Original Lyrics
Translation in Spanish
verse
Transport, motorways, and tramlines
Transporte, autopistas y tranvías
Starting and then stopping
Andando y parando
Taking off and landing
Despegando y aterrizando
The emptiest of feelings
El más vacío de los sentimientos
Disappointed people
Gente desilusionada
Clinging on to bottles
Aferrándose a botellas
And when it comes
Y cuando llega
It′s so, so disappointing
Es muy, muy decepcionante.
chorus
Let down and hanging around
Decepcionado y sin hacer nada
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Aplastado como un bicho en el suelo
Let down and hanging around
Decepcionado y sin hacer nada
verse
Shell smashed, juices flowing
Caparazones destrozados, jugos fluyendo
Wings twitch, legs are going
Alas arrancadas, las piernas avanzan
Don't get sentimental
No te pongas sentimental
It always ends up drivel
Eso siempre termina en boberías
pre-chorus
One day I am gonna grow wings
Algun día me crecerán alas
A chemical reaction
Una reacción química
Hysterical and useless
Histérico e inútil
Hysterical and
Histérico y
chorus
Let down and hanging around
Decepcionado y sin hacer nada
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Aplastado como un bicho en el suelo
Let down and hanging around
Decepcionado y sin hacer nada
bridge
Let down again
Decepcionado otra vez
Let down again
Decepcionado otra vez
Let down again
Decepcionado otra vez
verse
You know, you know where you are with
Tú sabes, sabes dónde y con quién estás
You know where you are with
Sabes dónde y con quién estás
Floor collapsing
El suelo se está derrumbando
Floating, bouncing back
Flotando, rebotando
pre-chorus
And one day I am gonna grow wings
Y algún día, me van a crecer alas
A chemical reaction (you know where you are)
Una reacción química (tú sabes dónde estás)
Hysterical and useless (you know where you are)
Histérica e inútil (tú sabes dónde estás)
Hysterical and (you know where you are)
Histérica y (tú sabes dónde estás)
chorus
Let down and hanging around
Decepcionado y sin hacer nada
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Aplastado como un bicho en el suelo
Let down and hanging around
Decepcionado y sin hacer nada

Meaning
The song 'Let Down' by Radiohead paints a picture of disappointment and disillusionment in life, symbolized by feelings of emptiness, being crushed, and clinging onto temporary escapes like alcohol. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for something more meaningful, a desire to break free from the mundane and find a sense of purpose or transformation, represented by growing wings and undergoing a chemical reaction.
