ya no estoy Lyrics English Translation by Joaquina
A couple years ago I used to tell myself
that if one day you left
Without you I was nothing
My joy wasn’t welcome
I walked on tiptoes
in case the noise overwhelmed you
The truth is, I miss
the days when I swore
that the ceiling was higher
and I talked to my pillows
When I didn’t believe
that something was missing from me
When I liked being myself
I’m not
filler in the script of your life anymore
I’d rather dance with my shadow in the kitchen
I’m learning to be my own company
I’m not waiting for you to say anything anymore
If you like me simple, I’m well made-up
I talk tougher if you want me quiet
Better alone than in bad company
I sat down on the subway
and a little girl looked at me
she had braids in her hair
and watching her talk reminded me
that it had been a while
since I laughed like her
That girl was me
But I gave my star to someone else
I started doing yoga,
I’m worse than I think
I talk even through my elbows
but I’m not ashamed anymore
I buy myself sunflowers
I fill my own space
I can’t love someone
without loving myself first
I’m not
filler in the script of your life anymore
I’d rather dance with my shadow in the kitchen
I’m learning to be my own company
I’m not waiting for you to say anything anymore
If you like me simple, I’m well made-up
I talk tougher if you want me quiet
Better alone than in bad company
And it’s true,
The tongue is the punishment of the body
I said I would die if you left
But apparently, I’m still alive
And it’s true,
The tongue is the punishment of the body
I said I would die if you left
But apparently, I’m still alive
