Mariposas Lyrics in English by Carmen DeLeon
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mariposas by Carmen DeLeon from Spanish to English.
Eran las ocho y desperté
It was eight and I woke up
Miré a mi lado
I looked to my side
Y te busqué
And I looked for you
A-a-a, a-a-a
A-a-a, a-a-a
A-a-a qué hora
A-a-a at what time
Te vuelvo a ver
I'll see you again
Vi tu sombra reflejada en la pared
I saw your shadow reflected on the wall
Llevo toda la mañana
I've been all morning
Preparando el cafecito que a ti te gustaba
Preparing the coffee that you liked
Y poniéndole la mermelada a la tostada
And putting the jam on the toast
Dónde estás que ya tengo la mesa preparada
Where are you, I already have the table ready
Para disfrutarte de este nuevo día
To enjoy this new day with you
Y no tener que soñarte cuando te tenía
And not have to dream of you when I had you
Sigo haciendo las cosas por las que sonreías
I keep doing the things that made you smile
A ver si me acompañas otra vez un día
To see if you'll join me again one day
Ay
Oh
Estoy celosa de la forma que tú estás sin mí
I'm jealous of the way you are without me
De la manera que estás siempre
Of the way you always are
Y nunca, nunca estás aquí
And never, never are you here
Sé que por más veces que rece
I know that no matter how many times I pray
Ya no es posible que regreses
It's no longer possible for you to return
Aunque mí mente sabe bien que tú vives aquí
Although my mind knows well that you live here
Aquí
Here
Aquí
Here
Aunque mí mente sabe bien que vives aquí
Although my mind knows well that you live here
La casa no es igual sin tu ropa en el suelo
The house isn't the same without your clothes on the floor
Usabas mi peine y te quejabas de mis pelos
You used my comb and complained about my hairs
Pero
But
Yo no sabía-ía
I didn't know
Quién lo diría-ía
Who would've thought
Que a mi me faltaría cuando tanto me jodías
That I would miss you when you f*cked with me so much
Mil quinientas fotos que tú me tomabas
Fifteen hundred photos that you took of me
Y que yo me arrechaba
And that I got pissed off
Y pedía que borraras
And I asked you to delete them
Eh, yo no sabía-ía
Eh, I didn't know
Quién lo diría-ía
Who would've thought
Que a mí me faltaría cuando tanto me jodías
That I would miss you when you f*cked with me so much
Yo no sabía-ía
I didn't know
Quién lo diría-ía
Who would've thought
Que a mí me faltaría cuando tanto me jodías
That I would miss you when you f*cked with me so much
Ay
Oh
Estoy celosa de la forma que tú estás sin mí
I'm jealous of the way you are without me
De la manera que estás siempre
Of the way you always are
Y nunca, nunca estás aquí
And never, never are you here
Sé que por más veces que rece
I know that no matter how many times I pray
Ya no es posible que regreses
It's no longer possible for you to return
Aunque mí mente sabe bien que tú vives aquí
Although my mind knows well that you live here
Aquí
Here
Aquí
Here
Aunque mí mente sabe bien que vives aquí
Although my mind knows well that you live here

arrechaba — I got angry / I got annoyed
Arrechaba comes from the verb arrecharse, which is a colloquial and somewhat vulgar term in some Latin American countries, particularly Venezuela (where Carmen DeLeon is from), meaning "to get angry" or "to get annoyed."
In the song, the singer recalls a past relationship, saying, "Mil quinientas fotos que tú me tomabas / Y que yo me arrechaba / Y pedía que borraras" (A thousand five hundred photos you took of me / And I would get annoyed / And ask you to delete them). This word adds a raw, authentic, and relatable touch to the memory, highlighting the everyday frustrations within a loving relationship.
