I'm Not Me, I'm You

No Soy Yo, Sos Vos

I so admire the elegance with which you walkAdmiro tanto tu elegancia al andar
The way you express yourself in front of othersLo bien que frente a los demás te expresás
The words you choose when you speakEsas palabras que empleás al hablar
And the breadth of your general knowledgeLo que sabés de cultura general

Your charm and the way you reactTu simpatía y modo de reaccionar
That look in your eyes, such self-assuranceEsa mirada, tanta seguridad
Your hairstyle, your spectacular physiquePeinado y físico espectacular
Your habits, your social statusTus costumbres, tu estatus social
You're just brilliantVos sos genial

How interesting and pleasant you areLo interesante y agradable que sos
Your clothes, your seductive styleTus ropas y tu estilo tan seductor
Everyone always pays close attention to youTodos te prestan siempre mucha atención
I'd love to be just like youMe gustaría mucho ser como vos

I have no interest in hearing about your fearsNo me interesa saber sobre tus miedos
Your pain, or moments when boredom sets inSobre tus dolores, si pintó aburrimiento
Nor your failures or unpleasant memoriesNi de tus fracasos o tus recuerdos feos
I only want the good stuffSolo lo bueno quiero

It's not me, it's you, it's not me, it's youNo soy yo, soy vos, no soy yo, soy vos
It's not me, it's you, I'm always switching roles, never just myselfNo soy yo, soy vos, siempre cambio el rol, nunca soy yo
I want what happens to you to happen to meYo quiero que a mí me pase lo que a vos
It's not me, it's you, it's not me, it's you, I'm no longer myselfNo soy yo, soy vos, no soy yo, soy vos, yo ya no soy yo

One moment I'm playing the part of a great writerDe pronto juego a ser un gran escritor
The next, a rowdy sports fan or a doctorY al rato un barrabrava o un doctor
If there's a conflict, I become a lawyerSi hay un conflicto, un abogado yo soy
And today, I choose to be youY elijo hoy ser vos

It's not me, it's you, it's not me, it's youNo soy yo, soy vos, no soy yo, soy vos
It's not me, it's you–I'm always switching roles, never just myselfNo soy yo, soy vos, siempre cambio el rol, nunca soy yo
I want what happens to you to happen to meYo quiero que a mí me pase lo que a vos
It's not me, it's you, it's not me, it's you, I'm no longer myselfNo soy yo, soy vos, no soy yo, soy vos, yo ya no soy yo

What's most frightening is the thought of being left with no oneLo que más miedo da es quedarme sin nadie
Coming face-to-face with solitudeCara a cara con la soledad
In truth, I wish I could be like the seaY en realidad quisiera ser como es el mar
Simply being what it is, without trying to be anything elseQue es lo que es sin intentar ser más
With so many people pretending to be someone elseCon tanta gente pretendiendo ser otro
Everyone ends up distrusting one anotherDesconfíen los unos de los otros

It's not me, it's you, it's not me, it's youNo soy yo, soy vos, no soy yo, soy vos
It's not me, it's you, I'm always switching roles, never just myselfNo soy yo, soy vos, siempre cambio el rol, nunca soy yo
I want what happens to you to happen to meYo quiero que a mí me pase lo que a vos
It's not me, it's you, it's not me, it's you, I'm not myselfNo soy yo, soy vos, no soy yo, soy vos, yo no soy yo

(I wish I could be myself)(Quisiera ser yo)
It's not me, it's, it's you, not me, it's youNo soy yo, soy vos, no soy yo, soy vos
(But you're better)(Pero vos sos mejor)
It's not me, it's you, I'm always switching roles, I'm never myselfNo soy yo, soy vos, siempre cambio el rol, nunca soy yo
(I wish I were me)(Quisiera ser yo)
I want what happens to you to happen to meYo quiero que a mí me pase lo que a vos
(But you're better)(Pero vos sos mejor)
It's not me, it's you, it's not me, it's you, I'm no longer myselfNo soy yo, soy vos, no soy yo, soy vos, yo ya no soy yo

(I wish I were me) you are you, and I am you(Quisiera ser yo) vos sos vos, yo soy vos
(But you're better) and I'm not here to meet your expectations(Pero vos sos mejor) y no estoy para cumplir tus expectativas
(I wish I were me) you are you, and I am you(Quisiera ser yo) vos sos vos, yo soy vos
(But you're better) you're here to meet mine(Pero vos sos mejor) vos estás para cumplir las mías

(But you're better) pretending to be someone else(Pero vos sos mejor) pretendiendo ser otro
Let everyone be suspicious of one anotherDesconfíen los unos de los otros
