A esta azotea
To this rooftop
No sube el recuerdo
The memory doesn't rise
A estas alturas
At this point
No hay tiempo ni azar
There's no time or chance
A veces me encuentro
Sometimes I find myself
Y a veces me pierdo
And sometimes I lose myself
Yo vivo en las nubes
I live in the clouds
Me dio por volar
I got the urge to fly
A veces me da por pensarte
Sometimes I think of you
Y empiezo a sentir gravedad
And I start to feel gravity
Después me da por olvidarte
Then I decide to forget you
Y vuelve la libertad
And freedom returns
Yo tengo un Penthouse en las nubes
I have a penthouse in the clouds
Con vistas a ningún lugar
With views of nowhere
Un coro de 30 querubes
A choir of 30 cherubs
Que no saben cantar
Who don't know how to sing
Yo tengo mi propio planeta
I have my own planet
Mi propio sistema solar
My own solar system
A veces pasas como cometa
Sometimes you pass by like a comet
Y empiezo a bajar
And I start to come down
Te olvido y me lanzo a volar
I forget you and I throw myself to fly
Me dicen que el tiempo
They tell me that time
No para allá abajo
Doesn't stop down there
Me tachan de loco
They label me crazy
No quiero bajar
I don't want to come down
En esta azotea
On this rooftop
Encuentro el atajo
I find the shortcut
Conspiro con todo
I conspire with everything
Por no recordar
To not remember
Me han dicho que sigues viviendo
I've been told that you're still living
Feliz en el mismo lugar
Happy in the same place
Y mientras yo sigo subiendo
And while I keep ascending
Queriendo olvidar
Wanting to forget
Yo tengo un Penthouse en las nubes
I've got a penthouse in the clouds
Con vistas a ningún lugar
With views to nowhere
Un coro de 30 querubes
A choir of 30 cherubs
Que no saben cantar
Who don't know how to sing
Yo tengo mi propio planeta
I have my own planet
Mi propio sistema solar
My own solar system
A veces pasas como cometa
Sometimes you pass by like a comet
Y empiezo a bajar
And I start to descend
Te olvido y me lanzo a volar
I forget you and I take off to fly
Yo tengo mi propio planeta
I have my own planet
Mi propio sistema solar
My own solar system
A veces pasas como cometa
Sometimes you pass like a comet
Y empiezo a bajar
And I start to descend
Te olvido y me lanzo a volar
I forget you and I take off to fly
