Translation in Spanish

verse

Up on Melancholy Hill
Arriba de la Montaña Melancolía
There′s a plastic tree
Hay un árbol de plástico.
Are you here with me?
¿Estás aquí conmigo?
Just looking out on the day
Simplemente observando el día
Of another dream
De otro sueño
Well you can't get what you want
Bueno, no puedes obtener lo que quieres
But you can get me
Pero me puedes conseguir a mí
So let′s set out to sea, love
Así que salgamos al mar, amor
'Cause you are my medicine
Porque tú eres mi medicina
When you're close to me
Cuando estás cerca de mí
When you′re close to me
Cuando estás cerca de mí
So call in the submarines
Así que llama a los submarinos
′Round the world we'll go
Que irá alrededor del mundo
Does anybody know, love
Alguien lo sabe, amor?
If we′re looking out on the day
Si estamos mirando al día
Of another dream?
De otro sueño

pre-chorus

If you can't get what you want
Si no puedes obtener lo que quieres
Then come with me
Entonces ven conmigo.

bridge

Sits a manatee
Se sienta un manatí
Just looking out for the day
Solo esperando por el día
When you′re close to me
Cuando estás cerca de mí
When you're close to me
Cuando estás cerca de mí

When you′re close to me
Cuando estás cerca de mí
