I Know Better by John Legend
Lyrics & Translation
English
They say sing what you know
But I've sung what they want
Some folks do what they're told
But baby this time I won't
When I look through that door
I know the truth from lie
Some things I've done before I can't justify
There are kings in my past
Things no one can be proud of
But I stand in the light I've cast
And turn away from any lack of love
Oh, when I walked through that door
I say here I go
You see me and nothing more
I'm singing what I know
I know better
I know better
Legend is just a name
I know better than to be so proud
I won't drink in all this fame
Or take more love than I'm allowed
I won't hide or cut it off from where it came
My history has brought me to this place
This power and the color of my face
And I know better
Oh, I know better
Oh, I'll rise from the floor if I don't win
I'll bust open that door so let me in
And if music chooses me to sing I let her
I'll sing what I know, yes
I know better, oh
I know better, yes
I know better
I know better

Dicen que cantes lo que sabes
Pero he cantado lo que ellos quieren
Algunas personas hacen lo que se les dice
Pero, cariño, esta vez no lo haré
Cuando miro a través de esa puerta
Sé la verdad de la mentira
Algunas cosas que he hecho antes no puedo justificar
Hay reyes en mi pasado
Cosas de las que nadie puede estar orgulloso
Pero me paro en la luz que he proyectado
Y me alejo de cualquier falta de amor
Oh, cuando crucé esa puerta
Digo, aquí voy
Me ves a mí y nada más
Estoy cantando lo que sé
Lo sé mejor
Lo sé mejor
Legend es solo un nombre
Sé que no debo ser tan orgulloso
No me embriagaré con toda esta fama
Ni tomaré más amor del que me está permitido
No me esconderé ni lo cortaré de donde vino
Mi historia me ha traído a este lugar
Este poder y el color de mi cara
Y lo sé mejor
Oh, lo sé mejor
Oh, me levantaré del suelo si no gano
Abriré esa puerta de golpe, así que déjame entrar
Y si la música me elige para cantar, la dejo
Cantaré lo que sé, sí
Lo sé mejor, oh
Lo sé mejor, sí
Lo sé mejor
Lo sé mejor
