Below, I translated the lyrics of the song No Son Manera by Alex Cuba from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
Llegamos a ganarle al precipicio
We arrived to beat the precipice
Hicimos de un final otro principio
We made from an end another beginning
Nos complacimos cada tontería
We pleased ourselves with every nonsense
Y pareciera que ya se te olvida
And it seemed that you already forget
Nos dimos al amor en cada esquina
We gave ourselves to love on every corner
Llegamos a borrar cada mentira
We arrived to erase every lie
Sacamos del silencio mil palabras
We took out of silence a thousand words
Y así como de algún abracadabra, te fuiste sin decir nada
And just like from some abracadabra, you left without saying anything
Chorus 1
Esas no son manera'
Those are not ways
Esas no son manera'
Those are not ways
Esas no son manera' de decir adiós
Those are not ways to say goodbye
Esas no son manera'
Those are not ways
Esas no son manera'
Those are not ways
Esas no son manera' de decir adiós
Those are not ways to say goodbye
Verse 2
Supimos encontrar cada salida
We knew how to find every exit
Lloramos juntos cada despedida
We cried together every goodbye
Nos dimos de la mano en cada paso
We held hands on every step
Y hoy me parece una fantasía, lo que contigo tenía
And today it seems to me a fantasy, what I had with you
Chorus 2
Esas no son manera'
Those are not ways
Esas no son manera'
Those are not ways
Esas no son manera' de decir adiós
Those are not ways to say goodbye
Esas no son manera'
Those are not ways
Esas no son manera'
Those are not ways
Esas no son manera' de decir adiós
Those are not ways to say goodbye
Bridge
Llevo semanas sin dormir
I've been weeks without sleeping
Soy una piedra en el colchón
I'm a stone on the mattress
No puedo deshacerme de esta historia, de esta situación
I can't get rid of this story, of this situation
Al menos acabemos bien
At least let's end well
Sin tanto peso que cargar
Without so much weight to carry
Debemos por lo menos despedirnos con sinceridad
We should at least say goodbye with sincerity
Con sinceridad
With sincerity
Chorus 3
Esas no son manera'
Those are not ways
Esas no son manera' no
Those are not ways no
Esas no son manera'
Those are not ways
Esas no son manera'
Those are not ways
Esas no son manera'
Those are not ways
Esas no son manera'
Those are not ways
Esas no son manera'
Those are not ways
Esas no son manera'
Those are not ways
Esas no son manera'
Those are not ways
