Los Renglones Torcidos De Dios Lyrics in English Mägo de Oz

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Los Renglones Torcidos De Dios by Mägo de Oz from Spanish to English.
Just like yesterday, sadness rained down like a shooting star
What a discreet, fleeting death that leaves no trace as it departs
Today the morning holds the silliness and the gaze of the sun
It's tiresome, bleary-eyed and weary
It spreads its rays with drowsiness
The morning hinders whoever
isn't able to understand
Even though three and six aren't ten
that he's who he is and not who he thinks
To drown madness is like trying
to cover and hide the sun with one finger
Giving birth to thoughts is like emptying
the sea with only my hands
I live inside this cage of bones
My mind one day took flight
Beyond Wonderland
Alice one day heard someone ask
Along the road to the land of Oz
in search of clarity and reason
to leave his cell that for him is reality
to find the key hidden within him
Oh, I want to strip
my soul of darkness now
Oh, I want to wake up
and know why to love
To drown madness is like trying
to cover and hide the sun with one finger
Giving birth to thoughts is like emptying
the sea with only my hands
Give me peace
and I'll raise you a temple
Make them shut up
There are voices here
Give me peace
For I search and don't find
the way back to living
To drown madness is like trying
to cover and hide the sun with one finger
Giving birth to thoughts is like emptying
the sea with only my hands
Give me peace
and I'll raise you a temple
Make them shut up
There are voices here
Give me peace
For I search and don't find
the way back to living
Give me peace
and I'll raise you a temple
Make them shut up
There are voices here
Give me peace
For I search and don't find
the way back
the way back
the way back to living

SONG MEANING

Mägo de Oz invites us on a fantastical yet unsettling trip through the maze of the human mind. “Los Renglones Torcidos de Dios” paints the picture of a narrator who feels trapped inside a “jaula de huesos” while their thoughts fly beyond Wonderland and Oz. Like trying to hide the sun with a single finger, suppressing madness is shown as impossible; ideas keep rushing out, as hard to contain as scooping the ocean with bare hands. The lyrics blend gloomy mornings with storybook references to Alice and the Yellow Brick Road, illustrating the fragile frontier between reality and hallucination.

Beneath the fairy-tale imagery lies a plea for inner peace. Refrains such as “Dame la paz” reveal a desperate search for clarity, a “way back to living” where the inner voices finally fall silent. The song becomes both confession and catharsis: an exploration of mental illness, identity, and the struggle to reclaim one’s own light. Listeners are left with a powerful message—accepting the crooked lines of our minds may be the first step toward true freedom.
