Ese día un día llegara
That day one day will come
No sera pronto ni tarde
It won't be soon or late
Cuando no queda cerilla ya
When there's no match left
Es el dedo lo que arde
It's the finger that burns
Lo que sube habrá de descender
What goes up will have to go down
Y aunque mientras la escalada
And while climbing
No es cuestión de mirarse a los pies
It's not a matter of looking at your feet
No se yo si esta cordada
I don't know if she's sane
Ha pensado en la bajada
You've thought about the descent
Que si ese día la tortilla da la vuelta
That if that day the omelette turns around
Veréis que pocos nos quedamos en cubierta
You'll see that few of us stay on deck
El uno, el dos, el tres
The one, the two, the three
Y para de contar
And stop counting
Que al escondite ingles
That to the English hideout
Se han puesto los demás
They've put on the others
El uno, el dos, el tres
The one, the two, the three
Y para de cantar
And stop singing
Porque a ninguno le interesa escuchar
Because no one is interested in listening
Aunque en la foto aparentemos mas
Although in the photo we seem more
Somos solo tres polillas
We're just three moths
Que de tanto dar contra el cristal
That of so much to hit the glass
Se han colado en la bombilla
They sneaked into the light bulb
Hasta que la luz de este quinque
Until the light of this five-year-long
Ya no sea lo que era
It's no longer what it was
Y se encienda solo para que
And it turns on just so that
Se la vea desde fuera
You can see it from the outside
Como la de la nevera
Like the one in the fridge
Si de ese cuajo la tortilla da la vuelta
If the omelette turns around from that rennet
Veréis que pocos nos quedamos en cubierta
You'll see that few of us stay on deck
El uno, el dos, el tres
The one, the two, the three
Y para de contar
And stop counting
Que al escondite ingles
That to the English hideout
Se han puesto los demás
They've put on the others
El uno, el dos, el tres
The one, the two, the three
Y para de cantar
And stop singing
Porque a ninguno le interesa escuchar
Because no one is interested in listening
Y quizá volvamos al local
And maybe we'll go back to the place
A cantar para nosotros
To sing for us
Lo de 'hoy no me puedo levantar'
The 'I can't get up today' thing
Y dejar que esa chorrada
And let that bullshit
Nos empane la mirada
We're staring
Lagrimas de agua pasada
Tears of past water
Despintando la fachada
Despining the facade
