Letras de Miracles - Matt Nathanson

Miracles (original)

They built a hero out of expectations
and what a hopeless hero was he with sticks for legs he shook when the wind blew,
even slightly
and he welcomed the smiles, he welcomed the applause
and he hoped that they’d never forget
just who they thought he was
they dressed him up in rich man’s clothes
and told him he was beautiful
then they expected miracles
His parents were pleased they went to all the parties
he was groomed for greatness from the time he was young
raised on a diet of television
he was taught to listen, kept dumb
and he welcomed desire and reckless luxury
and the world soaked up every drop of drama and insecurity
they dressed him up in rich man’s clothes
and told him he was beautiful
then they expected miracles
and then one day his admirers just quit him
they packed up their paint and were gone
and he stood alone,
their beautiful disaster,
wondering were he’d gone wrong
and he wanted the smiles and he wanted the applause
but no one would look him in the eye now,
no one returned his calls
they dressed him up in rich man’s clothes
and told him he was beautiful
then they expected miracles

(traducción)

Construyeron un héroe a partir de las expectativas
y qué héroe sin esperanza era él con palos por piernas que sacudía cuando soplaba el viento,
aunque sea un poco
y acogió las sonrisas, acogió los aplausos
y esperaba que nunca olvidaran
quién pensaban que era
lo vistieron con ropa de hombre rico
y le dijo que era hermoso
entonces esperaban milagros
Sus padres estaban contentos de haber ido a todas las fiestas.
fue preparado para la grandeza desde que era joven
criado con una dieta de televisión
le enseñaron a escuchar, lo mantuvieron mudo
y acogió el deseo y el lujo temerario
y el mundo absorbió cada gota de drama e inseguridad
lo vistieron con ropa de hombre rico
y le dijo que era hermoso
entonces esperaban milagros
y luego, un día, sus admiradores simplemente lo abandonaron
empacaron su pintura y se fueron
y se quedó solo,
su hermoso desastre,
preguntándose si se había equivocado
y quería las sonrisas y quería los aplausos
pero ahora nadie lo miraría a los ojos,
nadie devolvió sus llamadas
lo vistieron con ropa de hombre rico
y le dijo que era hermoso
entonces esperaban milagros
