Sé que piensan sin hablar
I know they think without speaking
Que estorbo más que ayudar
That I hinder more than help
Y que soy solo un problema
And that I'm just a problem
Y que por mi forma de ser
And that by my way of being
Solo logro entorpecer
I only manage to complicate
Sus anhelos y sus metas
Their desires and their goals
Soy un conflicto, parece ser el veredicto
I'm a conflict, it seems to be the verdict
Y que a complicar la situaciones soy adicto
And I'm addicted to complicating situations
Una carga que pesa y ese peso hay que sufrir
A burden that weighs and this weight must be endured
No me lo dicen, pero me lo hacen sentir
They don't tell me, but they make me feel it
Soy la mosca en su sopa, soy la polilla en su ropa
I’m the fly in her soup, I’m the moth in her clothes
El viento que nunca le sopla en la popa
The wind that never blows in her stern
Soy la cicatriz que avergüenza y hace esconder sus caras
I’m the scar that embarrasses and makes her hide her face
Soy sus secretos publicados en primera plana, ah-ah
I’m her secrets published on the front page, ah-ah
Y el día que tenga que irme lejos
And the day I have to go far away
Y pase a estar solamente en sueños
And just be in dreams
Podrá servir o no de consuelo
It may or may not serve as comfort
Que al menos seré un problema menos
That at least I’ll be one less problem
Un problema menos, un problema menos
One less problem, one less problem
Soy el obstáculo a salvar
I’m the obstacle to overcome
La excusa que suelen usar
The excuse they often use
Para ocultar sus decepciones
To hide their disappointments
Soy lo que intentan esconder
I am what they try to hide
El espejo en que no quieren ver
The mirror they don't want to see
Todas sus frustraciones
All their frustrations
Puedo olfatearles el miedo ante mis desacatos
I can sniff out their fear in the face of my defiance
Hace rato sé que soy la piedra en sus zapatos
I've known for a while that I'm the stone in their shoes
Y mi alegato parece algo extraño
And my plea seems somewhat strange
Nos hace daño quien nos quiere y no quien quiere hacernos daño
It's those who love us that hurt us, not those who wish to harm us
Ven mis defectos con microscopio
They see my flaws under a microscope
Ven el pelo en ojo ajeno y no el ladrillo en el propio
See the splinter in someone else's eye, but not the brick in your own
Y si les molesta aguantar mi presencia
And if my presence annoys them
Entonces si no brillo yo, brillará mi ausencia, ah-ah
Then if I don't shine, my absence will, ah-ah
Y el día que tenga que irme lejos
And the day I have to go far away
Y pase a estar solamente en sueños
And only exist in dreams
Podrá servir o no de consuelo
It may or may not serve as comfort
Que al menos seré un problema menos
That at least I'll be one problem less
Un problema menos, un problema menos
One problem less, one problem less
Y el día que tenga que irme lejos
And the day I have to go far away
Y pase a estar solamente en sueños
And only exist in dreams
Podrá servir o no de consuelo
It may or may not bring comfort
Que al menos seré un problema menos
At least I'll be one problem less
Un problema menos, un problema menos
One problem less, one problem less
Un problema menos, un problema menos
One problem less, one problem less
Un problema menos, un problema menos
One problem less, one problem less
Un problema menos, un problema menos
One problem less, one problem less
