Y que el rocío de la lluvia en Seattle
te recuerde a mis mejillas mojadas
I want you to want me ugly,
And that your memory of me
had no imagine of Beauty
Quiero que me quieras fea,
Porque ya muchos años llevo—
en mis hombros y pestañas,
cargando el peso de querer ser bonita
I want you to love me ugly,
Because I’m tired of only being but one thing,
beautiful is too small of a word
for how much I am worth

And that your memory of me

cargando el peso de querer ser bonita
I want you to love me ugly,
Because I’m tired of only being but one thing,
