Eres Diferente Lyrics in English Ana Gabriel

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Eres Diferente by Ana Gabriel from Spanish to English.
No puedo dormir
I can't sleep
Siento que mi llanto va a escaparse
I feel my tears are going to escape
Pues me he dado cuenta que yo
Because I've realized that I
No soy del tipo que a ti te convence
I'm not the type that convinces you
No puedo creer
I can't believe
Después de ver tu rostro frente al suyo
After seeing your face in front of hers
Ya comprobé la realidad
I've already confirmed the truth
Que no es a mí a quien quieres, lo aseguro
That it's not me you love, I assure you
Tu sonrisa era otra tu mirada también
Your smile was different, your gaze too
Pensé que te estorbaba, quise echar a correr
I thought I was bothering you, I wanted to run away
Te olvidaste por segundos que yo estaba junto a ti
You forgot for seconds that I was next to you
Y al sentir que te observaba tú quisiste fingir
And feeling I was watching you, you wanted to pretend
Creo que debemos terminar
I think we should break up
No quiero retenerte junto a mí
I don't want to keep you next to me
Siento que es mejor para los dos
I feel it's better for us both
Olvidar nuestras promesas, sin dañar el corazón
To forget our promises, without hurting our hearts
Ya lo entendí
I already understood
Porque a mi lado eres diferente
Because by my side you're different
Soy distinta a todo lo demás
I'm different from everything else
Y ahora tú no quieres, te arrepientes
And now you don't want to, you regret it
Es lo mejor
It's for the best
Dejar por siempre todo lo vivido
To leave behind forever all we've lived
Mira que te amo de verdad
Look, I truly love you
Más quiero que te vayas te lo pido
But I want you to leave, I'm asking you
Tu sonrisa era otra tu mirada también
Your smile was different, your gaze too
Pensé que te estorbaba, quise echar a correr
I thought I was bothering you, I wanted to run away
Te olvidaste por segundos que yo estaba junto a ti
You forgot for seconds that I was next to you
Y al sentir que te observaba tú quisiste fingir
And feeling I was watching you, you wanted to pretend
Creo que debemos terminar
I think we should break up
No quiero retenerte junto a mí
I don't want to keep you next to me
Siento que es mejor para los dos
I feel it's better for us both
Olvidar nuestras promesas, sin dañar el corazón
To forget our promises, without hurting our hearts
Tu sonrisa era otra tu mirada también
Your smile was different, your gaze too
Pensé que te estorbaba, quise echar a correr
I thought I was bothering you, I wanted to run away
Te olvidaste por segundos que yo estaba junto a ti
You forgot for seconds that I was next to you
Y al sentir que te observaba tú quisiste fingir
And feeling I was watching you, you wanted to pretend
Tu sonrisa era otra tu mirada también
Your smile was different, your gaze too
Pensé que te estorbaba, quise echar a correr
I thought I was bothering you, I wanted to run away
Te olvidaste por segundos que yo estaba junto a ti
You forgot for seconds that I was next to you
Y al sentir que te observaba tú quisiste fingir
And feeling I was watching you, you wanted to pretend

retenerteto hold you back / to keep you

Retenerte comes from the verb retener, meaning 'to hold back' or 'to retain'. The 'te' suffix makes it 'to hold you back'. It's a word that implies a struggle between desire and letting go.

In this song, the singer uses retenerte to express her painful decision to not hold onto her love, even though it hurts. She sings, "No quiero retenerte junto a mí" (I don't want to hold you back by my side), highlighting her selflessness in letting go of someone who doesn't truly want to be with her.
