Spanglish

I am difficult to understand

In English

In Spanish.

 

No se como escribir.

but I try.

 

I talk funny

Pero intento.

 

Hay muchas cosas que nunca van a poder entender

And maybe it's because I am terrible at pronouncing.

 

There are so many things people will never understand

Y a lo mejor es por que nunca aprendi como hablar formalmente.

 

Soy terrible pronunciando las palabras

And maybe it is because I never learned to speak formally.

 

My mom says I never speak in one language

Siempre hablo en dos lenguajes.

 

Mi ama dice que nunca puedo hablar en solo un idioma

I mix things up or forget words, so I just replace them.

 

Mezclo las palabras o se me olvidan, entonces las reemplazo

I always speak in two languages.

 

soy una mezcla de los que me vieron crecer, y de el lugar en cual yo creci.

 

I am a mix of those who saw me grow up, and the setting in which I grew up.

 

una guerra entre lo que soy y lo que quieren que sea.

Always a war inbetween who I am and who they want me to be.

pero nunca satisfaciendo a los dos.

 

but never satisfying both.
