El Espejo
Teen Angels Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Me miro al espejo
Y allí estoy
Es ese que veo
El que soy
En donde me encuentro
A donde voy
A quien reconozco
Y quien está hoy

Me miro y la veo
Aquí está
Es esa que llega
Y se va
A quien ama ahora
A quien amará
Es mía o de otro
Por quien llorará

No vengas
No sueñes
No sufras
No sientas
No soy lo que quieres
Ni soy lo que esperas
No digas
Que miento
No ves
Lo que siento
No vuelvas
No hay tiempo
No me ames
Lo siento
Mi amor

Y soy ese espejo
Que no ves
Que muestra tal vez
Mi realidad
No busques al otro
El otro no está
Soy yo el que te mira
Soy yo el que buscás

No vengas
No sueñes
No sufras
No sientas
No soy lo que quieres
Ni soy lo que esperas
No digas
Que miento
No ves
Lo que siento
No vuelvas
No hay tiempo
No me ames
Lo siento
Mi amor

No soy lo que quieres
Ni soy lo que esperas

No digas
Que miento
No ves
Lo que siento
No vuelvas
No hay tiempo
No me ames

Lo siento
Mi amor

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Teen Angels' song El Espejo, which translates to 'The Mirror', are essentially about introspection and self-acceptance. The singer looks into the mirror and sees themselves for who they truly are, acknowledging their strengths and weaknesses, and accepting themselves for who they are. The mirror is also a metaphor for how other people see and perceive the singer, and how they see themselves in relation to others.

The song then takes a somewhat melancholic turn, with the singer telling someone not to come back or love them because they are not what the other person wants or expects. This is a reflection of the singer's self-doubt and lack of confidence in their ability to meet other people's expectations. However, the singer urges the other person to look no further than the mirror to find what they are looking for, as the mirror reflects the true identity of the singer.

Overall, this song is a poignant self-reflection on self-love and acceptance, and the struggle to meet societal expectations while staying true to oneself.
