Country: Mexico, USA (Arizona)
Listen: YouTube

Translation:

Esta soledad me esta quemando las pestañas,
Llenándome de telarañas
Y me pone a chillar.

This solitude is burning my eyelashes, [*idiom, meaning it keeps her up at night]
Covering me with cobwebs
And it makes me bawl.

¿Qué puedo hacer?
Soportar seguir sufriendo por el sueño que estoy siguiendo.
Yo no sabia que era tan difícil.

What can I do?
Endure continuing to suffer for the dream that I am following.
I did not know it was so difficult.

Chorus:
————————————–
Me encuentro aquí, caminando.
Gracias a dios, soportando.
Claro que sí, caminando,
Con lágrimas derramando.

I find myself here, walking.
Thank God, enduring.
Of course (yes), walking,
With tears spilling over.
————————————–
(x2)

No me tomes a mal;
Disfruto luchar por lo que quiero.
Sea lo que sea, yo lo tengo.
Me parto en tres, en dos, o en ceros.

Do not misunderstand me;
I enjoy fighting for what I want.
Be what it be, I have it.
I split myself in three, in two, or in zeroes.

Ansiedad, mi pulso aumenta por los cielos,
Alguna calma es lo que deseo,
Buscando, pienso y pienso.

Anxiety, my pulse jumps to the heavens,
Some calm is what I desire,
Searching (for it), I think and think.


————————————–
Me encuentro aquí, caminando.
Gracias a dios, soportando.
Claro que sí, caminando,
Con lágrimas derramando.

I find myself here, walking.
Thank God, enduring.
Of course (yes), walking,
With tears spilling over.
————————————–
(x2)

Translation Notes:

Con lágrimas derramando.

With tears spilling over
Crying my eyes out [*alternative]


No me tomes a mal

Do not misunderstand me
Do not take me the wrong way [*alt]


Ansiedad, mi pulso aumenta por los cielos

Anxiety, my pulse jumps to the heavens
Anxiety, my pulse increases to sky levels [*alt]
