El Ruiseñor Lyrics English Translation by Camilo
Do you want me to tell you a story?
Yes
Do you want me to tell you a real story or a make-believe one?
Make-believe
They held an extraordinary meeting, all five senses worried
With how fast the world changes, they were the first ones confused
They can’t do their job right because they can’t tell lime from sand
They’ve got this human hanging his head
Almost depressed in an identity crisis
Anxious, numb, happy and distracted from reality
Because a lie disguised itself as the truth
Then the heart spoke up
It’s always right
Even if they make a drone that sings
It’ll never be a nightingale
No matter how much a perfume smells, it’ll never be a flower
Even if it seems sincere, not every “I love you” is love
Maybe it’s the fault of the eyes that see gold in everything that shines
Or maybe the ears are to blame, they don’t listen, even though they hear just fine
Taste and smell are fighting, they can’t tell tobacco from vanilla
At that meeting, touch was missing
And they’ve got this human in an identity crisis
Anxious, numb, happy and distracted from reality
Because a lie disguised itself as the truth
Then the heart spoke up
It’s always right
Even if they make a drone that sings
It’ll never be a nightingale
No matter how much a perfume smells, it’ll never be a flower
Even if it seems sincere, not every “I love you” is love
