Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics

Don't tell me to stopNo me digas que me detenga

Tell the rain not to drop,Dile a la lluvia que no caiga,

Tell the wind not to blowDile al viento que no sople

Cause you said so;Porque tú lo dijiste;

Tell me love isn't trueDime que el amor no es real

It's just something we do,Solo es algo que hacemos,

Tell me everything I'm notDime todo lo que no soy

But don't tell me to stopPero no me digas que me detenga

Tell the sun not to shineDile al sol que no brille

Not to get up this time,Que no se levante esta vez,

Let it fall by the way,Déjalo caer por el camino,

Leave me where I lay;Déjame donde yago;

Tell the leaves not to turnDile a las hojas que no se vuelvan

But don't tell me I'll learn,Pero no me digas que aprenderé,

Take the black off a crowQuita el negro de un cuervo

But don't tell me to goPero no me digas que me vaya

Tell the bed not to layDile a la cama que no se acueste

Like the mouth of a grave,Como la boca de una tumba,

Not to stare up at meQue no me mire fijamente

Like a calf on its knees;Como un ternero de rodillas;

Tell me love isn't trueDime que el amor no es real

It's just something we do,Solo es algo que hacemos,

Tell me everything I'm notDime todo lo que no soy

But don't tell me to stopPero no me digas que me detenga
