Colors

Colores

I wish I were a fishQuisiera ser un pez
To forget in three secondsPara olvidarme en tres segundos
That everything's going wrongDe que todo va mal

Be an astronautSer un astronauta
To escape from this worldPa' escaparme de este mundo
'Cause I don't care anymorePorque ya me da igual

Even in my streetQue hasta en mi calle
They tell me to shut upMe dicen que me calle
I can't keep a straight face even if I practiceYa no pongo buena cara aunque la ensaye

I'm hungry to devour all your bad wordsTengo hambre de comerme todas tus malas palabras
To hold up a mirror while you talkDe ponerte un espejito mientras hablas

So you can feel just for a momentPa' que sientas solo por un momento
What I've been feeling for 7 yearsLo que 7 años llevo sintiendo

I've had to pay someoneMe han hecho pagar a alguien
To feel like they understand mePa' sentir que me comprenden

I have to sell guitarsTengo que vender guitarras
To eat warm mealsPa' comer caliente
And to keep drinkingY pa' seguir bebiendo

And to forget that only my mom understands meY pa' olvidar que solo mi mamá me entiende
That only my mom understands meQue solo mi mamá me entiende

So don't be surprisedQue luego no te extrañe
If my chest burstsQue mi pecho estalle
And stains everything with colorsY manche todo de colores
Colors that aren't from flowersColores que no son de flores

So don't be surprisedQue luego no te extrañe
If I never shut upQue nunca me calle
'Cause I bear the painPorque aguanto los dolores
As long as they bring me flowersSiempre que me lleven flores

Apparently, I'm doing fineAparentemente yo estoy bien
I always promised to reach 100%Siempre prometí llegar al 100%

With a girl who puts up with everythingCon una chica que me aguanta todo
And pulls the rope to get out of the mudY que tira de la cuerda pa' salir del lodo

And I know I play toughY sé que juego a ser borde
Like it's a sportComo deporte
I have the excuse that I'm from the northTengo la excusa de que soy del norte

I never remember that Galician humorNunca recuerdo que el humor gallego
Usually gets understood later, especially if you're all wastedSuele entenderse luego y más si vas to ciego

No one taught me to swim in this sea of sharksNadie me ha enseñado a nadar en este mar de tiburones
To write without getting my drawers touchedDe escribir sin que me toquen los cajones

Where I keep my heart tucked awayDonde tengo guardadito el corazón
To put it as the beat to this songPa' ponerlo como beat a esta canción

So don't be surprisedQue luego no te extrañe
If my chest burstsQue mi pecho estalle
And stains everything with colorsY manche todo de colores
Colors that aren't from flowersColores que no son de flores

So don't be surprisedQue luego no te extrañe
If I never shut upQue nunca me calle
'Cause I bear the painPorque aguanto los dolores
As long as they bring me flowersSiempre que me lleven flores
