reialesa

[a les vegades que, des dels disset anys, aquesta cançó m'ha fet somriure]

When I was seventeen I dreamed of being king
and having everything I wanted.
But that was long ago and
My dreams did not unfold, so
I'm still the king of nothing.

When I was seventeen I dreamed I gave a ring
to a pretty queen and then I held her.
But that was slumber's fault for
I have no love at all and
I'm still the king of nothing.

If I could rule, I'd dance my cares away,
Find romance every day.
I wouldn't have to listen to this poor fool say:
I'm the king,
I'm the king,
I'm the king of nothing!
