La rata dentro del grano

Damien Rice

The Rat Within The Grain

This would not have happened if I hadn't missed my plane
I would've been there when they told you I'm the rat within the grain
Within this big misunderstanding out and being misunderstood
I'm thinkin' someone's trying to fuck with me and set fire to my wood

Well I wouldn't want you to want to be wanted by me
I wouldn't want you to worry you'd be drowned within my sea
I only wanted to be wonderful, and wonderful is true
In truth, I only really wanted to be wanted by you

It's a stupid situation now where everything goes wrong
If you can't tell if I am lying: then you do not belong
In my bed, go rest your head upon the bones of a bigger man
And he will cover you with rockwool and you can close up like a clam

I wouldn't want you to want to be wanted by me
I wouldn't want you to worry you'd be drowned within my sea
I only wanted to be wonderful, and wonderful is true
In truth, I only really wanted to be wanted by you

So go play with your piano and write a mediocre song
About this shell of mediocrity: pretend there's nothing wrong.
I never thought you were a chicken shit:
I never thought of you at all
Until you asked me to be part of it
And now you're showing me a wall

I wouldn't want you to want to be wanted by me
I wouldn't want you to worry you'd be drowned within my sea
I only wanted to be wonderful and wonderful is true
In truth, I only really wanted to be wanted by you

In truth, I only really wanted to be wanted by you

La rata dentro del grano

Esto no habría pasado si no hubiera perdido mi avión
Habría estado allí cuando te dijeron que soy la rata dentro del grano
Dentro de este gran malentendido y siendo malinterpretado
Estoy pensando que alguien está tratando de joderme y prender fuego a mi madera

No querría que quisieras ser querido por mí
No querría que te preocuparas por ahogarte en mi mar
Solo quería ser maravilloso, y lo maravilloso es verdadero
En verdad, solo quería ser querido por ti

Es una situación estúpida ahora donde todo sale mal
Si no puedes decir si estoy mintiendo: entonces no perteneces
A mi cama, descansa tu cabeza sobre los huesos de un hombre más grande
Y él te cubrirá con lana de roca y podrás cerrarte como una almeja

No querría que quisieras ser querido por mí
No querría que te preocuparas por ahogarte en mi mar
Solo quería ser maravilloso, y lo maravilloso es verdadero
En verdad, solo quería ser querido por ti

Así que ve a tocar tu piano y escribe una canción mediocre
Sobre esta cáscara de mediocridad: finge que no hay nada malo.
Nunca pensé que fueras un cobarde:
Nunca pensé en ti en absoluto
Hasta que me pediste ser parte de esto
Y ahora me estás mostrando un muro

No querría que quisieras ser querido por mí
No querría que te preocuparas por ahogarte en mi mar
Solo quería ser maravilloso y lo maravilloso es verdadero
En verdad, solo quería ser querido por ti

En verdad, solo quería ser querido por ti
