Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hay Que Estar En Mi Lugar by Pimpinela from Spanish to English.
Estamos andando mal y no es la primera vez
We are going wrong and it's not the first time
Con él ya no se vivir, tampoco vivir sin él
I can't live with him anymore, nor can I live without him
Es tan difícil luchar con su manera de ser
It's so difficult to fight against his way of being
Ni ella me entiende a mí, ni yo la puedo entender
She doesn't understand me, and I can't understand her either
Si hay amores que matan y hay cariños que duelen
If there are loves that kill and affections that hurt
Yo quisiera saber por qué uno los busca
I would like to know why we seek them
Los sigue y los quiere
We follow them and want them
Si hay amores que matan, sentimientos que hieren
If there are loves that kill, feelings that wound
Me pregunto por qué no se pueden dejar
I wonder why we can't let them go
Y si te dejan te mueres
And if they leave you, you die
No tengo con quien hablar, me siento tan lejos de él
I have no one to talk to, I feel so far away from him
No sabe cuando estoy mal, tampoco cuando estoy bien
He doesn't know when I'm feeling bad, nor when I'm feeling good
Igual que un carnaval en donde nadie es quien es
Just like a carnival where no one is who they are
Vivimos con un disfraz que nos ayuda a seguir de pie
We live with a disguise that helps us keep going
Si hay amores que matan y hay cariños que duelen
If there are loves that kill and affections that hurt
Yo quisiera saber por qué uno los busca
I would like to know why we seek them
Los sigue y los quiere
We follow them and want them
Si hay amores que matan, sentimientos que hieren
If there are loves that kill, feelings that wound
Me pregunto por qué no se pueden dejar
I wonder why we can't let them go
Y si te dejan te mueres
And if they leave you, you die
