Diferentes Lyrics in English Rocio Durcal

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Diferentes by Rocio Durcal from Spanish to English.
That you live alone, sad and distressed
That you're terribly in love
Today I heard about you
The most horrible things that happen to you
That you cry night after night and that you don't sleep
And that you think only about seeing me
Today I heard about you
The most horrible things that happen to you
Well I never gave you reasons to be like that
There's a misunderstanding, it's not right
No, it's not fair and it's not normal
That you cry over me
I don't want
To be like a shadow
In your whole life
That for knowing you, in your chest
I've made a wound
For God's sake calm down
I love you with my soul
But only as friends
Understand it very well
Why don't you understand me once and for all
That I never, you know it well
Gave you reasons?
Why don't you understand me
That you and I can only be friends?
If we're different in feeling
If we're different in thinking
If we're different in living
In love
If we're different in feeling
If we're different in thinking
If we're different in living
In love
Cry no more
Cry no more, you over me
Cry no more

SONG MEANING

“Diferentes” is a heartfelt conversation set to music. Rocío Dúrcal sings to a friend who has fallen head-over-heels for her, but she gently explains that his sleepless nights and tears are built on a misunderstanding. She cares for him deeply as a friend and never meant to cause pain. With compassionate honesty, she urges him to “vuelve a la calma” (calm down) and reminds him that they can only be friends because they feel, think, and love in different ways.

Instead of a dramatic breakup song, this bolero-style ballad is more like a tender pep talk. Rocío lists the ways their worlds don’t align—“somos diferentes de sentir, de pensar, de vivir enamorados”—and reassures him that friendship can still be beautiful. The melody wraps her message in warmth, turning what could be a harsh rejection into a gentle lesson on accepting unrequited love and valuing true friendship.
