| I dream of birds, birds without wings
| Sueño con pájaros, pájaros sin alas
|
| Children who grew up to be dangerous things
| Niños que crecieron para ser cosas peligrosas
|
| I was known as the postman, I worked through the night
| Me conocían como el cartero, trabajaba toda la noche
|
| I made my deliveries sink out of sight
| Hice que mis entregas se hundieran fuera de la vista
|
| We would wrap them, wrap them up
| Los envolveríamos, los envolveríamos
|
| Anything to shut them up
| Cualquier cosa para callarlos
|
| Had to stitch them, stitch them up
| Tuve que coserlos, coserlos
|
| See how they fly
| mira como vuelan
|
| See how they fly
| mira como vuelan
|
| We’d hold them in the center 'till we were all done
| Los mantendríamos en el centro hasta que hubiéramos terminado
|
| We’d turn up the music and have some fun
| Subíamos el volumen de la música y nos divertíamos
|
| You’re on your way out, that’s what they were told
| Estás a punto de salir, eso es lo que les dijeron.
|
| And we’d mock them and drug them, 'till our stupor took its hold
| Y nos burlábamos de ellos y los drogábamos, hasta que nuestro estupor se apoderaba de ellos
|
| We would wrap them, wrap them up
| Los envolveríamos, los envolveríamos
|
| Anything to shut them up
| Cualquier cosa para callarlos
|
| Had to stitch them, stitch them up
| Tuve que coserlos, coserlos
|
| See how they fly
| mira como vuelan
|
| See how they fly
| mira como vuelan
|
| Fly out low, some way offshore
| Vuela bajo, de alguna manera mar adentro
|
| The sacking covers up their heads
| El saqueo les cubre la cabeza
|
| Don’t want to look into their eyes
| No quiero mirarlos a los ojos
|
| As I push them through the open door | Mientras los empujo a través de la puerta abierta |
