No me convengo
I don't fit in
Me lo dicen los reflejos de los charcos
The reflections in the puddles tell me
Los cristales que se rompen cuando paso
The glass that shatters when I pass by
Y la foto que me hacen tus dos ojos
And the picture your two eyes make of me
Cuando todo está tan negro que ya ni me puedo ver
When everything is so dark that I can't even see myself
No quiero ser esa persona que no sabe

Que, aunque pueda, se reduce en el intento
That, even if I can, I hold back in the attempt
La costumbre más contraria a la rutina

Que se esparce por los suelos hasta desaparecer
That spreads across the floors until it disappears
No hace falta que me digas

No sé hacerlo bien
I don't know how to do it right
