Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sueños De Papel by La Santa Grifa from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Te haré artista de verdad
I will make you a real artist
Tu sólo has de cantar y aprende a sonreír
You only have to sing and learn to smile
Verás tu foto en la pared, dinero a tu merced
You will see your photo on the wall, money at your mercy
Prepárate a vivir un sueño de papel
Get ready to live a paper dream
Papel que el tiempo barrerá
Paper that time will sweep away
Tan frágil como el de fumar
As fragile as smoking
Después, tus sueños donde irán
Then where will your dreams go?
¡Cómo marchita la verdad!
How withered the truth!
Se venden canciones
songs are sold
Se compra popularidad
popularity is bought
Trafican emociones
They traffic emotions
Para después televisar
To later televise
Y mi alma quiere llorar
and my soul wants to cry
Te haré el héroe nacional
I'll make you the national hero
Que se cuela de noche delante del sofá
That sneaks in at night in front of the sofa
Serás un tipo original, te enseñaré a sentir
You will be an original type, I will teach you to feel
Lo que te haré cantar
What I will make you sing
Y cada noche verás que en un colchón
And every night you will see that on a mattress
De un cinco estrellas dormirás
You will sleep in a five star
Por las mañanas sin voz despertarás
In the mornings without a voice you will wake up
Abrazado a tu soledad
embraced to your loneliness
Marioneta, que sola estás
Puppet, how alone you are
Te haré artista de verdad
I will make you a real artist
Tú solo has de cantar y aprende a sonreír
You just have to sing and learn to smile
Aunque quieras llorar
even if you want to cry
Did you know?
