Letra original / traducida
The road to Mandalay
Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday
There’s nothing funny left to say
This sombre song would drain the sun
But it won’t shine until it’s sung
No water running in the stream
The saddest place we’ve ever seen
Everything I touched was golden
Everything I loved got broken
On the road to Mandalay
Every mistake I’ve ever made
Has been rehashed and then replayed
As I got lost along the way
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom badom
There’s nothing left for you to give
The truth is all that you’re left with
Twenty paces then at dawn
We will die and be reborn
I like to sleep beneath the trees
Have the universe at one with me
Look down the barrel of a gun
And feel the moon replace the sun
Everything we’ve ever stolen
Has been lost, returned or broken
No more dragons left to slay
Every mistake I’ve ever made
Has been rehashed and then replayed
As I got lost along the way
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom badom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom badom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom badom
Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday
There’s nothing funny left to say

El camino a Mandalay
Sálvame de ahogarme en el mar
Golpéame en la playa
Qué hermosas vacaciones
No queda nada gracioso que decir
Esta canción sombría drenaría el sol
Pero no brillará hasta que se cante
No hay agua corriendo en el arroyo
El lugar más triste que hemos visto
Todo lo que toqué fue dorado
Todo lo que amaba se rompió
En el camino a Mandalay
Cada error que he cometido
Se ha vuelto a repetir y luego se ha vuelto a reproducir
Mientras me perdía en el camino
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom badom
No te queda nada para dar
La verdad es todo lo que te queda
Veinte pasos después al amanecer
Moriremos y renaceremos
Me gusta dormir bajo los árboles
Haz que el Universo sea uno conmigo
Miro bajo el cañón de una pistola
Y siento que la luna reemplaza al sol
Todo lo que alguna vez hemos robado
Se ha perdido, devuelto o roto
No quedan más dragones por matar
Cada error que he cometido
Se ha vuelto a repetir y luego se ha vuelto a reproducir
Mientras me perdía en el camino
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom badom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom badom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom
Bom badom
Sálvame de ahogarme en el mar
Golpéame en la playa
Qué hermosas vacaciones
No queda nada gracioso que decir
