El Chico Del Ukelele

I don't know if you've heard of this boy
Separate teeth and sea eyes
He's hiding in the bathroom now
Running away from those kids hitting him

An unstable childhood
Peculiarly adorable
He hides from his parents
With his sister and his travels
Doesn't dress normally, likes to sing
Spends afternoons in the virtual world
(In his room, he writes another song)

If the four strings could speak
Stages would come to listen
The moment to go out and perform arrives
The lights point at him, but he's not there

Behind the screen, he meets a girl
Who believes in his melodies
These two teenagers play at loving each other
In a loop, he listens to 'I like the gap between your teeth'

Years go by, he goes to university
Studies and dances, and the girl is no longer there
He gets on the plane, can't stop looking
At the boy in green and city glasses
He's not the same, he's not the same
He tends to compare, but
There's something more!

If the four strings could speak
Stages would come to listen
The moment to go out and perform arrives
The lights point at him, but he's not there

The concert day arrives
Goosebumps all over his body
In case no one shows up, they laugh at him
Or he doesn't dare to go up
Stages are in your diary
Everyone singing, what are you waiting for
Stages are in your diary
Everyone singing, what are you waiting for

And he's not there, if the four strings could speak
There were lights, applause, and shining
If the moment to go out and perform arrives
Shining inside and he starts to tremble
The lights point at him, silence
There he is

In the back among the people's eyes
There's the girl applauding as always
He smiles from above and is surprised
He's going to conquer the world with a gap between his teeth
In the middle of this yellow
You and I know this is just the beginning
Of what these four strings wanted to tell you
From the ukulele boy
