There are No Sandcastles in the Sea

We build our castles in the sand.

Castillos de arena, Castillos de arena...

We tell ourselves that they are grand.

Nuestros pequeños imperios, estos castillos de arena...

We stand over what we built.

Estos tontos castillos de arena, estos Castillos de arena...

And when the foundation turns to silt...

Las olas arrastran los castillos de arena...

Our castles sink into the sea!

En el mar no hay castillos de arena, no castillos de arena...

And, oh God, oh, so do we.

La arena vuelve a la informe, no hay castillos de arena.
