Me Dijeron

They Told Me

Me Dijeron

They lent me a face and a way to thinkMe prestaron una cara y una forma de pensar
They told me not to speak and even how to walkMe dijeron que no diga y hasta como caminar
They taught me to dress like everyone else doesMe enseñaron a que vista como visten los demás
And they gave me this number for my identityY me dieron este número para mi identidad

They lent me a space to be originalMe prestaron un espacio para ser original
They let me be different if I was like everyone elseMe dejaron ser distinto si era igual a los demás
They asked me to buy a method to prayMe pidieron que me compre un método para rezar
They explained that what you can't prove doesn't existMe explicaron que no existe lo que no puedes probar

But I don't think soPero creo que no
No one can explain your love to meNo hay nadie que me explique tu amor
If there's something in me that has already awakenedSi hay algo en mi que ya despertó
And wants to keep dreaming, searchingY quiere seguir soñando, buscando

I said noDije no
No one can explain your love to meNo hay nadie que me explique tu amor
If there's something in me that has already awakenedSi hay algo en mi que ya despertó
And wants to keep dreaming, searchingY quiere seguir soñando, buscando

They told me that you doubt when you start to askMe dijeron que uno duda cuando empieza a preguntar
They explained that you’re worth what you can showMe explicaron que uno vale por lo que puede mostrar
They taught me that getting married is also a matter of ageMe enseñaron que casarse también es cuestión de edad
And now that I see you naked, all the theories fade awayY ahora que te veo desnuda las teorias se me van

But I don't think soPero creo que no
No one can explain your love to meNo hay nadie que me explique tu amor
If there's something in me that has already awakenedSi hay algo en mi que ya despertó
And wants to keep dreaming, searchingY quiere seguir soñando, buscando

I said noDije no
No one can explain your love to meNo hay nadie que me explique tu amor
If there's something in me that has already awakenedSi hay algo en mi que ya despertó
And wants to keep dreaming, searchingY quiere seguir soñando, buscando

Life is a gift from GodLa vida es un regalo de Dios
There's magic in every ray of sunHay magia en cada rayo de Sol
And now I also knowY ahora sé también
That no one can explain your love to meQue no hay nadie que me explique tu amor

They told me to shut up, that’s not how to talkMe dijeron que me calle, que esa no es forma de hablar
They explained that it’s not good to start questioningMe explicaron que no es bueno comenzar a cuestionar
That these are the rules of the game even if they don’t let you playQue son las reglas del juego aunque no dejen jugar
And that if I do my homework, they’ll give me freedomY que si hago los deberes me darán la libertad
