Me Dijeron Lyrics in English Alejandro Lerner
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Me Dijeron by Alejandro Lerner from Spanish to English.
Me prestaron una cara
They lent me a face
Y una forma de pensar
And a way of thinking
Me dijeron que no diga
They told me not to speak
Y hasta cómo caminar
And even how to walk
Me enseñaron a que vista
They taught me to dress
Como visten los demás
As everyone else dresses
Y me dieron este número
And they gave me this number
Para mi identidad
For my identity
Me prestaron un espacio
They lent me a space
Para ser original
To be original
Me dejaron ser distinto
They let me be different
Si era igual a los demás
If I was like everyone else
Me dijeron que me compre
They told me to buy
Un método para rezar
A method for praying
Me explicaron que no existe
They explained that doesn't exist
Lo que no puedes probar
What you can't prove
Pero creo que no
But I believe no
No hay nadie que me explique tu amor
There's nobody who explains your love to me
Si hay algo en mí que ya despertó
If there's something in me that already woke up
Y quiere seguir soñando, buscando
And wants to keep dreaming, searching
Pero no, no hay nadie que me explique tu amor
But no, there's nobody who explains your love to me
Si hay algo en mí que ya despertó
If there's something in me that already woke up
Y quiere seguir soñando, buscando
And wants to keep dreaming, searching
Me dijeron que uno duda
They told me one doubts
Cuando empieza a preguntar
When one starts to ask
Me dijeron que uno vale por
They told me one is worth for
Lo que puede mostrar
What one can show
Me explicaron que casarse
They explained that getting married
También es cuestión de edad
Is also a matter of age
Y ahora que te veo desnuda
And now that I see you naked
Las teorías se me van
The theories vanish from me
Y ahora sé que no
And now I know no
No hay nadie que me explique tu amor
There's nobody who explains your love to me
Si hay algo en mí que ya despertó
If there's something in me that already woke up
Y quiere seguir soñando, buscando
And wants to keep dreaming, searching
Pero no, no hay
But no, there isn't
La vida es un regalo de Dios
Life is a gift from God
Hay magia en cada rayo de sol
There's magic in every sunbeam
Y ahora sé también
And now I also know
Que no hay nadie que me explique tu amor
That there's nobody who explains your love to me
Me dijeron que me calle
They told me to shut up
Que ésa no es forma de hablar
That that's not a way to talk
Me explicaron que no es bueno
They explained that it's not good
Comenzar a cuestionar
To start questioning
Que son las reglas del juego
That they are the rules of the game
Aunque no dejen jugar
Even if they don't let you play
Y que si hago los deberes
And that if I do my duties
Me darán la libertad
They'll give me freedom
Pero dije no, no hay nadie que me explique tu amor
But I said no, there's nobody who explains your love to me
Si hay algo en mí que ya despertó
If there's something in me that already woke up
La vida es un regalo de Dios
Life is a gift from God
Hay magia en cada rayo de sol
There's magic in every sunbeam
Y ahora sé que no hay nadie que me explique tu amor
And now I know there's nobody who explains your love to me
