Translation of the song lyrics No Te Pareces a Mí - Ricardo Montaner

No Te Pareces a Mí (original)

S que deliras por los libros
de escritores importantes,
y que mueres por la poesa
de Machado y de Cervantez.
S que olvidaste sin querer
un papelito bien doblado
que escrib pensando en ti la otra noche, desvelado.
Mi querida madrugada,
permteme que te cante
mi poema en voz callada
que no quiero que despierte…
Que se despierte…
: Estribillo:
Porque t no te pareces a mi,
nuestro amor es blanco y negro.
Querindonos, pero odindonos.
Confiando y desconfiando,
gritando y callando.
Porque t no te pareces a mi,
pero seguimos tratando.
Lastimndonos, curndonos,
terminando y comenzando.
S lo que piensas de la vida,
debe ser ms seria que la mia
y te molesta mi guitarra
junto al borde de tu silla.
Mi querida madrugada,
permteme que te cante
mi cancin desesperada
que no quiero que despierte…
Que se despierte…
: Etribillo:
Porque t no te pareces a mi,
nuestro amor es blanco y negro.
Querindonos, pero odindonos.
Confiando y desconfiando,
gritando y callando.
Porque t no te pareces a mi,
pero seguimos tratando.
Lastimndonos, curndonos,
terminando y comenzando.
Porque t no te pareces a mi,
pero seguimos tratando.
Lastimndonos, curndonos,
terminando y comenzando.
No te pareces a mi…

(translation)

I know you rave about books
of important writers,
and that you die for poetry
of Machado and Cervantez.
I know you inadvertently forgot
a neatly folded piece of paper
that I wrote thinking of you the other night, awake.
my dear morning,
let me sing to you
my poem in a quiet voice
I don't want him to wake up...
Wake up...
: Chorus:
Because you don't look like me
our love is black and white
Loving us, but hating us.
Trusting and distrusting,
screaming and hushing.
Because you don't look like me
but we keep trying.
Hurting us, healing us,
ending and beginning.
Just what you think about life,
must be more serious than mine
and my guitar bothers you
next to the edge of your chair.
my dear morning,
let me sing to you
my desperate song
I don't want him to wake up...
Wake up...
: Refrain:
Because you don't look like me
our love is black and white
Loving us, but hating us.
Trusting and distrusting,
screaming and hushing.
Because you don't look like me
but we keep trying.
Hurting us, healing us,
ending and beginning.
Because you don't look like me
but we keep trying.
Hurting us, healing us,
ending and beginning.
You don't look like me...
