Quiero Volver Lyrics in English by Dante

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quiero Volver by Dante from Spanish to English.
He perdido la noción del tiempo mientras escribía
I lost track of time while writing
Y me ha nacido un sentimiento dentro que ni yo entendía
And a feeling was born inside me that I didn't even understand
Quería estar tranquilo viviendo mi día a día
I wanted to be calm living my day to day
¿Y por qué saco otra canción cuando no es lo que pretendía?
And why do I release another song when it's not what I intended?
Necesito respirar, alejarme, sentirme libre
I need to breathe, get away, feel free
No escribir por escribir para tratar de redimirme
Not writing for the sake of writing to try to redeem myself
No rendirme, pero si frenar, parar e irme
Don't give up, but brake, stop and go
Donde nadie pueda verme, donde nadie pueda oírme
Where no one can see me, where no one can hear me
Donde nadie me conozca, donde pueda ser yo
Where no one knows me, where I can be me
Donde sepa a ciencia cierta que hallaré paz interior
Where I know for sure that I will find inner peace
Quiero ver cómo amanece, la playa, puestas de sol
I want to see the sunrise, the beach, sunsets
Quiero sentirme ese niño jugando en el mar menor
I want to feel like that child playing in the Mar Menor
Quiero dormirme a las mil, levantarme a las cien
I want to fall asleep at a thousand, get up at a hundred
Si me preguntan '¿Qué tal?' Poder decir que muy bien
If you ask me 'How are you?' Being able to say that very well
Quiero volver a ser lo que hace tiempo no sé ser
I want to go back to being what I don't know how to be for a long time
Quiero olvidar el rencor y recordar el ayer
I want to forget the resentment and remember yesterday
Dejar a un lado lo malo y si estoy cayendo en picado
Put aside the bad and if I'm plummeting
Pensar que ya me ha tocado vivirlo alguna otra vez
To think that I have already had to live it some other time
Y si algo tengo muy claro es que a mí nadie me ha explicado
And if one thing's very clear to me, it's that nobody has explained to me
Cómo aguantar un tejado que nunca ha estado de pie
How to support a roof that has never been standing
Ya no recuerdo qué se siente al escribir sin la presión
I no longer remember what it feels like to write without the pressure
De que el tema que he sacado sea mejor que el anterior
That the topic I brought up is better than the previous one
De que a nadie le ha importado si he tenido depresión
That no one has cared if I have had depression
Y solo quieren temas nuevos sin importar mi opinión
And they only want new topics regardless of my opinion
No recuerdo qué se siente al hacer música tumbado
I don't remember what it feels like to make music lying down
Sin rayarme o preocuparme de si algo no me ha rimado
Without scratching myself or worrying if something hasn't rhymed to me
De fijarme en cada tono por si lo he desafinado
To pay attention to each tone in case I have out-of-tune it
Y que luego alguien me diga, 'Quiero al Dante del pasado'
And then someone tells me, 'I want the Dante of the past'
Yo también quiero volver a atrás, volver a ser un crío
I also want to go back, be a kid again
No pensar en los problemas, volver a meterme en líos
Don't think about problems, get into trouble again
Que las lágrimas que vierto sean de todo lo que río
May the tears I shed be of everything I laugh
Y me levante cada día pensando que el mundo es mío
And I wake up every day thinking that the world is mine
Necesito hacer un viaje que no acabe jamás
I need to take a trip that never ends
Abrazar a las personas que no volví a ver más
Hug the people I never saw again
Recordarme que si andaba ya no habría vuelta a atrás
Remind me that if I walked there would be no turning back
Y que ese sueño de la música se iba a hacer realidad
And that dream of music was going to come true
Desde los 12 soportando las miradas de la gente
Since I was 12, enduring people's gazes
A los 13 ya me hacían sentir que yo era diferente
At 13 they already made me feel that I was different
Con 14 tuve claro que el sentimiento era fuerte
At 14 it was clear to me that the feeling was strong
Y con los 15 ya soñaba con volverme un referente
And at 15 I already dreamed of becoming a reference
16 y no lograba nada, no era suficiente
16 and I didn't achieve anything, it wasn't enough
17 y me decían, 'Busca un trabajo decente'
17 and they told me, 'Look for a decent job'
18 y conseguía un poco, pero de repente
18 and got a little, but suddenly
Machacaban y mermaban todo lo que yo tenía en mente
They crushed and undermined everything I had in mind
Empecé a dar conciertos de verdad con 19
I started giving real concerts when I was 19
Y a los 20 terminaron, me sentía tan impotente
And at 20 they broke up, I felt so helpless
21 y no lograba nada, se derribo el puente
21 and nothing was achieved, the bridge was demolished
Puta música de mierda, ¿por qué eras tan imponente?
Fucking shit music, why were you so imposing?
A los 22 lo hice, grabé un disco a vida o muerte
At 22 I did it, I recorded an album with life or death
23 recién cumplidos y empezaba a sostenerme
I just turned 23 and was beginning to support myself
24 y 25, conseguí desenvolverme
24 and 25, I managed to get by
Y para hacerme con mi sitio sudé sangre hasta romperme
And to take my place I sweated blood until I broke
26 y estaba en mi momento, en escala ascendente
26 and I was in my moment, on an ascending scale
Festivales y conciertos sin parar semanalmente
Non-stop festivals and concerts weekly
27 y ni en pandemia me he planteado detenerme
27 and not even in a pandemic have I considered stopping
Y ahora tengo 28, ¿queda alguien que no lo entiende?
And now I'm 28, is there anyone left who doesn't understand this?
Llevo quince putos años aguantando firmemente
I've been holding on firmly for fifteen fucking years
La de hostias que me han dado por querer seguir de frente
The shit they've given me for wanting to keep going
Todos se han callado, ¿ahora quién es el valiente
Everyone has shut up, now who is the brave one
Que mirándome a la cara siga diciendo que es suerte?
That by looking at my face he continues to say that it's luck?
Después de todo este tiempo ya no pienso dudar
After all this time I no longer plan to doubt
Supe bien cuál es mi sitio, estoy en mi lugar
I knew well what my place is, I am in my place
Y si todo fuese un sueño y despertase siendo un niño
And if it were all a dream and I woke up as a child
Sabría cómo es el destino que me quiero forjar
I would know what the destiny that I want to forge is like
Quiero volver a ser lo
I want to be again
Quiero volver a ser lo
I want to be again
Quiero volver a ser lo que hace tiempo no sé ser
I want to go back to being what I don't know how to be for a long time
Quiero olvidar el rencor y recordar el ayer
I want to forget the resentment and remember yesterday
