Sebastian - Rubén Blades

En cada barrio hay por lo menos un loco

El del nuestro se llamaba Sebastián

Lavaba carros y hacía de todo un poco

Para ganarse el pan.

Sebastián tenia una novia imaginaria

Y con ella discutía sin cesar

Se ataba al cuello una capa hecha de trapos

Y corriendo por las calles lo escuchabamos gritar:

Sebastián si me quieres conquistar

Solo las estrellas bastarán, solo las estrellas bastarán

En cada loco hay por lo menos un sueño

Ser amado era el ideal de Sebastian

Con papel, lata, cartón y mucho empeño

Comenzo su plan

Por amor alucinando implacable fue creando

La mas grande super nave espacial

Para irse con su novia de nuestro barrio de mierda

Hacia el mundo sideal

En cada sueño hay por lo menos 1 drama

Y entre angustias se enredaba Sebastián

Una noche cuando con el cielo hablaba

Sobre el orizonte vió una luz cruzar

Felíz, gritó: espérame!

Y lo vi correr lanzandose en el mar

Tratando aquel destello recobrar

Porque solo las estrellas bastarán

(solo las estrellas bastarán)

(Sebastián!)

(Sebastián!)

Sobre la arena sucia de la playa del mercado

Hay una baina que parece un proyectil

De sus alas cuelga una capa de trapos

De su sombra una soledad sin fin

Su novia imaginaria aún lo espera

En las noches hace guardia frente al mar

Nadie la conquistara

A ninguna otra ilución se entregará

Fiel al loco que le dio la eternidad

Porque solo las estrellas bastarán

(solo las estrellas bastarán)

(solo las estrellas bastarán)

(Sebastián!)

(Sebastián!)

In every neighborhood there is at least one crazy person

Ours was called Sebastián

He washed cars and did a little of everything

To earn bread.

Sebastian had an imaginary girlfriend

And with her he argued endlessly

He tied around his neck a cape made of rags

And running through the streets we heard him shout:

Sebastian if you want to conquer me

Only the stars will suffice, only the stars will suffice

In every madman there is at least one dream

Being loved was Sebastian's ideal

With paper, can, cardboard and a lot of effort

start your plan

For love hallucinating relentless he was creating

The biggest super spaceship

To leave with his girlfriend from our shitty neighborhood

To the sideal world

In every dream there is at least 1 drama

And between anguish Sebastián got entangled

One night when he with the sky he spoke

Over the horizon he saw a light cross

Happy, he shouted: wait for me!

And I saw him run throwing himself into the sea

Trying to recover that flash

Because only the stars will suffice

(only the stars will suffice)

(Sebastian!)

(Sebastian!)

On the dirty sand of the market beach

There is a bay that looks like a projectile

From his wings hangs a cloak of rags

From his shadow of her an endless loneliness

His imaginary girlfriend of his is still waiting for him

At night she stands guard in front of the sea

No one will conquer her

To no other illusion will he surrender

Faithful to the madman who gave him eternity

Because only the stars will suffice

(only the stars will suffice)

(only the stars will suffice)

(Sebastian!)

(Sebastian!)
