Zapatos Viejos Lyrics in English Gloria Trevi

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Zapatos Viejos by Gloria Trevi from Spanish to English.
I've got some old shoes
And I don't want to throw them out
Even though they have holes
I really appreciate them
They are my story
My sorrow and my glory
They're my personality
Wherever I take them
They draw a lot of attention
Maybe because some toes
Pop out in excitement
And they walk on sidewalks
Now without laces
They like to go out in the sun
Old shoes
What a beautiful pair
Old shoes
So cool
So cool
In fights and parties
They've really let me down
Because with so many stomps
It's hard to walk
I throw them away and get mad
Then I pick them back up
I can't abandon them
Old shoes
What a beautiful pair
Old shoes
So cool
So cool
So cool
They say that I should be ashamed
That I should change them
That they even lend me money
Just so that they can see me in another pair
But I love them
They're my companions
I can't abandon them
Old shoes
What a beautiful pair
Old shoes
So cool
So cool
So cool
Old shoes
Old shoes
Old shoes
What a beautiful pair
Old shoes
So cool
So cool
So cool

SONG MEANING

Gloria Trevi turns a battered pair of zapatos viejos into a badge of honor. Every scuff and hole tells a story of wild parties, scraped sidewalks, and stubborn independence. Instead of hiding their flaws, she proudly parades them, letting curious onlookers catch a glimpse of toes popping out "de emoción." The shoes are more than footwear – they are her history, her ups and downs, and her unmistakable personality.

When friends urge her to toss the shoes and even offer money for a new pair, Trevi refuses. She would rather mend and rescue them than abandon her faithful companions. The song becomes a playful anthem about loving what makes you unique, standing up to social pressure, and celebrating the imperfect items that carry our memories. In short, Zapatos Viejos is a shout-out to authenticity: keep what tells your story, no matter how worn it looks.
