Lyrics & translation
Verse
Heavy crown sits on the desk.
La corona pesa sobre el escritorio.
Gold rings hidden in my pocket.
Anillos de oro ocultos en mi bolsillo.
The teacher calls a different name.
La maestra llama un nombre diferente.
I am just a boy today.
Hoy solo soy un niño más.
Chorus
My crown keeps tipping off the desk.
Mi corona sigue cayéndose del escritorio.
The chalk dust settles on its gold.
El polvo de tiza se posa en su oro.
Ana lends a ruler to a king.
Ana le presta una regla a un rey.
I wait my turn, no tale untold.
Espero mi turno, ningún relato queda sin contar.
Verse
Small voices talk in the hall.
Voces pequeñas hablan en el pasillo.
I used to look away before.
Antes solía mirar hacia otro lado.
Now I catch every single word.
Ahora capto cada una de las palabras.
Their stories build my new world.
Sus historias construyen mi nuevo mundo.
Chorus
My crown keeps tipping off the desk.
Mi corona sigue cayéndose del escritorio.
The chalk dust settles on its gold.
El polvo de tiza se posa en su oro.
Ana lends a ruler to a king.
Ana le presta una regla a un rey.
I wait my turn, no tale untold.
Espero mi turno, ningún relato queda sin contar.
Bridge
Kings are born from the silence.
Los reyes nacen desde el silencio.
Power grows when you are still.
El poder crece cuando estás quieto.
The throne waits for my return.
El trono espera por mi regreso.
I have finally learned to hear.
Finalmente he aprendido a oír.
Chorus
My crown keeps tipping off the desk.
Mi corona sigue cayéndose del escritorio.
The chalk dust settles on its gold.
El polvo de tiza se posa en su oro.
Ana lends a ruler to a king.
Ana le presta una regla a un rey.
I wait my turn, no tale untold.
Espero mi turno, ningún relato queda sin contar.
