Boy Band [English translation]

I'm in a boy band.

I'm in a boy band.

I work in a boy band.

I'm in a boy band.

Melodies woke me up

that went through the walls

Mrs. Elvira filling the estate

with zarzuelas1 and couplets.

They bought me a classical guitar

one Sunday at the Mercat dels Encants2

I learned to play "Give A

Little Bit" by Supertramp

And now I'm in a boy band.

I'm in a boy band.

I work in a boy band.

I'm in a boy band.

Àlex took me to La Boîte

To a singer-songwriter's concert

I thought: I'll be like him (no!)

I thought: I'll be better.

A man on the corner

did the boogie with his cousin

I told him "I've heard what you play,

I think one day I'll have to come"

And the microphone transforming

my voice into electricity

covered my flaws,

my emptiness, my vanity.

And now I'm in a boy band.

I'm in a boy band.

I work in a boy band.

I'm in a boy band.

Now I write in libraries

Full of students and old people

But a Whatsapp group distracts me,

or the mystery of the back of someones's neck.

Now I wander through the squares

I look for an adjective that fits

But I'm confused by the terraces

or the light, dim, of a rooftop.

I'm in a boy band.

I'm in a boy band.

I work in a boy band.

I'm in a boy band.
