No Te Pareces a Mí

I know you go crazy for books
by important writers,
and you die for the poetry
of Machado and Cervantes.

I know you accidentally forgot
a neatly folded little paper
that I wrote thinking of you
the other night, sleepless.

My dear dawn,
allow me to sing to you
my poem in a quiet voice
that I don't want to wake up...
to wake up...

::Chorus::
Because you don't resemble me,
our love is black and white.
Loving each other, but hating each other.
Trusting and distrusting,
screaming and keeping quiet.

Because you don't resemble me,
but we keep trying.
Hurting each other, healing each other,
ending and starting.

I know what you think about life,
it must be more serious than mine
and my guitar bothers you
next to the edge of your chair.

My dear dawn,
allow me to sing to you
my desperate song
that I don't want to wake up...
to wake up...

::Chorus::
Because you don't resemble me,
our love is black and white.
Loving each other, but hating each other.
Trusting and distrusting,
screaming and keeping quiet.

Because you don't resemble me,
but we keep trying.
Hurting each other, healing each other,
ending and starting.

Because you don't resemble me,
but we keep trying.
Hurting each other, healing each other,
ending and starting.
You don't resemble me...
