La Máquina de Ser Feliz
Charly García
Lyrics
Translation
Pedimos perdón
We ask for forgiveness
Corriendo enmascarando el fin
Running, masking the end
Por eso te busqué
That's why I looked for you
Por eso diseñé
That's why I designed
La máquina de ser feliz
The machine to be happy
Plateada y lunar
Silver and lunar
Remotamente digital
Remotely digital
No tiene que hacer bien
It doesn't have to do good
No tiene que hacer mal
It doesn't have to do bad
Es inocencia artificial
It's artificial innocence
Prende y se apaga sola
Turns on and off on its own
Sale después de hora
It comes out after hours
Hay tanta gente sola
There are so many lonely people
Hoy tanta gente llora
Today so many people cry
Con forma de un pez
Shaped like a fish
Nadando en mares de babel
Swimming in seas of Babel
No sé si la robé
I don't know if I stole it
No sé si la pedí
I don't know if I asked for it
O simplemente estuvo ahí
Or if it simply was there
Un día se me fue
One day it left me
Ese día yo volví a reír
That day I laughed again
Y la felicidad
And happiness
No existe en soledad
Does not exist in solitude
La máquina no puede dar
The machine cannot provide
Prende y se apaga sola
Turns on and off on its own
Sale después de hora
It comes out after hours
La máquina de ser feliz
The machine to be happy
Hay tanta gente sola
There are so many lonely people
Hoy tanta gente llora
Today so many people cry
La máquina de ser feliz, la tiene el Papa, la tengo yo
The machine to be happy, the Pope has it, I have it
