Merlí Lyrics in English Miss Caffeina

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Merlí by Miss Caffeina from Spanish to English.
Stupid, you, how're you going to be unique?
The shop windows of this city scream
They roar hysterical from their cages
If you step aside a millimeter
Stupid, you, how're you going to be unique?
I know what you write when you lock yourself in your room
Besides, I've caught you looking at me
If you're ready
Let me know
And with no instructions
The questions grow by the millions
And what do we do?
Merlí, what do we do?
Live, live, live, kid!
I have wasted time
Looking in others
For what doesn't let me be
Free
I have looked for excuses
So that I wouldn't look at
What's in here
I see that I'm not the only one
That doesn't want to let
His words die on his lips
It sounds peripathetic
But sincerity is a boomerang
When the truths
Strip our fragilities
What do we do?
Come on, Merlí, what do we do?
Laugh, laugh, laugh, kid!
I have wasted time
Looking in others
For what doesn't let me be
Free
I have looked for excuses
So that I wouldn't look at
What's in here
If it makes any sense it might be
To find the difference
Between passing by
And leaving a mark
I have wasted time
Looking in others
For what doesn't let me be
Free
I have looked for excuses
So that I wouldn't look at
What's in here
What's in here

Merlí is Miss Caffeina's energetic pep-talk to anyone who has ever felt crushed by the loud billboards and judgmental voices of the city. In the verses, shopfronts scream 'Stupid, how can you be unique?' and society roars from its cages, daring the listener to step even a millimeter off the path. The singer admits he hides in his room and spies on others, but then turns to an unlikely guide: Merlí, the rebellious, life-affirming philosophy teacher from Catalan pop culture.

Each time he asks 'Què fem?' (What do we do?), Merlí replies with three simple commands: live, laugh, be free. The chorus reveals the song's heart: real freedom starts when we stop chasing approval, drop our excuses, and face what is inside us. Honesty can feel risky, like a boomerang that exposes our fragilities, yet it is the only way to move from merely passing through life to actually leaving a footprint. With pounding drums and soaring vocals, Merlí urges you to silence the outside noise, own your weirdness, and choose authenticity over fear.
