Como Una Flor

Like a Flower

Como Una Flor

Locked in the wrong bodyEncerrado en un cuerpo equivocado
With a thousand wounds on the handsCon mil llagas en las manos
Struggling to liveLuchando por vivir
Inside the hurricane that hits himDentro del huracán que le atropella
That suffocates and traps himQue le asfixia y que le atrapa
That made him suffer so muchQue tanto le hizo sufrir
What mattered in the endLo importante era al fin
Was his way of feelingSu manera de sentir

Hope played tricks on himLa esperanza le jugó malas pasadas
Returning in revengeDevolviéndola en revancha
The affection he gaveEl afecto que entregaba
And still the hurricane tormented himY aún el huracán le atormentaba
Those dreams he longed forEsos sueños que anhelaba
To feel like a flowerSentir como una flor
Where there is no condemnationDone no existe condena
If it's about him or herSi se trata de él o ella

The wind goes, combing youEl viento va, peinándote
I know it's possible that it hides its loveSé que es posible que esconda su amor
Under a corner, without showing itselfBajo un rincón, sin dejarse ver
If for a kiss you put your lifeSi por un beso poner la vida
What does your gender matterQue importa tu sexo
If you put your soul in every gesture of love you gaveSi pones el alma en cada gesto de amor que te dabas

Like a flower feels painComo una flor siente dolor
When tearing its heartAl deshojarle el corazón
You feel the thorn that breaks your crySientes la espina que rompe tu llanto
If for a kiss you put your lifeSi por un beso pones la vida
What does your gender matterQue importa tu sexo
If you put your soulSi pones el alma

And today as you look back at your pastY hoy que vuelves la mirada a tu pasado
And perhaps excitedly wonder whyY quizás emocionado te preguntas el por qué
Was all the effort worth it?¿Valió la pena acaso tanto esfuerzo?
Enduring stormsSoportando tempestades
To feel like a flowerPor sentir como una flor
Where there is no condemnationDonde no existe condena
If it's about him or herSi se trata de él o ella

And you understand that life is backY comprendes que la vida está de vuelta
And you smile more strongly contemplating this timeY sonríes con más fuerza contemplando esta vez
That instead of a hurricane, there is only hurryQue en vez de un huracán, ya solo hay prisa
Combing your hair doesn't matterPeinarte no se fija
If it's about her or himSi se trata de ella o él
And now there is no condemnationY ahora no existe condena
And in the end it was worth itY al final valió la pena

The wind is combing youEl viento va peinándote
I know it's possible that it hides its loveSé que es posible que esconda su amor
Under a corner without showing itselfBajo un rincón sin dejarse ver
If for a kiss you put your lifeSi por un beso pones la vida
What does your gender matterQue importa tu sexo
If you put your soul in every gesture of love you gaveSi pones el alma en cada gesto de amor que le dabas

Like a flower you feel painComo una flor sientes dolor
When tearing your heartAl deshojarse el corazón
You feel the thorn that breaks your crySientes la espina que rompe tu llanto
If for a kiss you put your lifeSi por un beso pones la vida
What does your gender matterQue importa tu sexo
If you put your soul in every gesture of love you gaveSi pones el alma en cada gesto de amor que le dabas
