no te veías diferente
You didn't look any different
al resto de la gente que sentía un
to the rest of the people who felt a
mientras todos me decían te está
While everyone told me it's
marcando la vida para mí eres el mejor
Marking life for me you are the best
y me entregué
and I surrendered
y te seguir escondiendo tus defectos
and keep hiding your shortcomings
intentando ver perfecto lo que siempre

fue un error y desperté
It was a mistake and I woke up
cuando yo misma lo vi y te encontré
When I saw it myself and found you
dejando una igual que a mí
leaving one just like me
un pobre infeliz que va de veras sombras
A poor unhappy man who is truly shadowy
riéndose de todos riéndose de mí
laughing at everyone laughing at me
cuando ella se enteró
When she found out
que mientras esperaba no estabas conmigo
that while I waited you were not with me
entonces seré yo
then it will be me
quien se reirá de ti
who will laugh at you
por más que piense es lo que piensa y
no matter how much he thinks, it is what he thinks and
fuiste algo diferente y ahora sé que fue

aunque en el fondo yo sabía que era todo
Although deep down I knew it was all
una mentira me aferraba a la ilusión y
A lie clung to the illusion and
cuando yo mis manos y te encontré
When I my hands and I found you
besando la igual que a mí
kissing the same as me
a su cliente
to your customer
un pobre infeliz que va de meras sombras
A poor wretched man who goes from mere shadows
riéndose de todos riéndose de mí
laughing at everyone laughing at me

si fuiste solamente un payaso perdedor
If you were just a losing clown
