Ojalá

Hopefully

Ojalá

I need motivation, not wanting to winYo necesito ganas, no querer ganar
And if one day I lost my fear of losingY si algún día perdiese mi miedo a perder
It hurts to have run to not arriveMe duele haber corrido para no llegar
Now I know that the journey is also the goalAhora sé que el camino es la meta también

I've grown fears that I never educatedYa me crecieron miedos que nunca eduqué
And I know the answers for not askingY me sé las respuestas por no preguntar
I felt like no one when I had the goodYa sentí como nadie cuando tuve el bien
And I cried like everyone when something goes awayY lloré como todos cuando algo se va

No one teaches you to be strong but they force youNadie te enseña a ser fuerte pero te obligan
No one ever wanted a weak person to trustNunca nadie quiso un débil para confiar
No one teaches you the steps in a worldNadie te enseña los pasos en un mundo
That forces you every day to be able to get up and walkQue te obliga cada día a poder levantarte y caminar

Where you were so happy you will always returnDonde fuiste tan feliz siempre regresarás
Even if you confuse pain with happinessAunque confundas dolor con la felicidad
And you are no longer yourself, but you think of yourselfY ya no seas ni tú mismo, pero pienses en ti mismo
And that will killY eso matará

And hopefully they never hug you for the last timeY ojalá nunca te abracen por última vez
There are so many to be with, but not to beHay tantos con quien estar, pero no quien ser
We are just paths that tend to twistTan solo somos caminos que suelen torcer
Thousands of loose complexes that we must overcomeMiles de complejos sueltos que debemos de vencer

Hopefully if they accepted you for the first timeOjalá si te aceptasen por primera vez
And understood that we all deserve goodY entendiesen que es que todos merecemos bien
That there is no person who should not haveQue no existe una persona que no deba de tener
Since we are circumstances that we never chose to beYa que somos circunstancias que nunca elegimos ser

Trust never returned with timeConfianza nunca volvió con el tiempo
And the fruit of my life is not based on what I haveY el fruto de mi vida no se basa en lo que tengo
And if all moments could pass more slowlyY si todos los instantes pudiesen pasar más lentos
If you would doubt this time in the attemptSi acaso dudarías esta vez en el intento

And if we understood that we are perfectY si entendiésemos que sí somos perfectos
Despite smudges that want to stain the canvasA pesar de borrones que quieran manchar el lienzo
Everything is a sum, although the rest doesn't think soTodo es una suma, aunque eso no lo piense el resto
One thing is what I am and another is just what I showUna cosa es lo que soy y otra tan solo lo que muestro

That I no longer fear losing, but giving upQue yo ya no temo perder, sino dar por perdido
That I no longer want to win, but to be convincedQue yo ya no quiero vencer, sino estar convencido
That long before being happy I must be with myselfQue mucho antes de estar contento debo estar conmigo
That I'm going to look at the rope to say: I continueQue voy a mirar a la soga pa’ decirle: Sigo

That I'm going to stop demanding everything I ask of myselfQue voy a parar de exigirme to' lo que me pido
And I'm going to learn to accept what I never achieveY voy a aprender a aceptar lo que nunca consigo
That I'm going to stop blaming myself, lying to myself, failing myselfQue voy a parar de culparme, mentirme, fallarme
Tell myself late truths that I needDecirme tarde verdades que necesito

Because I also dedicated timePorque también dediqué tiempo
To someone who doesn't even remember meA quien ya no se acuerda ni de mí
I also picked up the piecesTambién pegué los trozos
Of the same thing I later brokeDe lo mismo que después partí
I haven't understood myselfTampoco me he entendido
And I understand that it will be like thatY he entendido que eso será así
I haven't been confusedNo he estado confundido
I've been fused with the worst of meHe estado fundido con lo peor de mí

I've moved to problemsMe mudado a problemas
And I wanted to be happy thereY he querido ser feliz allí
And I've gone in circlesY he dado vueltas en círculos
For not removing you from the middlePor no quitarte del medio a ti
I've asked everyoneHe preguntado a todos
To be able to define myselfPara poder definirme a mí
How to tell a river¿Cómo decirle a un río
To stop and stop flowing?Que se pare y deje de fluir?

No one teaches you to be strong but they force youNadie te enseña a ser fuerte, pero te obligan
No one ever wanted a weak person to trustNunca nadie quiso un débil para confiar
No one teaches you the steps in a worldNadie te enseña los pasos en un mundo
That forces you every day to be able to get up and walkQue te obliga cada día a poder levantarte y caminar

Where you were so happy you will always returnDonde fuiste tan feliz siempre regresarás
Even if you confuse pain with happinessAunque confundas dolor con la felicidad
And you are no longer yourself, but you think of yourselfY ya no seas ni tú mismo, pero pienses en ti mismo
And that will killY eso matará

And hopefully they never hug you for the last timeY ojalá nunca te abracen por última vez
There are so many to be with, but not to beHay tantos con quien estar, pero no quien ser
We are just paths that tend to twistTan solo somos caminos que suelen torcer
Thousands of loose complexes that we must overcomeMiles de complejos sueltos que debemos de vencer

Hopefully if they accepted you for the first timeOjalá si te aceptasen por primera vez
And understood that we all deserve goodY entendiesen que es que todos merecemos bien
That there is no person who should not haveQue no existe una persona que no deba de tener
Since we are circumstances that we never chose to beYa que somos circunstancias que nunca elegimos ser
