El Titiritero Lyrics English Translation by Camilo
How far do you have to go?
How many blocks toward nothing?
Oh, where is happy at
That I can’t find it on the map?
‘Cause when I was over there they told me it was here
I don’t see any sign, nobody can tell me
Could it be I was distracted and didn’t see it?
And now that I have everything I wanted
I see I was looking for what I already had
And now that there’s too much of everything that wasn’t there before
I wanna go back there, when I was happy
But I didn’t know it
La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
But I didn’t know it
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La, la
A sunrise on the little beach
A little shower in the downpour
The first date with the little girlfriend
Those little butterflies of the first “I love you”
And so many times I heard that forward is that way
I went forward, and now I wanna go back
Where the sun warms you, where the sea gets you wet
How do I get back?
And now that I have everything I wanted
I see I was looking for what I already had
And now that there’s too much of everything that wasn’t there before
I wanna go back there, when I was happy
But I didn’t know it
La, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La, la
La-la-la-la-la-la
But I didn’t know it
