Let no one know

Let no one know anything even if you are broken inside because no one is interested in you at all, least of all the pain that gushes from the bottom of your guts.

Nobody should know anything about your secret life, about your silent absence or your death so long announced.

Let no one know anything, because no one knows anything about how much you care and love the truth.

And always silence your cry. May it seem childish like so many. May it drown in the black pillow of the hostile night and be lost in the bloody dawn of each day: another day repeated.

Let no one know of your brother. Of what happened under the dirty sheet that hid his hand. Of the blind mother who saw you sweating as your young body was stolen: when guilt wasn't a sense and feeling wasn't even a sin.

And even if your mother opens her eyes and sees, may she know nothing of the son who changed from living to inanimate. From smiling to self-absorbed, from calm to violent, from normal to weird.

Always strange and suspicious, complicated, the son who was born seeing others with his eyes closed.

The daughter who died being above all a hindrance of bones by ancient and backward hunger.

A daughter who ate among blind men: blind men full of hands.

Let no one hear what you heard too close. So close that your ears burned because no one wants to hear you with personal truth, so sincere and direct.

Because no one will believe the remote dream of the minimal person you were nor will they want to exchange a devoted father for that vermin of the nightmare you lived.

Let no one know anything of why in your blood run devils that destroy and caress your mind.

It is that you cannot tell them of their terrible howls and teeth strung in sores as their sawed knives lick your rusty skin. From your temple flows silent pain to trembling, obfuscated fingers.

How are you going to explain to them that you're scared of people, that you're disgusted by toilets, to shake their hands with you or your arm being held, that you hate a colour or a smell, and can't stand that taste or the touch of your clothes or that secret, sensitive heart fibre of your wounds?

Let no one know anything even if you are broken inside because no one is interested in you at all, least of all the pain that gushes from the bottom of your guts.

Don't let it show - Alan Parsons Project (I Robot)

Si se está haciendo difícil afrontar cada día,

.............................If it's getting harder to face every day,

no lo demuestres, no lo demuestres.

.............................Don't let it show, don't let it show.

Aunque sea duro aceptar lo que dicen,

.............................Though it's getting harder to take what they say,

déjalo pasar, déjalo pasar...

.............................Just let it go, just let it go...

Y si te duele cuando dicen mi nombre

.............................And if it hurts when they mention my name,

dí que no me conoces...

.............................Say you don't know me...

Y si te ayuda cuando dicen que tengo la culpa

.............................And if it helps when they say I'm to blame,

dí que no te pertenezco

.............................Say you don't own me...

Incluso si es la salida más fácil

.............................Even if it's taking the easy way out,

guárdalo dentro de tí.

.............................Keep it inside of you.

No te rindas

.............................Don't give in.

No les digas nada.

.............................Don't tell them anything.

No dejes que,

.............................Don't let it,

No dejes que se sepa.

.............................Don't let it show.

Incluso aunque sepas que es incorrecto decirlo,

.............................Even though you know it's the wrong thing to say,

di que no te importa, di que no te importa.

.............................Say you don't care, say you don't care.

Incluso si quieres creer que hay una solución,

.............................Even if you want to believe there's a way,

No estaré allí... No estaré allí...

.............................I won't be there...I won't be there...

Pero si sonries cuando dicen mi nombre,

.............................But if you smile when they mention my name,

Nunca te conocerán

.............................They'll never know you.

Y si te ries cuando dicen que tengo la culpa,

.............................And if you laugh when they say I'm to blame,

Nunca les pertenecerás

.............................They'll never own you.

Incluso si sientes que no tienes nada que esconder,

.............................Even if you feel you've got nothing to hide,

guardalo dentro de tí.

.............................Keep it inside of you.

No te rindas

.............................Don't give in,

No les digas nada.

.............................Don't tell them anything.

No dejes que,

.............................Don't let it-

no dejes que se sepa.

.............................Don't let it show.
