How good it must be

Have everyone at your feet

And receive without corresponding

Without ever spending the other way around

How good it must be

Wake up without the ghost

Of your hair tied my pillow

And forget how you do

I would like to be like you

That nothing hurts me like you

And not feel like that

Hurt

Short -minded

Without thinking about anyone but you

I would like to be like

Like you

You

I would like to be cold, empty chest

Or that someone transplant your heart with mine

Let's see if so I finally manage to sleep peacefully

And for once with him

Have nightmares you with me

And it is to put in my place

Teach me to forget

That it is not normal how well you are given

I would like to be like you

That nothing hurts me like you

And not feel like that

Hurt

Short -minded

Without thinking about anyone but you

I would like to be like you

To give me the same

The idea of losing

And maybe our story would be different

You would love me more

And I will miss you less

Although I swear I try

I'm sorry but I can't be like you

I can't be like you

It hurts me and yes it matters to me

Every day and every hour

That I do not think of anyone but you

I can't be like you

You

You, you, you, you

Lagos open this one with a jealous, sarcastic sigh: "Que bien debe ser" (How nice it must be). The singer is talking to an ex who seems to have walked away untouched, someone who can "tener a todo el mundo a tus pies" (have the whole world at your feet) and "recibir sin corresponder" (receive without giving back). Meanwhile he still wakes up with "el fantasma de tu pelo atado" (the ghost of your tied-up hair) on his pillow, which is a very specific and very sad little image.

The chorus, "Yo quisiera ser como tú" (I wish I could be like you), is bitter rather than admiring. He wants to "herir como si nada importa" (hurt as if nothing matters) and "amar con la memoria corta" (love with a short memory). The second verse gets darker and a bit funny: he would like someone to "transplante tu corazón con el mío" (transplant your heart with mine) just so that, for once, "tengas pesadillas tú conmigo" (you have nightmares about me). By the end he gives up the act: "Yo lo siento pero no puedo ser como tú" (I'm sorry, but I can't be like you), because "a mí sí me duele y sí me importa" (it does hurt me and it does matter to me).

Learner tip: "Pa'" is the spoken short form of para, and "lo bien que se te da" means "how good you are at it", a handy everyday phrase.
