El Espejo
Los Villacorta Orquesta Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lastima, demasiado bonito
para ser verdad,
lastima, que las cosas asi siempre acaben mal.
Lastima, que las cosas prohibidas
no puedan durar, oh no!!!
aunque quisiera,
que parara el mundo,
no se detendra...

Lastima, que aunque yo quiera,
nunca volveras,
porque se,
que sale perdedor el que ama mas,
y aunque tu me llevabas ventaja
con algunos años de mas oh no!!!
nunca te sabras entregar,
como lo hago yo...
(se levanta el tono de voz completamente)
Hoy, que no quieres saber mas de mi,
hoy, que me toca perder,
voy, a engañarme a mi misma y gritar al espejo,
que ya te olvideee!!!!!!
Y, si los años me dan la razon,
tu, al final ya veras,
en este espejo ya roto y marcado los años,
que no volveraaaan!!!!!
Y cuando quieras gritar,
como yo lo hice esa vez,
entonces y solo entonces, lloraraaaaaass!!!!
Lastima, que aunque yo quiera,
nunca volveras,
porque se,
que sale perdedor el que ama mas,
y aunque tu me llevabas ventaja
con algunos años de mas oh no!!!
nunca te sabras entregar,
como lo hago yo...
Hoy, que no quieres saber mas de mi,
hoy, que me toca perder,

Y, si los años me dan la razon,
tu, al final ya veras,
en este espejo ya roto y marcado los años,

Y cuando quieras gritar,

como yo lo hice esa vez,

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Villacorta Orquesta's song "El Espejo" depict the pain and heartache one feels after a relationship has ended, especially when they were deeply in love with their partner. The singer expresses his regret as he believed their love was too good to be true and that all good things eventually come to an end. He continues to express his sorrow over the fact that forbidden relationships cannot last forever, despite wishing they could. The singer acknowledges that he will never have the person he loves back, because it is always the person in love who suffers the most.

The second verse is about the singer's resolve to move on from the heartbreak, even though it may be painful. The singer refuses to let his love for his ex-partner overcome him, and decides to deceive himself that he has forgotten about them. He acknowledges that in time, he will prove to be right and his ex-partner will see all that they have missed out on. The lyrics show the singer's pain and anguish, and how difficult it is to move on from a relationship that meant so much to him.
