A song by Luis Barros, from his 2002 album""Canciones para levantar el ánimo".
Accordeon and flute: Elja Steinert
Cruzando el Canal de la Mancha, en su monoplano volaba Blériot;
aurrevoir en Calais le gritaban y welcome in Dover los de la rubia Albión;
pajarito y sí que volaba el alado pierrot de París,
el francés que vivía en las nubes con sus plumas de vaudeville;
salud, che Blériot, je vous aîme y beba ese aire que es todo de usted,
salud por los aventureros que se fueron al cielo y volvieron después.
En su autogiro montado, don Juan de la Cierva enciende el motor;
y se eleva el coloso murciano como un héroe pagano en el cielo español;
pajarito y sí que volaba el señor de polaina y bombín,
con sus hélices de enamorado a la busca de un nuevo confín;
arriba, don Juan de la Cierva, arriba está el cielo que Dios nos robó,
devuélvalo Juan a los hombres, que aquí quedaremos esperándolo.
Leonardo en el Renacimiento,
los hermanos Wright en Kitty Hawk
y Juancito con su barrilete,
al igual que Icaro, quieren llegar al sol.
Pajarito y sí que volamos, con esos locos empujándonos
al abismo de los imposibles, Santa Rita perdónanos;
aleluya, los sueños se cumplen, quién es el imbécil que dijo que no,
atención que los sueños despegan y se van al espacio en un cuatrimotor;
pajarito y volaba,
pajarito y voló.
Letra y música: Luis Barros
And indeed they flew
Over the English Channel flew Blériot;
in Calais they saw him off with an "aurrevoir"
and those in Albion greeted him with a "welcome in Dover";
and indeed he flew, the winged Pierrot from Paris,
the Frenchman who dwelled in the clouds with his vaudeville feathers;
go, go, Blériot, "je vous aime", and breathe all that air 'cause it belongs to you,
long live the adventurers who went up to the skies and then managed to return.
Juan de la Cierva gets on his autogiro and turns on the engine;
and up in the air he goes like a pagan hero in the Spanish skies;
and indeed he flew, the gentleman with his buttoned shoes and bowler hat,
a man with propellers in search of a new horizon;
go, go, Juan de la Cierva, up there is the sky that God took away from us,
bring it back to mankind, Juan, and we'll stay right here waiting for you.
Leonardo in the Renaissance,
the Wright brothers in Kitty Hawk
and little Johnny with his kite,
just like Icharus, they all want to conquer the sun.
And indeed we fly, with all those crazy men behind us,
pushing us on into the abyss of the impossible,
Saint Rita, please forgive us;
hallelujah, dreams do come true, who said they didn't?,
your attention please, dreams are about to take off
and will be flying into the skies on a four-engine airplane;
and indeed they fly,
and indeed they flew.
