Lyrics & translation
Verse
I spent my nights in the laboratory.
Pasé mis noches en el laboratorio.
I worked on a ridiculous invention.
Trabajé en un invento ridículo.
I put your joy into a glass jar.
Puse tu alegría en un frasco de cristal.
I wanted to sell your laughter.
Quería vender tu risa.
Chorus
The patent office sent my jar home.
La oficina de patentes devolvió mi frasco.
Your next laugh broke my best invention.
Tu siguiente risa rompió mi mejor invento.
No number fits your sudden joy.
Ningún número encaja con tu alegría repentina.
I leave that lovely sound unclaimed.
Dejo ese hermoso sonido sin reclamar.
Verse
I went to file the legal claim.
Fui a presentar la demanda legal.
I tried to put a price on your name.
Intenté ponerle precio a tu nombre.
But you walked in with a solemn face.
Pero entraste con un rostro solemne.
And laughed a way I couldn't trace.
Y te reíste de una forma que no pude rastrear.
Chorus
The patent office sent my jar home.
La oficina de patentes devolvió mi frasco.
Your next laugh broke my best invention.
Tu siguiente risa rompió mi mejor invento.
No number fits your sudden joy.
Ningún número encaja con tu alegría repentina.
I leave that lovely sound unclaimed.
Dejo ese hermoso sonido sin reclamar.
Bridge
Now you have a thousand different tones.
Ahora tienes mil tonos diferentes.
The rainy window makes you giggle.
La ventana lluviosa te hace reír.
Your proud smile makes another sound.
Tu sonrisa orgullosa produce otro sonido.
My empty jar becomes a flowerpot.
Mi frasco vacío se convierte en una maceta.
Chorus
Your next laugh broke my best invention.
Tu siguiente risa rompió mi mejor invento.
No number fits your sudden joy.
Ningún número encaja con tu alegría repentina.
I leave that lovely sound unclaimed.
Dejo ese hermoso sonido sin reclamar.
