Simple by Katy Perry
Lyrics & Translation
English
You're such a poet
I wish I could be Wesley Willis
My words would flow like honey, sweet and laid on thick
You're so edgy
You don't even need a rhyming dictionary
I wipe my hands on your jeans, 'cause they are more distressed
So they say you got O.C.D.
And they claim you can barely read
But you say, "Don't bother me with all of your reality."
But it could be so simple (You're overthinking)
Life should be that simple (Who would have thought it?)
I wish it were just so simple (You're overthinking)
But the point's been missed
You've made a mess
Who would have guessed
That it's as simple as it seems?
(Uh-oh, uh-oh, mm-mm-mm)
So what, you're a genius?
But you've got a lot to learn
Like the time you lost your apartment
'Cause you bought too much Vuitton
You park (Park) in a loading zone
You sleep (Sleep) with the lights all on
You cross your i's and dot your t's
All it goes to show
That it could be so simple (You're overthinking)
Life should be that simple (Who would have thought it?)
I wish it were just that simple (You're overthinking)
The point's been missed
We've made a mess
Who would have guessed
That it's as simple as it seems?
I'm not saying that it's a piece of cake
Just take a moment to evaluate
The possibilities
The situations
The opportunities
That are waiting
Oh, the possibilities
Oh, I
It could, it could be that simple (You're overthinking)
Life should be that simple (Who would have thought it?)
I wish it were just so simple (You're overthinking)
The point's been missed
We've made a mess
Who would have guessed
That it's as simple as it seems?
We could talk all day
About your eccentricities
What I mean to say
Oh-oh, is that I need you listen, please
And focus on, on life's simplicities
So don't be afraid to strip it away
'Cause at the end of the day
It's still as simple as it seems
It is all so simple
Just deal with it

Simple (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Eres todo un poeta
Ojalá pudiera ser Wesley Willis
Mis palabras fluirían como miel, dulces y espesas
Eres tan atrevido
Ni siquiera necesitas un diccionario de rimas
Me limpio las manos en tus jeans, porque están más desgastados
Así que dicen que tienes T.O.C.
Y afirman que apenas puedes leer
Pero tú dices: "No me molestes con toda tu realidad."
Pero podría ser tan simple (Estás pensando demasiado)
La vida debería ser así de simple (¿Quién lo hubiera pensado?)
Ojalá fuera así de simple (Estás pensando demasiado)
Pero el punto se ha perdido
Has hecho un desastre
¿Quién lo hubiera adivinado?
¿Que es tan simple como parece?
(Uh-oh, uh-oh, mm-mm-mm)
¿Y qué, eres un genio?
Pero tienes mucho que aprender
Como la vez que perdiste tu apartamento
Porque compraste demasiado Vuitton
Te estacionas (Estacionas) en una zona de carga
Duermes (Duermes) con todas las luces encendidas
Pones los puntos en tus íes y cruzas tus tes
Todo esto demuestra
Que podría ser tan simple (Estás pensando demasiado)
La vida debería ser así de simple (¿Quién lo hubiera pensado?)
Ojalá fuera así de simple (Estás pensando demasiado)
El punto se ha perdido
Hemos hecho un desastre
¿Quién lo hubiera adivinado?
¿Que es tan simple como parece?
No estoy diciendo que sea pan comido
Solo tómate un momento para evaluar
Las posibilidades
Las situaciones
Las oportunidades
Que están esperando
Oh, las posibilidades
Oh, yo
Podría, podría ser así de simple (Estás pensando demasiado)
La vida debería ser así de simple (¿Quién lo hubiera pensado?)
Ojalá fuera así de simple (Estás pensando demasiado)
El punto se ha perdido
Hemos hecho un desastre
¿Quién lo hubiera adivinado?
¿Que es tan simple como parece?
Podríamos hablar todo el día
Sobre tus excentricidades
Lo que quiero decir
Oh-oh, es que necesito que escuches, por favor
Y te enfoques en, en las simplicidades de la vida
Así que no tengas miedo de despojarte de ello
Porque al final del día
Sigue siendo tan simple como parece
Todo es tan simple
Solo lidia con ello
