Es como dormir sin poder soñar.
Es mirar sin poder tocar.
Ir caminando sin avanzar,
como destino a ningún lugar
Es un caldero sin final,
que jamás podré llenar.
Es una pluma y lo demás
Que jamás podré hechizar
De qué sirve estar aquí
Si nada puedo vivir
de qué sirve esta realidad
Si no la puedo gozar
Sí, nací así
Si, nací squib
Es una herida que no puedo sanar
Y no hay magia que me pueda curar
Ver la gente caminar,
Transformar su vida
Ir a hogwarts y agitar
Una varita y a volar
Poder sentir el cambio así
De un mundo que no tiene fin
Criaturas mágicas y más
Que jamás podré mirar
De qué sirve estar aquí
Si nada puedo vivir
de qué sirve esta realidad
Si no la puedo gozar
Por que llegue a un mundo así
Donde no puedo vivir
De qué sirve la magia ya
Si yo no la puedo usar
Sí, nací así
Si, nací squib
No es una elección, solo una condición
Y ni con magia, hay una solución

Born like this
It is like sleeping without being able to dream.
It is looking without being able to touch.
Go walking without advancing,
as a destination to nowhere
It is a cauldron without end,
that I will never fill.
It's a pen and everything else
That I will never be able to spell
What's the reason for being here?
If there’s nothing I can live
What is this reality?
I will never enjoy it
Yes I was born like this,
Yes I was born squib
It's a wound that I can't heal
And there is no magic that can fix me
Watch the people walk,
Transforming their lives.
Going to hogwarts and swish
a wand and fly
To be able to feel the change like this
Of a world that has no end.
Magical creatures and more
that I will never see.
What's the use of being here?
if nothing of that I can live
What use is this reality?
If I can't enjoy it
Why did I come to a world like this?
where I can't live.
What use is magic now?
If I can't use it
Wes I was born like this,
yes I was born squib
It's not a choice, just a condition
And not even with magic there is a solution.
