Ella y Él

Her and Him

Ella y Él

HerElla
And the pressure of choosing a seatY la presión de elegir asiento
On the bus to the new schoolEn el bus del nuevo colegio
Judging looks on your bodyMiradas que juzgan tu cuerpo
The fear of breaking the silenceEl miedo a romper el silencio
Her eyes, her curls, her hairSus ojos, sus rizos, su pelo
Her clothes, her walk or her weightSu ropa su andar o su peso
Loaded with so many complexesCargada de tantos complejos
And suddenly himY de repente él
Points to an empty seat beside himSeñala a su lado un hueco
And she takes a seatY ella toma asiento

HimÉl
Wasn't a 10, nor a 0No era un 10, tampoco un 0
Used to be in the middleAcostumbraba a estar en medio
Tall on the outside and small on the insideAlto por fuera y pequeño por dentro
His fine eyes, his simplicity, his skin and honey charismaSus ojos finos, su sencillez, su piel y carisma de miel
Dressed in blackVestía de negro
Band shirts spinning in his stereo walkmanCamisas de bandas que daban vueltas en su walkman estéreo
And after several momentsY tras varios momentos
He offers her the right earphoneLe ofrece el auricular derecho
Gathers the courage and thinksReúne el valor y piensa
Listen to a bit of thisEscucha un poco de esto

Stop beingDejar de ser
Two strangers, and look at meDos extraños, y mírame
I want to introduceQuiero presentarte
My desire to get to know youMis ganas por conocerte
And let them know about yoursY que sepan de las tuyas
To see me againPor volver a verme

HeÉl
From a middle-class familyDe familia de clase media
With everything she dreamed ofCon todo lo que soñaba ella
Sundays dining out, and everyone knew aboutDomingos de cenar fuera, y todos sabían de
HerElla
Unlike himAl contrario de él
Her home in ruins, shared bedsSu hogar en ruinas, camas compartidas
Her and her 4 siblingsElla y sus 4 hermanos
Under a stepfather given to drink, dictatorBajo un padrastro dado a la bebida, dictador
Mom doesn't stop him, doesn't see him as a mistakeMamá no le frena, no lo ve un error
Her and her story remain voicelessElla y su historia se quedan sin voz
In her mind it works betterEn su mente funciona mejor
She disconnects and her song playsDesconecta y suena su canción

And unintentionally (unintentionally)Y sin querer (sin querer)
We're on our way to stop beingVamos camino a dejar de ser
Two strangers and look at meDos extraños y mírame
I want to introduceQuiero presentarte
My desire to get to know youMis ganas por conocerte
And let them know about yours for beingY que sepan de las tuyas por estar
Together!¡Juntos!

They hated WednesdaysOdiaban los miércoles
Her and him couldn't stand each otherElla y él no se podían ver
His long practicesEntrenos largos de él
Her seat empty until the next dawnSu asiento vacío hasta el amanecer siguiente
HeÉl
Smiled at her with his eyesLe sonreía con los ojos
With his mouth only halfwayCon la boca solo a medias
And he began to realizeY él empezaba a darse cuenta
That it was because ofDe que aquello era por
HerElla
She tried to readIntentaba leer
Over his shoulderPor encima del hombro de él
His X-Men comicSu comic de los X-Men
And a drop fell on Charles Xavier's panelY una gota calló en la viñeta de Charles Xavier

UnintentionallySin querer
Everything started to twistTodo empezó a torcer
Let me tell you whyDéjame, contarte por qué
She doesn't know how to look in the faceElla no sabe mirar a la cara
Her fear of feeling like she doesn't fit winsLe vence su miedo a sentir que no encaja
She hides her history of wars at homeOculta su historia de guerras en casa
And he doesn't understand anythingY él no entiende nada

But he's into punk, she's into John LennonPero él es de punk, ella es de John Lennon
He took the first step, she forgot her fearÉl dio el primer paso, ella olvidó su miedo
He shakes her hand for the first timeLe estrecha la mano por primera vez
And looks at her with eyes of everything will be fineY le mira con ojos de todo va a ir bien

He was into comicsÉl era de cómics
And sheY ella
LearnedAprendió
To beA serlo

One WednesdayUn miércoles
In his seat, he saidEn su asiento, dijo él
Look at me, today I want to see you againMírame, hoy quiero volverte a ver
Today I dareHoy me atrevo
To tell you with wordsA decirte con palabras
I don't know what I feelNo sé lo que siento
But I know I miss youPero sé que te echo de menos
