When nobody looks at me
Sometimes I get high, spin a thousand times
sometimes I lock up myself behind open doors
sometimes I tell you the reason for this silence
and it's just sometimes I'm yours and sometimes I belong to the wind.
Sometimes to a thread and sometimes to a hundred
and there's sometimes in my life I swear I think:
why is it so hard to feel like I do?
to feel how sorry I am! that it's so hard
Sometimes I look at you and sometimes you allow me to
you lend me your wings, you check up your footprints
and sometimes because of everything eventhough you never fail me
sometimes I'm yours and sometimes nobody's
sometimes I swear I am so sorry
of not giving you my whole life, to give you only those moments
why is it so hard? ...to live is only that...
to live, is only that... why is it so hard?
When nobody looks at me the skin doesn't restrict me
when nobody looks at me
I can be or not to be
when nobody looks at me.
Sometimes I get high, I spin a thousand times
sometimes I lock myself up behind open doors
sometimes I tell you the reason for this silence
and it's just sometimes I'm yours and sometimes I belong to the wind.
I write to you from the centers of my own existence
where the yearning and the infinite essence are born
there are things which are very your own which I don't understand
and there are things so mine but it's just I don't see them
I guess I think I don't have them
I don't understand my life, the verses ignite
the ones which in the dark I can, I'm sorry I don't hit the mark
don't turn on the lights because they are naked,
my soul and my body
When nobody looks at me
I can be or not to be
when nobody looks at me
I look like your skin
when nobody looks at me
I think of her too
when nobody looks at me,
I can be or not to be
when nobody looks at me,
the skin is not a restriction
When nobody looks at me
I can be or not to be
when nobody looks at me
the skin doesn't restrict me
I can be, I can be or not to be
when nobody looks at me.
Sometimes I get high and spin a thousand times
I lock you up in my eyes behind open doors
sometimes I tell you the reason for this silence
and it's just sometimes I'm yours and sometimes...
I belong to the wind
sometimes to the wind
and sometimes to time.
I'm sorry for the verse which reads "I don't understand my life, the verses ignite
the ones which in the dark I can, I'm sorry I don't hit the mark" because I couldn't find an appropriate translation for that expresion, because even in Spanish I don't get what Alejandro meant. I'm personally not a fan of his music or lyrics, so I'm lost referring that part of the song. Maybe it's a very personal expression to him.
And the second observation on this lyrics, is about "centros", that could be the way he actually wrote and sang it, but that's not correct. Just to be loyal to Spanish language, take into account that word hasn't got a plural form. The correct form would be "I write you from the center" not "centers", I translated it that way, because I wanted to respect the author's grammar.
I hope you enjoy the song.
Best wishes, goddbye!!
