Mirame A Los Ojos Lyrics in English by Pimpinela
**Porvenir** is a beautiful and slightly more formal way to say "future" in Spanish, often used in a more poetic or fateful context than the common word futuro.
In this dramatic Pimpinela classic, the singer is torn between two lovers and tells the new one, "Sabes que en tus manos esta todo mi porvenir" (You know that my entire future is in your hands). This single line captures the immense weight of the decision, framing the romance as a matter of destiny and making it a truly unforgettable word.
This song is a whole dramatic story packed into a few minutes! It's about someone who has decided to leave their current partner for a new love. They are absolutely determined, repeating the line, "Yo mañana se lo digo / Que no le amo ya" (Tomorrow I'll tell him / That I don't love him anymore). The singer confesses that they've fought this new attraction but simply couldn't resist, admitting, "He tratado de olvidar tu nombre / Pero no he podido" (I have tried to forget your name / But I couldn't).
But it's not just a declaration of leaving someone; it's also a desperate plea to the new person. The singer needs to know this huge risk is worth it. They demand reassurance in the chorus, singing, "Mírame a los ojos vida mía mira / Dime que me quieres como lo hago yo" (Look into my eyes, my love, look / Tell me you love me like I love you). They are ready to start a completely new life and abandon everything from their past, all for this one passionate moment that they believe will never end.
