Текст и перевод песни Sergio Contreras - El Espejo

El Espejo

"¿Cómo se gana la popularidad
Los demás compañeros de la escuela?", él se pregunta
"¿Cómo puedo llegar a enamorarla
A la chica de mis sueños?", él se pregunta
Si nadie lo mira a él
Nadie habla con él
Todo por no tener un físico diez
Y él que está bien, se hunde
No quiere ni ser él

¿Por qué la gente es tan cruel?
¿Por qué la gente ya no mira ni como se es?
Se va alejando de todo el chico, poco a poco
Se va acomplejando, se va quedando solo
Soledad que no está mal
Pues ella no lo abandonará nunca
Ella no es tan cruel
Como el resto de la sociedad
De la gente

Se mira al espejo y no le gusta lo que ve
Qué le va a hacer, tiene que aprender
A vivir con ese rostro que no le hace realidad
Sus sueños, su libertad
Se mira al espejo y no le gusta lo que ve
Tiene que aprender a vivir con ese rostro
Que no le hace realidad de volar, de enamorar

El chico creció, desarrolló
Y en la discoteca, más de lo mismo
A la hora de los lentos su corazoncito, solo, llora
Le da un vuelco
Él que lo ve, aprende
A no desvanecer, a ser fuerte
En contra de todos y todas se vuelca en su trabajo
La radio, la disco y los cd's

Su físico, su apariencia sigue igual
Pero al ser más conocido cada vez liga más
Me parece mentira el materialismo de la sociedad
Cada vez va a más
Hoy en día el chico es popular
Hoy los de antes sí quieren su amistad
Hoy las de antes si lo quieren besar
Pero hoy pasa de ti, solo quiere cantar

Pero a solas, llora
Pero a solas, llora

Se mira al espejo y no le gusta lo que ve
Qué le va a hacer, tiene que aprender
A vivir con ese rostro que no le hace realidad
Sus sueños, su libertad
Se mira al espejo y no le gusta lo que ve
Tiene que aprender a vivir con ese rostro
Que no le hace realidad de volar, de enamorar

Se mira al espejo y no le gusta lo que ve
Qué le va a hacer, tiene que aprender
A vivir con ese rostro que no le hace realidad
Sus sueños, su libertad
Se mira al espejo y no le gusta lo que ve
Tiene que aprender a vivir con ese rostro
Que no le hace realidad de volar, de enamorar

Esto es un mensaje pa' to'a esa gente
Que me hizo la vida imposible
Pa' to'a esa gente que valora a los demás físicamente
Y no el corazón y no la mente
Mírame, ¿te parece bien?
¿Qué me vas a decir?, ¿te vas a reír?
Ya me da igual, to'o lo que digas
To'o lo que hagas porque por dentro yo soy feliz

The Mirror

"How do you gain popularity
With the other classmates at school?", he asks himself
"How can I make her fall in love with me,
The girl of my dreams?", he wonders
If nobody looks at him
Nobody talks to him
All because he doesn't have a perfect ten physique
And he, who is good, sinks
He doesn't even want to be himself

Why are people so cruel?
Why don't people even look at what you're like anymore?
The boy is gradually distancing himself from everything
He becomes self-conscious, he becomes lonely
Loneliness that isn't bad
Because she will never abandon him
She is not as cruel
As the rest of society
Of the people

He looks in the mirror and doesn't like what he sees
What is he going to do, he has to learn
To live with that face that doesn't make his reality come true
His dreams, his freedom
He looks in the mirror and doesn't like what he sees
He has to learn to live with that face
That doesn't make his reality of flying, of falling in love, come true

The boy grew up, developed
And at the disco, more of the same
During the slow songs, his little heart, alone, cries
It skips a beat
He who sees it, learns
Not to fade away, to be strong
Against everyone, he throws himself into his work
The radio, the disco, and the CDs

His physique, his appearance remains the same
But as he becomes more known, he gets more and more girls
I find it hard to believe the materialism of society
It's getting worse and worse
Today the boy is popular
Today those from before do want his friendship
Today those from before do want to kiss him
But today he ignores you, he just wants to sing

But alone, he cries
But alone, he cries

He looks in the mirror and doesn't like what he sees
What is he going to do, he has to learn
To live with that face that doesn't make his reality come true
His dreams, his freedom
He looks in the mirror and doesn't like what he sees
He has to learn to live with that face
That doesn't make his reality of flying, of falling in love, come true

He looks in the mirror and doesn't like what he sees
What is he going to do, he has to learn
To live with that face that doesn't make his reality come true
His dreams, his freedom
He looks in the mirror and doesn't like what he sees
He has to learn to live with that face
That doesn't make his reality of flying, of falling in love, come true

This is a message to all those people
Who made my life impossible
To all those people who value others physically
And not the heart and not the mind
Look at me, does it seem right to you?
What are you going to say, are you going to laugh?
I don't care anymore, everything you say
Everything you do because inside I am happy
