Solo quiero mirar a las nubes
Y ya no existe medicina
Y porque he vuelto a enamorarme
De esta nube que es de pegatina.

Las aceras son de barro
Y cuando me llueve en marzo
Se me quedan pegaos los zapatos
Y llego yo a mi casa descalzo.

Nube de pegatina
Farola de serpentina
Marinero de los mares
Con las olas de cartulina.

Si pierdo yo el sufrimiento
Y el alma de ceniciento
Ay que las penas del pensamiento
Ay se me van como vinieron

Nube de pegatina
Farola de serpentina
Marinero de los mares
Con las olas de cartulina.

Cae la noche llenita de estrellas
Es como un chocolate con almendras
Vagan pensamientos en el mar
Yo busco mi camino sin saber adonde irá

Nube de pegatina
Farola de serpentina
Marinero de los mares
Con las olas de cartulina.

Solo quiero mirar a las nubes
Y ya no existe medicina
Y porque he vuelto a enamorarme
De esta nube que es de pegatina.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Delinqüentes's song Nube De Pegatina (Sticker Cloud) convey a sense of escapism and disillusionment with reality. The singer longs to simply look at the clouds and be free of the constraints of everyday life. They remark that there is no medicine that can offer them the same kind of freedom and peace of mind that comes from staring up at the sky. The use of "nube de pegatina" (sticker cloud) is interesting because it implies a certain artificiality or superficiality to their desired escape. The use of this phrase also reinforces the idea that the singer feels trapped (like a sticker) in their current circumstances.

The lyrics go on to describe the singer's surroundings, noting that the sidewalks are made of mud and that when it rains in March, their shoes stick in the mud and they arrive home barefoot. These details give the song a vivid sense of place and suggest that the singer is experiencing this sense of disillusionment in a less privileged part of town. As the song continues, the singer muses that if they could just let go of their pain and emotional baggage, they could be free from their mental suffering. The use of the metaphor of a sailor with waves made of cardboard cutouts suggests that the singer sees their own emotional troubles as inauthentic and insubstantial. Overall, the feeling conveyed by the lyrics is one of yearning for escape and a simpler, more carefree existence.
