Desobedecerme Lyrics in English by Vanesa Martín
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Desobedecerme by Vanesa Martín from Spanish to English.
La primavera se apuntó a la última ronda
Spring joined the last round
En ese tiempo solo andaba para mí
In that time, I only went for myself
Salía lento, de unas sábanas vencidas
I left slowly, from some worn-out sheets
De las luces y las sombras de mi vida
From the lights and shadows of my life
Billete de ida hacía un invierno consentido
One-way ticket towards a spoiled winter
Tengo grabado todo lo que se de ti
I have everything I know about you etched
Algunas noches me escape a dormir contigo
Some nights I escaped to sleep with you
Tú bien sabes lo que vivo, yo también
You know well what I live, me too
Te he visto aquí
I've seen you here
Busque mil formas diferentes
I looked for a thousand different ways
Mil formas y otras de olvidarte
A thousand ways and others to forget you
Pero ninguna me encontré
But I found none
No supe desobedecerme
I didn't know how to disobey myself
Busque mil formas diferentes
I looked for a thousand different ways
En todas te puse delante
In all of them, I put you first
Pero ninguna descansé
But I found no rest
No supe desobedecerme
I didn't know how to disobey myself
No supe desobedecerme
I didn't know how to disobey myself
Nunca el pecado resultó tan excitante
Never did sin turn out so exciting
La vida nunca se detiene ante tus pies
Life never stops at your feet
El equilibrio que una vez eche de menos
The balance I once missed
Me espera en un tablero de ajedrez
Waits for me on a chessboard
Busque mil formas diferentes
I looked for a thousand different ways
Mil formas y otras de olvidarte
A thousand ways and others to forget you
Pero ninguna me encontré
But I found none
No supe desobedecerme
I didn't know how to disobey myself
Busque mil formas diferentes
I looked for a thousand different ways
En todas te puse delante
In all of them, I put you first
Pero ninguna descansé
But I found no rest
No supe desobedecerme
I didn't know how to disobey myself
No supe desobedecerme
I didn't know how to disobey myself
Busque mil formas diferentes
I looked for a thousand different ways
Mil formas y otras de olvidarte
A thousand ways and others to forget you
Pero ninguna te encontré
But I found you in none
No supe desobedecerme
I didn't know how to disobey myself
Mil formas de olvidarte
A thousand ways to forget you
Mil formas y nunca encontré
A thousand ways and I never found
No supe desobedecerme
I didn't know how to disobey myself
No supe desobedecerme
I didn't know how to disobey myself
No supe desobedecerme
I didn't know how to disobey myself
Desobedecerme
To disobey myself
Desobedecerme
To disobey myself
Did you like this lyrics translation?
desobedecerme — disobey myself
Desobedecerme is a fascinating and somewhat unusual word that literally translates to "disobey myself." It's a reflexive verb that implies a struggle with one's own will or desires.
In the context of the song, the singer repeatedly states, "No supe desobedecerme" (I didn't know how to disobey myself) when trying to forget someone. This suggests an internal conflict where her own heart or mind refused to let go, making it impossible to move on despite her efforts. It's a powerful and relatable expression of being unable to control one's own feelings.
