La serotonina [English translation]

I came down with a fever the other day

and they called some specialist doctors.

In the middle of extracting the stone of madness,

they made the fountain of happiness spout from it.

And whilst I was dreaming, a nightmare came to me

It said, "I'm yours, you're mine, you can't escape."

I said, "Very well, nightmare, but what dreams do nightmares have?"

I can't say that he was very impressed...

Afterwards I remembered, as I woke up,

The incandescent light of a flash

And, taking note of the great miracle,

American and Cuban scientists.

And my serotonin went up,

My serotonin went up

(My serotonin went up),

Like the tide when it comes in

(To feet tired from the long day)

Like a girl who climbs up

(A tree full of mandarins)

My serotonin went up

(Yeah, my serotonin went up)

A lover of mine approached me, one I once had,

she asked, "what happened to you, my dear?"

I said, "You won't believe it, it's ridiculous,

I had a stone inside my head."

The future we could have built approached me,

I said, "Dude, we could have spent it well."

It replied, "Better men than you have loved me."

I can't deny that the future told the truth.

The good news was already spreading

beyond the Christian kingdoms,

history books were being torn up,

they were now out of date.

And my serotonin went up,

My serotonin went up

(My serotonin went up),

Like the tide when it comes in

(To feet tired from the long day)

Like a girl who climbs up

(A tree full of mandarins)

My serotonin went up

(Yeah, my serotonin went up)

Like the price of gasoline

(My serotonin went up)

Like whales when they breathe

(My serotonin went up)

It's a fragile trapeze artist

(My serotonin went up)

It's an intrepid alpinist

(My serotonin went up)

Mom, look up, Mom, lookup (for there's a satellite which is spying on us)

It's King Kong on the Empire State

(It's a condor which kidnaps a child1)

Old women laugh out loud2

(And it's more addictive than heroin3)

My serotonin went up

(Yeah, my serotonin went up)
