You Don't Know Me

No me conoces

You Don't Know Me

No me conoces, dijoYou don't know me, he said
y golpeó su cabeza de panderetaand tapped his tambourine head
Estoy tan solo,I am so lonely,
pensaste que podrías tragarmeyou thought you could swallow me
Y luego, a salvo dentro de ti, quizás construiría un hogarAnd then safe inside of you, perhaps I'd build a home
como Geppetto atrapado, talló un nido de hueso de ballenalike Geppetto trapped, carved a nest out of whale bone

No me conoces,You don't know me,
dijo a la estrella fugazhe said to the shooting star
Lo único peor que desmayarseThe only thing worse than blacking out
es despertar justo donde estásis waking up just where you are
No pertenezco a nadie, no pertenezco a nadaI don't belong to anyone, I don't belong to anything
Pongo mi aliento en mi canción, mantengo mi muerte delante de míI put my breath into my song, keep my death in front of me

Perdóname si puedesForgive me if you can
por extender una mano fantasmafor reaching out with a phantom hand
Soy una botella rota detrás del estadioI am a broken bottle behind the stadium
lejos del maíz y el trigo,far from the corn and wheat,
lejos de los árboles que se mecenfar from the swaying trees
Sé que el viento debe hacer lo que quiera con todo lo que cree ser libreI know the wind must have its way with anything that thinks it's free

No me conoces,You don't know me,
dijo a la puerta oscilantehe said to the swinging door
Solías parecerte a Montgomery Clift, recordó al espejoYou used to look like Montgomery Clift, he reminded the mirror
Sé cómo te enfermaste tanto,I know how you got so sick,
hipotetizó el espejo,the mirror hypothesized,
pero él ya le había dado la espalda y luego rodó los ojosbut he'd already turned his back and then he rolled his eyes
