Translation of the song lyrics Tú Como Yo - Jose Luis Perales

Tú Como Yo (original)

Tú como yo has buscado desde niño ser feliz
has tenido que llorar
y también que decidir
y luchar
por vivir.
Tú
como yo has tenido algún secreto que guardar
y a una chica a quien decir
mira no te aguanto más
nunca más
nunca más.
Pero cuanto darías por volver
a vivir ese tiempo una vez más
a fabricar aviones de papel
o a esperar a tu novia en un portal.
Pero cuanto darías por volver
a jugar con tu perro una vez más
a mirar de reojo aquel pastel
que se burlo de ti tras el cristal.
Tu como yo has tenido muchas veces que mentir
has burlado al profesor
y has tenido que decir
si señor, si señor.

Tú Como Yo (translation)

You, like me, have sought to be happy since you were a child
you had to cry
and also to decide
and fight
to live.
You
like me you have had some secret to keep
and a girl to tell
Look I can't stand you anymore
never more
never more.
But how much would you give to come back
to live that time once more
to make paper airplanes
or to wait for your girlfriend in a portal.
But how much would you give to come back
to play with your dog one more time
to look askance at that cake
who mocked you behind the glass.
You, like me, have had many times to lie
you have outsmarted the teacher
and you had to say
yes sir, yes sir.
