Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mascaritas De Cristal by Natalia Lafourcade from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
Te tenías escondidas
You kept them hidden
Bien toditas tus verdades
All your truths so well
Verse 1
Aunque no me las decías
Even though you didn't tell me
Desde aquí te vi triunfar
From here I saw you triumph
Verse 1
Tan lejana tu estrategia
So distant was your strategy
De aumentar algunos likes
To boost a few likes
Verse 1
Encubriendo tus mentiras
Covering up your lies
Mascaritas de cristal
Crystal masks
Verse 1
Yo sabía que algún día
I knew that someday
Volverías aquí, llorando
You would come back here, crying

Arrastrando un cargamento
Dragging a load
De tristeza y confusión

Verse 1
Suelta ya tus lagrimitas
Let your little tears fall now
No te olvides que eres río
Don't forget that you're a river
Verse 1
Tu camino está confuso
Your path is confused
Y manchadito de traición
And stained a bit with betrayal
Chorus 1
Yo no quiero ver tu sombra
I don't want to see your shadow
Ni tu cara más bonita
Nor your prettiest face
Chorus 1
Tu locura reprimida
Your repressed madness
Me resulta una ficción
Seems like fiction to me

Es un drama desmedido
It's an excessive drama
Habitando allá, en tu mente
Dwelling there, in your mind

Ah-ay, I want to see your truth
Verse 2
Si te sientas a mi mesa
If you sit at my table
No me cuentes de medallas
Don't tell me about medals
Verse 2
No me traigas regalitos
Don't bring me little gifts
Que no sirven para nada
That aren't good for anything

No me importan tus castillos
I don't care about your castles
Tu dinero ni tu nombre
Your money or your name

Tu prestigio idealizado
Your idealized prestige

You had them so hidden
Chorus 2
Bien toditas tus verdades
All your truths so well
