Translation of the song lyrics El Espejo - Ramón Ayala

El Espejo (original)

Rodeada de amigas te enontrabas
la tarde que frente a ti pasaba
con tristesa oi que te desian
que baja esta callendo tu mirada
yo se que mi cariño has despreciado
mil hombres te ofrecen sus riquesas
yo solo un corazon casi postrero
porque yo estoy hundido en la pobreza
las nubes por el cielo van llorando
las aves van cantando mi tristeza
solo tu de mi ya ni te acuerdas
porque yo estoy hundido en la pobreza
solo tu de mi ya no te acuerdas porque yo estoy hundido en la pobreza
ya casi ni recuerdo quien me dijo
cuidado no vayas a humillarte
tal vez fueron palabras de mi madre
palabras de un cariño que no podria engañarme
collares de perlas te habran dado
dinero y amor segun parece
yo espero que el espejo te defraude
al fin que la pobreza no embejese
las nubes por el cielo van llorando
las aves van cantando mi tristeza
solo tu de mi ya ni te acuerdas
porque yo estoy hundido en la pobreza
solo tu de mi ya no te acuerdas porque yo estoy hundido en la pobreza

El Espejo (translation)

Surrounded by friends you found yourself
the afternoon that passed in front of you
with sadness I heard that they wished you
that your gaze is falling
I know that my love you have despised
a thousand men offer you their riches
I just an almost last heart
because I am sunk in poverty
the clouds across the sky are crying
the birds are singing my sadness
only you don't even remember me
because I am sunk in poverty
only you don't remember me anymore because I'm sunk in poverty
I hardly even remember who told me
be careful not to humiliate yourself
maybe they were my mother's words
words of a love that could not deceive me
pearl necklaces they would have given you
money and love it seems
I hope the mirror lets you down
at last that poverty does not take over
the clouds across the sky are crying
the birds are singing my sadness
only you don't even remember me
because I am sunk in poverty
only you don't remember me anymore because I'm sunk in poverty
