El astronónomo que no podía ver el cielo
El Cuarteto de Nos
The astronomer who couldn't see the sky
Since he was a kid, he daydreamed
Like floating on distant planets
Imagining himself through the universe
Traveling alone, riding a comet
They saw him as a weirdo
The cosmic sheep of the flock
They pressured him to focus
And not think about those weird things anymore
But his mind was in a black hole
Bright and shining like a star
Like eclipsed by that vile touch
Talking with Copernicus and Galileo
From Orion to the Southern Cross
From Andromeda to the Big Dipper
In school, he failed because they said he was
On the Moon, not paying attention
Life wasn't easy for him, no (no-oh-oh-oh)
And the ungrateful reality once betrayed him
Lost in his constellation
And despair was winning him over
But it was worse for the astronomer who couldn't see the sky
He took refuge every night in his own galaxy
He was a Skywalker by definition
Running from routine like he was fed up
With the energy of E=MC squared
For his people, this was torture
And at work, they complained about his laziness
His family abandoned him on a solstice
And they fired him from work at an equinox
But he was already so many light-years away
And he had never been so happy
Though at that point, he knew everything was falling apart for him
And they wanted to destroy his universe
Life wasn't easy for him, no (no-oh-oh-oh)
And the ungrateful reality once betrayed him
Lost in his constellation
And despair was winning him over
But it was worse for the astronomer who couldn't see the sky
And they told him that if he continued with those visions
He would be broken by problems and complications
They gave him tranquilizers of every color
To silence the voice that shouted to hin: Eppur si muove
And his light faded like the Sun of the future
And his passion cooled down like Uranus and Neptune
Every shining star has its time
And his ilussion exploded like a supernova
Lost in his constellation
And despair was winning him over
But it was worse for the astronomer who couldn't see the sky
But it was worse for the astronomer who couldn't see the sky
