Prefiero El Trapecio English translation

With the Gilda sisters I sleep in a big bed
We dance to the songs of Sisa and Peret
In a building with glassless windows
Carpanta and I live off cans of squid

At thirteen, Rue del Percebe
I live in the absence of rogue desire
In the destitution of the hook and the peg leg
And if life is a dream
As some troubled navigator said
I prefer the trapeze
To see them come moving

I'm living my way
If it's convenient, watering for the fig tree to grow
So that it grows and gives shade
Pa' that gives shade and fruits
and many springs
and many springs

Before a bonfire that I feed
With furniture from some indecent eviction
I warm up next to the Correcaminos
Rompetechos and other colleagues
Finally good people

we are fictional people
urban castaways
Lost, Renegades, Misfits
Forgotten, fictional people
Fetén people, if the world were made of cardboard

I prefer the trapeze
To see them come moving
I'm living my way
If it's convenient, watering for the fig tree to grow
So that it grows and gives shade
Pa 'that gives shade and fruits
and many springs
and many springs

Gentlemen in worn bowler
Torn Glove Diamond Sock
Of filthy scarf on humid March nights

Like the cute kitten, we invariably fail
Much to the amusement of the staff who leer at us
And like the Coyote, we never arrive on time
Neither to the place, nor at the precise moment
