Los Artistas Lyrics in English Rozalén
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Los Artistas by Rozalén from Spanish to English.
Rita ya desde pequeña
Rita, already as a child
Quiso ser cantante como su mama
Wanted to be a singer like her mom
Fede cose marionetas
Fede sews puppets
Sueña con historias que quiere mostrar
Dreams of stories he wants to show
Lía ama la poesía
Lía loves poetry
Pasa todo el día escribiendo sin parar
Spends all day writing non-stop
Óscar busca personajes para interpretar
Óscar looks for characters to play
Y no tenían para vivir
And they had nothing to live on
Y tuvieron que partir
And they had to leave
Lejos de aquí
Far from here
Por por por porque en su país
Because because because in their country
Quieres seres tristes
You want sad beings
Incapaces de bailar y reír
Incapable of dancing and laughing
Pensar y sentir
To think and to feel
Nadie encuentra ya locales
Nobody finds venues anymore
No hay facilidades
There are no facilities
Ni caches para crear
Nor fees to create
Si actúan en la calle
If they perform in the street
Si piensan muy alto
If they think too loudly
Hasta les pueden multar
They can even fine them
Se reparten beneficios
They share the profits
Los intermediarios un mal IVA cultural
The intermediaries, a bad cultural VAT
Siempre son las mismas caras
It's always the same faces
Las que en las pantallas aparecerán
That will appear on the screens
Pero ya si que canta rita
But now Rita really sings
Y de tela no de piel y hueso son las marionetas
And the puppets are made of fabric, not skin and bone
Y la vida es un tatro callejero
And life is a street theater
Que se extiende a cada esquina a cada empleao
That extends to every corner, to every employee
Cada vez mas creativo
More and more creative
Son cada vez mas productivos
Are more and more productive
Y escritos versos de poetas en las servilletas
And poets' verses written on napkins
Y los bares cierran tarde
And the bars close late
Esculturas son las piedra
The stones are sculptures
Y los niños juegan con lo que imagina su cabeza
And children play with what their heads imagine
Porque el arte es por amor
Because art is for love
Y del alma se alimenta
And feeds on the soul
Y no tenían para vivir
And they had nothing to live on
Y tuvieron que partir
And they had to leave
Lejos de aquí
Far from here
Por por por porque en mi país
Because because because in my country
Quieres seres tristes
You want sad beings
Incapaces de bailar y reír
Incapable of dancing and laughing
Pensar y sentir
