Description
The slightly outdated jokes about the ‘prince on a white horse’ turn into a confession here: there will be no fairy tale, but there will be honesty. Instead of a knight in armour, there is a man with wrinkles and a bouquet of stolen roses, collected one by one since January. A little awkward, a little confused, but absolutely sincere.
There is something touching about this mismatch: one rushes between notes, stumbles and admits that he cannot dance without stepping on other people's feet; the other hides behind armour, as if afraid to show her fragility. But it is precisely in this imperfect couple that true liveliness appears - that very ‘let's raise our glasses before the world turns upside down’.
A funny romance without idealised images: a little wine, a little self-irony and the confidence that sometimes it's worth being with a ten and an ‘ordinary guy from the crowd’ after all.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Yo, más un mendigo que un príncipe azul
Tú en lo alto de una torre de papel
Bebes de la fuente de la juventud
Y yo casi tengo arrugas en la piel
No sé si soñabas con un caballero
Que te abra la puerta de algún sitio caro
Yo llevo robando rosas desde enero
Así en Navidad ya tengo todo el ramo
Espero que no sueñes con
El tipo que viste chaqué
Que no cantaría esta canción
Ni aunque hayan pasado las 3:00
Yo siempre me vi del montón
Y tú, no sé cómo me ves
Empiezo pidiendo perdón
Sabiendo que tú eres un 10
Que tú eres un 10
Yo, que llevo media vida al descubierto
Tú, que te has cubierto con una armadura
Para que el de fuera no vea lo que hay dentro
No eres de las que suele pedir ayuda
Yo a veces me siento como un trovador
Tú parece que no hablas el mismo idioma
Si te he escrito más de 100 cartas de amor
Y está claro que contigo no funciona
Espero que no sueñes con
El tipo que viste chaqué
Que no cantaría esta canción
Ni aunque hayan pasado las 3:00
Yo siempre me vi del montón
Y tú, no sé cómo me ves
Empiezo pidiendo perdón
Sabiendo que tú eres un 10
Que tú eres un 10 (que tú eres un 10)
Que tú eres un 10 (que tú eres un 10)
Y sabes que yo no sé cómo bailar sin pisarte los pies
Que tú eres un 10 (que tú eres un 10)
Que tú eres un 10 (que tú eres un 10)
Si quieres, brindamos hasta que veamos el mundo al revés
Espero que no sueñes con
La vida aburrida de aquel
Que controla la situación
Tratando a la gente de usted
Yo siempre me vi del montón
Y tú, no sé cómo me ves
Empiezo pidiendo perdón
Sabiendo que tú eres un 10
Que tú eres un 10 (que tú eres un 10)
Que tú eres un 10 (que tú eres un 10)
Y sabes que yo no sé cómo bailar sin pisarte los pies
Que tú eres un 10 (que tú eres un 10)
Que tú eres un 10 (que tú eres un 10)
Si quieres, brindamos hasta que veamos el mundo al revés
Que tú eres un 10
English translation
I, more a beggar than a prince charming
You at the top of a paper tower
Babies from the fountain of youth
And I almost have wrinkles on my skin
I don't know if you dreamed of a knight
Let me open the door to some expensive place for you
I have been stealing roses since January
So at Christmas I already have the whole bouquet
I hope you don't dream about
The guy who wears a morning coat
I wouldn't sing this song
Not even if it's past 3:00
I always saw myself as average
And you, I don't know how you see me
I start by asking for forgiveness
Knowing that you are a 10
that you are a 10
I, who have half my life exposed
You, who have covered yourself with armor
So that the outside does not see what is inside
You are not one of those who usually ask for help
Sometimes I feel like a troubadour
You don't seem to speak the same language
If I have written you more than 100 love letters
And it's clear that it doesn't work with you
I hope you don't dream about
The guy who wears a morning coat
I wouldn't sing this song
Not even if it's past 3:00
I always saw myself as average
And you, I don't know how you see me
I start by asking for forgiveness
Knowing that you are a 10
That you are a 10 (that you are a 10)
That you are a 10 (that you are a 10)
And you know that I don't know how to dance without stepping on your feet
That you are a 10 (that you are a 10)
That you are a 10 (that you are a 10)
If you want, we toast until we see the world upside down
I hope you don't dream about
The boring life of that
who controls the situation
Treating people to you
I always saw myself as average
And you, I don't know how you see me
I start by asking for forgiveness
Knowing that you are a 10
That you are a 10 (that you are a 10)
That you are a 10 (that you are a 10)
And you know that I don't know how to dance without stepping on your feet
That you are a 10 (that you are a 10)
That you are a 10 (that you are a 10)
If you want, we toast until we see the world upside down
that you are a 10
