Danay Suárez "Yo Aprendí"

I learned that most of the time
things aren't what they seem

That we are a species
that specializes in lying

To build a future with lies
Count how many times

We make what we don't want to lose
disappear with just one phrase

Life passes us by
We leave the train with love running

Which only passes by once
I learned to not make fun of anyone

With arrogance because I don't know
What my circumstances will be

And elegance is just a thing of ego
The clothes I look best in

Are those of my soul
I learned that karma is a good counselor

When it comes to making important decisions
That I'm not the most clever,

But with an opportunist
I must be fierce

And I know that one makes mistakes
Like a normal human being

That values not only the pardon of another
But also to forgive himself

That one cannot tread on words,
tread on morals

That love isn't enough
When there is no respect

It's like plowing through the sea

I'm not better than anyone,
Nobody is better than me

Even though I don't understand people
that want to appear like

The people that are cloned
and lose their own voice

They don't know where to walk
Once they finally get up

I learned that wanting to know
everything of what they think of me

That is my threat
It is like opening the door to envy

Telling her, "How are you, miss?
Come in and be at home."

Things happen, but mistakes weigh you down
and drag you along, then later they smother you

Like chains on your soul
I know what it's like

To miss a brother when he isn't there
I know that sometimes

He who suffers the most is the one
who loves you the most

I know that there will be another dawn
where I don't even have a pillow

Now I understand that life is beautiful
But it is no fairy tale

I know that one can make mistakes
Like a normal human being

That not only values the pardon of another
But also to forgive himself

That one cannot tread on words,
tread on morals

That love isn't enough
When there is no respect

It's like plowing through the sea

(Its like plowing through the sea...)

(It's like plowing through the sea...)
