Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Princesa by Los Secretos from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Tú no princesa, tú no, tú eres distinta
You're not a princess, you're not, you're different
No eres como las demás chicas del barrio
You're not like the other girls in the neighborhood
Así los hombres te miran, cómo te miran
So men look at you, how they look at you
Así murmura envidioso el vecindario
So he mutters the neighborhood enviously
Tú no princesa, tú no, tú eres la rosa
You don't princess, you don't, you're the rose
Que fue a nacer entre cardos como revancha
That was to be born among thistles as a rematch
Un despiadado, un don del día
A ruthless, gift of the day
Se ocupa de echar por tierra toda esperanza
He's in charge of throwing out all hope
Tú no has de ver consumida como la vida pasó de largo
You don't have to see consumed as life went by
Maltratada y malquerida, sin ver cumplida ni una promesa
Battered and cursed, without seeing a promise kept
Me dice mientrás cepilla el pelo su princesa
Tells me while you brush your princess's hair
Tú no princesa, tú no, tú no has nacido
You're not a princess, you're not, you're not born
Para pasar las fatigas que yo pasé
To pass the fatigues that I went through
Sacandole el dobladillo a un miserable
Taking the hem out of a wretched
Salario que no alcanza al fin de mes
Salary not reaching the end of the month
Tú no princesa, tú no, por dios lo juro
You don't princess, you don't, for God's sake I swear
Tú no andarás de rodillas fregando pisos
You won't be on your knees scrubbing floors
No acabarás hecha un zarrio como tu madre
You won't end up a tsar as your mother
Cansada de quitar mierda y de parir hijos
Tired of taking away shit and give birth to children
Tú no saldrás y muertos de hambre
You won't go out and starve
Ya me imagino la cara de las vecinas cuando aparezcas
I can already imagine the faces of the neighbors when you show up
En mi por esta vieja
In me for this old
Tú no princesa, tú no, vuelve temprano
You don't princess, you don't, come back early
Y la sigue un paso atrás hasta la calle
And he follows her one step back to the street
Planchándole con la palma en la mano
Flattening him with his palm in his hand
Una arruga que el vestido le hace en el talle
A wrinkle that the dress makes in the waist
