Prisionero Lyrics English Translation by Quique Niza
I made a mistake, kept it to myself
But I’ve reached this point
I’m still standing, this journey is not over yet
What I didn’t try, what I kept
It’s still within me
It screams at me to come out, and I know it’s not too late
How do I win this war within myself?
Because every time I’ve fought, I’ve lost
I know
I’m not what I want, still a prisoner
But today I know what I don’t want
Because what I feel comes first
Even if I want to, I don’t understand the silence
If I keep quiet, it burns inside me
I know it’s okay to turn back
To get lost every now and then
And it’s not visible, but there’s still noise inside
And I have stopped listening to myself
How do I win this war within myself?
Because every time I’ve fought, I’ve lost
I know
I’m not what I want, still a prisoner
But today I know what I don’t want
Because what I feel comes first
Even if I want to, I don’t understand the silence
If I keep quiet, it burns inside me
I won’t wait for a sign anymore
Because now it’s my turn to shout
What I kept silent for so long
I know
I’m not what I want, still a prisoner
But today I know what I don’t want
Because what I feel comes first
Even if I want to, I don’t understand the silence (that burns inside)
If I keep quiet, it burns inside me
