If you there, who lives

Thinking of not being

Accepted by society,

 

You think you're wrong,

Misleading, because

Wrong is who criticizes you

Or doesn't even try to understand you.

 

If it were you … Ah, for sure.

I would face this great difficulty,

Because I assure you that you are

Afraid of happiness,

But you want to live it so much.

 

 Live, because, however difficult it may be,

 Happiness is on your side.

 We're all the same.

 

 We will not stop being who we are because of the looks.

  

 If you there, who lives

 Thinking of not being

 Accepted by society,

 

 You think you're wrong,

 Misleading, because

 Wrong is who criticizes you

 Or doesn't even try to understand you.

 

 If it were you … Ah, for sure.

 I would face this great difficulty,

 Because I assure you that you are

 Afraid of happiness,

 But you want to live it so much.

 

 Live, because, however difficult it may be,

 Happiness is on your side.

 We're all the same.
