Translation of the song lyrics El Espejo - Saratoga

El Espejo (original)

Por quѓ© siempre igual,
contando mil historias de tal y de cual.
No, no, no puedes parar,
es siempre el mismo perro, con distinto collar.
Y es que antes de hacer nada
das cien vueltas,
y ves pasar la vida
sin darte cuenta.
Quѓ© extraѓ±o es pensar asѓ­,
hoy por quien se tercie y maѓ±ana por mѓ­.
Sѓ­, sѓ­, deberѓ­as correr,
el tiempo se te escapa, y nunca mѓЎs va a volver.
Y es que antes de hacer nada
das cien vueltas,
y ves pasar la vida
sin darte cuenta.
Delante de ti tienes el espejo.
Tѓє te preguntas
‚їlo tomo o lo dejo?
Hay un futuro
pero estѓЎ demasiado lejos,
sabrѓЎs el secreto
cuando seas viejo.
Las pilas se te acaban,
pierdes el aliento
y todas tus palabras
se las lleva el viento.
Deberѓ­as negarte,
yo no lo harѓ© por ti.
Delante de ti tienes el espejo.
Tѓє te preguntas
‚їlo tomo o lo dejo?
Hay un futuro…

(translation)

Why always the same,
telling a thousand stories of such and such.
No, no, you can't stop
he is always the same dog, with a different collar.
And it is that before doing anything
you do a hundred laps,
and you see life go by
without realizing it.
How strange it is to think like that,
Today for whoever intervenes and tomorrow for me.
Yes, yes, you should run
time escapes you, and it will never come back.
And it is that before doing anything
you do a hundred laps,
and you see life go by
without realizing it.
In front of you you have the mirror.
you wonder
‚Should I take it or leave it?
there is a future
but it's too far,
you will know the secret
when you're old
Your batteries run out
you lose your breath
and all your words
the wind takes them away.
you should refuse,
I won't do it for you.
In front of you you have the mirror.
you wonder
‚Should I take it or leave it?
There is a future...
