Gente Corriente Lyrics English Translation by Manuel Carrasco
I’m just an ordinary person, coming and going.
I’m like a dog locked inside, wanting to escape.
Sometimes I take pills, I can’t sleep.
I know I’m not good enough for you.
It’s always been hard for me,
the thing you find so easy.
What’s this stuck in my throat?
Cutting through the air like a knife.
I know you feel the same,
we can stop hating each other.
And if I’m gonna fight with my hands tied,
at least let me lose my voice.
Let the rage out and make this song mean something.
If I’m a scared man, cornered with fear,
I shoot back with ice.
It’s not you, it’s just who I am.
It’s not you, it’s just who I am.
They taught us the four times table.
I never understood why they didn’t tell us how to cope.
When it’s our turn to hurt.
It’s always been hard for me,
the thing you find so easy.
What’s this stuck in my throat?
Cut through like a knife.
I know you feel the same.
We can stop hating each other.
If we’re gonna fight with our hands tied,
at least let me lose my voice.
Let the rage out and make this song mean something.
The rage, the screams, I don’t need you again.
Yeah, I still want to understand it.
I know you do too.
I’m just an ordinary person, coming and going.
I’m like a dog locked inside, wanting to escape.
And if I’m gonna fight with my hands tied,
at least let me lose my voice.
Let the rage out and make this song mean something.
