma
That's why it seems to us that they are made of rubber
Y que les bastan nuestros cuentos para dormir
And that our stories are enough for 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 trade and without 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
Child, stop messing around with the ball
Nada ni nadie puede impedir que sufran
Nothing and no one can prevent them from suffering
Que las agujas avancen en el reloj
That the needles move on the clock
Que decidan por ellos, que se equivoquen
That decisions are made for them, that they make mistakes
Que crezcan y que un día nos digan adiós
That they grow up and one day say goodbye
