Mean by Taylor Swift
Lyrics & Translation
English
You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
You, picking on the weaker man
Well, you can take me down
With just one single blow
But you don't know what you don't know
Someday, I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
You have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down, trying to block you out
'Cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now
'Cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know what you don't know
Someday, I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion
But nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all you are is mean
All you are is mean
And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
But someday, I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Someday, I'll be living in a big old city
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

Mean (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Tú, con tus palabras como cuchillos
Y espadas y armas que usas contra mí
Me has derribado de nuevo
Me haces sentir como si no fuera nada
Tú, con tu voz como uñas en una pizarra
Señalándome cuando estoy herida
Tú, metiéndote con el más débil
Bueno, puedes derribarme
Con un solo golpe
Pero no sabes lo que no sabes
Algún día, viviré en una gran ciudad vieja
Y todo lo que serás es cruel
Algún día, seré lo suficientemente grande para que no puedas golpearme
Y todo lo que serás es cruel
¿Por qué tienes que ser tan cruel?
Tú, con tus cambios de bando
Y tus mentiras incendiarias y tu humillación
Has señalado mis defectos de nuevo
Como si ya no los viera
Camino con la cabeza baja, intentando ignorarte
Porque nunca te impresionaré
Solo quiero sentirme bien de nuevo
Apuesto a que te empujaron
Alguien te hizo frío
Pero el ciclo termina ahora mismo
Porque no puedes llevarme por ese camino
Y no sabes lo que no sabes
Algún día, viviré en una gran ciudad vieja
Y todo lo que serás es cruel
Algún día, seré lo suficientemente grande para que no puedas golpearme
Y todo lo que serás es cruel
¿Por qué tienes que ser tan cruel?
Y te veo dentro de años en un bar
Hablando durante un partido de fútbol
Con esa misma gran y ruidosa opinión
Pero nadie escucha
Acabado y despotricando sobre las mismas viejas cosas amargas
Borracho y quejándose de que no sé cantar
Pero todo lo que eres es cruel
Todo lo que eres es cruel
Y un mentiroso, y patético, y solo en la vida
Y cruel, y cruel, y cruel, y cruel
Pero algún día, viviré en una gran ciudad vieja
Y todo lo que serás es cruel, sí
Algún día, seré lo suficientemente grande para que no puedas golpearme
Y todo lo que serás es cruel
¿Por qué tienes que ser tan cruel?
Algún día, viviré en una gran ciudad vieja
(¿Por qué tienes que ser tan cruel?)
Y todo lo que serás es cruel
(¿Por qué tienes que ser tan cruel?)
Algún día, seré lo suficientemente grande para que no puedas golpearme
(¿Por qué tienes que ser tan cruel?)
Y todo lo que serás es cruel
¿Por qué tienes que ser tan cruel?
