Like Water and Oil

Como El Água y Aceite

How difficult it is to believeQué difícil es creer
When the sun risesCuando sale el Sol
With every morningCon cada mañana
Everything goes outQué todo se apaga

But how beautiful it isPero que bonito es
Knowing that I can still understandEl saber que aún puedo comprender
What have I come for?A qué he venido
Because I'm still alivePorque sigo vivo
Although I don't know what I amAunque no sé que soy

How difficult it isQué difícil es
Accepting that I am afraid of everythingAceptar que tengo miedo a todo
How difficult it isQué difícil es
Recognize it in its form and modeReconocerlo en su forma y modo
How difficult it isQué difícil es
Try to be yourselfIntentar ser uno mismo
When you are in the abyssCuando estás en el abismo
Knowing that you are everythingDe saber que eres el todo
And nothingnessY la nada

If we call the Moon MoonSi a la Luna la llamamos Luna
And to death, deathY a la muerte muerte
How can it be?Cómo puede ser
That when I look in the mirrorQue al mirarme en el espejo
I don't know who he isNo sepa quién es
That one who looks at me and doesn't know that his thought is onlyEse que me mira y no sabe que su pensamiento solo es
A mixture of barriers that hide their beingUna mezcla de barreras que ocultan su ser

Like water and oilComo el agua y el aceite

And time is running outY el tiempo se agota
The hours are dropsLas horas son gotas
That fall into a glassQue caen en un vaso
That is the pace that is goingQue ha el paso que va
They sow my infinitySiembran mi infinito
Of frost and graniteDe escarcha y granito
In my lonelinessEn mi soledad

How difficult it isQué difícil es
Accepting that I am afraid of everythingAceptar que tengo miedo a todo
How difficult it isQué difícil es
Recognize it in its form and modeReconocerlo en su forma y modo
How difficult it isQué difícil es
Try to be yourselfIntentar ser uno mismo
When you are in the abyssCuando estás en el abismo
Knowing that you are everythingDe saber que eres el todo
And nothingnessY la nada

If we call the Moon MoonSi a la Luna la llamamos Luna
And to death, deathY a la muerte muerte
How can it be?Cómo puede ser
That when I look in the mirrorQue al mirarme en el espejo
I don't know who he isNo sepa quién es
That one who looks at me and doesn't know that his thought is onlyEse que me mira y no sabe que su pensamiento solo es
A mixture of barriers that hide their beingUna mezcla de barreras que ocultan su ser

Like water and oilComo el agua y el aceite

That the world is upside downQue el mundo está al reves
No problemNo pasa nada
That you feel lonelyQue sientes soledad
No problemNo pasa nada
What are you afraid of being?Que tienes miedo a ser
No problemNo pasa nada
That you suffer without reasonQue sufres sin porqué
No problemNo pasa nada
That you don't want to lookQue no quieres mirar
No problemNo pasa nada
That will never happen, and nothing happensQue nunca pasará, ni pasa nada

In this crazy worldEn este Mundo de locos
Where we are not fewDonde no somos pocos
Those of us who think we don't belong to itLos que pensamos que no pertenecemos a él
And we are here to recover some subjectY que estamos aquí para recuperar alguna asignatura
That we left pendingQue se nos quedó pendiente
I'm afraid it's love that's pendingMe temo que es el amor esa cosa pendiente

Well, as I feel itPues según lo voy sintiendo
The further thought moves away from the law of matterMás se aleja el pensamiento de la ley de la materia
Turning my life into something etherealConvirtiendo en algo etéreo mi vivir
And finally forgettingY olvidando al fin
My personal war to existMi guerra personal por existir
I feel that my stepsVoy sintiendo que mis pasos
They were never entirely mineNunca fueron míos del todo

And perhaps, maybe, the path was markedY quizás, tal vez, el camino estuviera marcado
And although clumsy, I was alwaysY aunque torpe, siempre fui
To see without interestPara ver sin intereses
Unbecoming of a singer-songwriter whose home is his songImpropios de un cantautor cuya casa es su canción
And he sells it without any duplicityY la vende sin dobleces
What a beautiful teacher life isQué lindo maestro es la vida
That repeats the exam until you finally pass itQue te repite el examen, hasta que por fin lo apruebes

And without it is not in this lifeY sin no es en esta vida
We will do it in the next oneLo haremos en la siguiente
I will be one more student, foreverYo ser un alumno más, eternamente
Now that I know where love is coolAhora que sé donde el amor mola
In the present, in the nowEn el presente, en el ahora
