He drives to his office,
He goes there every day,
He sits at his table,
And he doesn't want to stay...

He leaves home every morning,
He comes home every night,
He eats, he works, he sleeps,
He doesn't think it's all right...

He works in an office,
He sits in a chair,
He writes a lot of letters,
And he doesn't want to be there...

He leaves home every morning,
He comes home every night,
He eats, he works, he sleeps,
He doesn't think it's all right...

He comes home every evening,
He doesn't say a word,
He sits near the window,
And he listens... to the birds.

El va en auto a su oficina,
Va allí todos los días,
Se sienta en su escritorio,
Y no desea quedarse...

Sale de su casa todas las mañanas,
Regresa a casa todas las noches,
Come, trabaja, duerme,
No le parece que esto esté bien...

Trabaja en una oficina,
Se sienta en una silla,
Escribe pilas de cartas,
Y no desea estar allí...

Sale de casa todas las mañanas,
Regresa a casa todas las noches,
Come, trabaja, duerme,
No le parece que esto esté bien...

Regresa a casa todas las tardes,
No dice una palabra,
Se sienta cerca de la ventana,
Y escucha cantar... a los pájaros.
