Her name is Elizabeth, she learned early and the hard way
That love does not exist, much less fairy tales
She fell in love with a braggart she promised him an everlasting love
She got her pregnant and she left and paradise is already hell
Her father disagrees with that bastard baby
Abort or leave, then a long me was heard
Seven years have passed since that last night
Since a girl was born in the back seat of a car
Some time later Elizabeth meets Carlos
She guessed an angel came down to save them
What a perception, an angel? I really do not know
She wasn't so wrong because Lucifer was too
Where does she get money from, she wondered
Doubts flooded her but she was silent
Until one day Carlos arrives drunk and finds her
He subdues her and rapes her and the devil begins to advance
Do what you want to me but don't touch my daughter
The girl tells her, does she leave mommy crying and begging her
While blind with lust he pounces on her
But Elizabeth doesn't think and she bursts a bottle
Over and over and cuts her throat
She leaves the lifeless body and covers it with a blanket
She gets in the car and accelerates, all that pressure can't take
Escape the place while the sirens sing
Oh let me tell you a story
Those that there is no happy ending
Those who remain marked in time
that leave a scar
Oh let me tell you a story
Those that there is no happy ending
Those who remain marked in time
that leave a scar
His name is Octavio and he is dedicated to stealing
He started as a child and he didn't know where he was going to stop
And it was easy to steal from schoolmates
From there he went on to steal the tickets from grandfather
For sequels sometimes they caught him
But he knew of a long school of groups that taught him
Houdini would envy his ability to escape
They say they saw him, I don't know where, but he was going to another place
The tiger already has 25 stripes marked
He dedicates himself to stealing, that he pays, his life is in danger
He plans a big robbery, he and his friend are the skinny
Simple kill two guards and that's it, money in the bag
The day of and the hour finds and it is time to act
His skinny friend does not answer and begins to despair
Sweat and think and in his head the tick tock
What the fuck am I going to do it alone and the gun click clack
Enter the bank, shoot the first guard in the rib
While another from behind shoots him in the knee
He manages to get out bleeding, gets in the car and can't take it anymore
He escapes from the place, while the sirens sing
Oh let me tell you a story
Those that there is no happy ending
Those who remain marked in time
that leave a scar
The third story stars Vladimir
He lost the will to live a long time ago
In an accident he lost his wife and daughter
He didn't find the culprit, he ran away like a vermin
And he's been thinking about it for a long time, he doesn't feel like it anymore
If they are no longer here, what case will I have tomorrow?
He pulls out a gun and puts it to his throat
Finger on the trigger, all that pressure can't take
Right behind look there is an accident
There is smoke and glass, look at a crowd of people
Elizabeth comes down from one of the carriages, bleeding
Carrying a girl, ask for help, she is crying
Desperate he wants to act to help
But it's too late the girl stops breathing
Octavio gets off the other car, bleeding
With a gun everybody's aiming
Vladimir remembers that son of a bitch
He pulls the gun out of him and with hate and rage points it
He points it too and the story will end
But this time the sirens are not the ones that will sing
let me tell you a story
You put a happy ending
A happy ending

Did you like this lyrics translation?

fanfarrónbraggart / show-off

Fanfarrón translates to "braggart" or "show-off". It describes someone who boasts excessively, often about things they haven't actually achieved or qualities they don't possess.

In the song, Elizabeth falls for a "fanfarrón" who promises eternal love but then abandons her when she becomes pregnant. This word perfectly captures the deceptive and unreliable nature of this character, setting a tragic tone for her story.

Get ready for a story that's not your typical fairy tale! Santa RM's "Déjame Te Cuento Un Cuento" [Let Me Tell You A Story] is a powerful, dark narrative that follows three different characters whose lives tragically intersect. It's a gripping look at how life can throw unexpected, brutal challenges at us, and how some scars just never heal.

First, we meet Elizabeth, who learns early on that "no existe el amor mucho menos los cuentos de hadas" [love doesn't exist, much less fairy tales]. Her story is one of betrayal, violence, and a mother's desperate fight to protect her child. Then there's Octavio, a thief whose life of crime started young and escalated into dangerous territory. Finally, we meet Vladimir, a man consumed by grief after losing his family. The song builds to a shocking climax where all three characters are brought together in a single, devastating moment, leaving you to ponder the meaning of "un final feliz" [a happy ending].
