Translation of the song lyrics Macarena y el espejo - Jorge Drexler

Macarena y el espejo (original)

Ella se pinta con un sylvapen
Dibujándose, dibujándose
Boca postiza, rojo de clavel
Enchastrándose, preguntando
Si queda bien así
Femenina
Ignorándome, ignorándome
Macarena, Macarena
Macarena quiere ser mujer
Ella se mira en su delantal
Contorneándose, contorneándose
Frente al espejo no sabe esperar
Aprendiéndose, aprendiendo
El código sutil
Milenario
Sorprendiéndome, sorprendiéndola
(Una mano en la cintura
La mirada en el espejo
Ella sueña la cadencia
Que le vendrá desde lejos)
Macarena, Macarena
Macarena quiere ser mujer
Todos se miran perdidos
Se ríen, se mojan la ropa en el mar

Macarena y el espejo (translation)

She paints herself with a sylvapen
drawing, drawing
False mouth, carnation red
messing around, wondering
If it looks good like this
female
ignoring me, ignoring me
Macarena, Macarena
Macarena wants to be a woman
She looks at herself in her apron
shimmying, shimmying
In front of the mirror she doesn't know how to wait
learning, learning
the subtle code
Millennial
surprising me, surprising her
(One hand on the waist
The look in the mirror
She dreams the cadence
That she will come to him from afar)
Macarena, Macarena
Macarena wants to be a woman
They all look lost
They laugh, they wet their clothes in the sea
