i really must stop always being the child
chasing his youth his heart, nose to the wind
i really must cure my tender nostalgia
bury deep my stars beneath the veil of night
i must postpone my spanish chateau
dreams that befuddle like an old wine
i must also give up those sunny states
to become a man
and when that day comes

you will forgive me, you won´t be surprised
when i show my teeth, when i show my bite
then i will be a man
and i will stand tall

i really must share my classes with others
so my youth can pass at last, so i forget
i really must scrape my nails on my heart
that my life hardens with sorrow and pain
i must upset my guardian angels
who soothed me too much
and when that day comes
you won´t be annoyed
if i scratch a bit, if i practice being....so savage!

you will forgive me, you won´t be surprised
when i show my teeth, when i show my bite
then i will be a man
and i will stand tall

and you will be prepared to find before you
someone who´s like you, a wolf among the wolves
then i will be a man
and i will stand tall

and you will be prepared to find before you
someone who´s like you, i´ll be a wolf among the wolves
then i will be a man
and i will stand tall

then i will be a man
and i will stand tall
