Hard to tell, a friend that you've fallen in loveDifícil de decir, a un amigo que te has enamorado

watching her sing on the bow of a boatviéndola cantar en la proa de un barco

Hard to move, the muscles to open your mouthDifícil de mover, los músculos para abrir la boca

To admit to what she's been afraid ofPara admitir lo que ella ha temido

I'm sorry, I know I'm only ordinary, I'm not a starLo siento, sé que soy solo ordinario, no soy una estrella

I apologize, I know this is an unpleasant surpriseMe disculpo, sé que esto es una desagradable sorpresa

You need a starNecesitas una estrella

Can they tell when nobody says a sound¿Pueden decirlo cuando nadie dice una palabra

When I'm lying, when I'm shakingCuando estoy mintiendo, cuando estoy temblando

Right besideJusto al lado

A prophet who made up his mindUn profeta que tomó una decisión

To keep quietDe mantenerse callado

Stay silentPermanecer en silencio

I'm sorry, I know I'm only ordinary, I'm not a starLo siento, sé que soy solo ordinario, no soy una estrella

I apologize, I know this is an unpleasant surpriseMe disculpo, sé que esto es una desagradable sorpresa

You need a starNecesitas una estrella
