Below, I translated the lyrics of the song "Eungenio" Salvador Dali by Mecano from Spanish to English.
Dalí se desdibuja
Dalí fades
Tirita su burbuja
He tears his bubble
Al descontar latidos
When discounting beats
Dalí se decolora
Dalí loses color
Porque esta lavadora
Because this washing machine
No distingue tejidos
Doesn't distinguish fabrics
Él se da cuenta
He realizes
Y asustado se lamenta
And scared he laments
Los genios no deben morir
Geniuses must not die
Son mas de ochenta
There are more than eighty
Los que curvan tu osamenta
That curve your skeleton

Bigote Rocococo
Rococo mustache
De donde acaba el genio
From where genius ends
A donde empieza el loco
To where crazy begins
Mirada deslumbrada
Dazzled gaze
De donde acaba el loco
From where crazy ends
A donde empieza el hada
To where fairy begins
En tu cabeza se comprime la belleza
In your head beauty compresses
Como si fuese una olla exprés
As if it were a pressure cooker
Y es el vapor que va saliendo por la pesa
And it's the steam that comes out through the weight
Mágica luz en Cadaqués
Magical light in Cadaqués
Si te reencarnas en cosa
If you reincarnate in something
Hazlo en lápiz o en pincel
Do it in pencil or in brush
Y gala de piel sedosa
And gala of silky skin
Que lo haga en lienzo o en papel
Let it be in canvas or in paper
Si te reencarnas en carne
If you reincarnate in flesh
Vuelve a reencarnarte en ti
Reincarnate again in you
Que andamos justos de genios
That we are short of geniuses

Realista y surrealista
Realist and surrealist
Con luz de impresionista
With impressionist light
Y trazo impresionante
And impressive stroke
Delirio colorista
Colorist delirium
Colirio y oculista
Eye drops and oculist
De ojos delirantes
Of delirious eyes
En tu paleta mezclas místicos ascetas
In your palette you mix mystical ascetics
Con bayonetas y con tetas
With bayonets and with breasts
Y en tu cerebro gala Dios y las pesetas
And in your brain gala God and the pesetas
Buen catalán anacoreta
Good Catalan anchorite
Si tu reencarnas en cosa
If you reincarnate in something
Hazlo en lápiz o en pincel
Do it in pencil or in brush
Y gala de piel sedosa
And gala of silky skin
Que lo haga en lienzo o en papel
Let it be in canvas or in paper
Si te reencarnas en carne
If you reincarnate in flesh
Vuelve a reencarnarte en ti
Reincarnate again in you
Que andamos juntos de genios
That we are together short of geniuses
Queremos genios en vida
We want geniuses in life
Queremos que estés aquí
We want you to be here
