Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Vanidad by Pinto Picasso from Spanish to English.
Encantadora y traicionera
Charming and treacherous
Libre de inseguridad
Free from insecurity
O tal pareciera
Or so it would seem
Bien segura de ti
Very sure of yourself
Pero muy aferrada al espejo
But clinging tight to the mirror
Le cuentas de tu soledad
You tell it about your loneliness
Mientras admiras tu reflejo
While you admire your reflection
Que fácil cambias de semblante
How easily you change your expression
Tu y la mentira son amantes
You and the lie are lovers
Cual de las dos mas arrogantes
Which of you two is more arrogant
Esa presión no hay quien la aguante
Nobody can stand that pressure
Te alejas de la realidad
You drift away from reality
Cuando le haces caso a tu ego
When you listen to your ego
Te invito ponte en mi lugar
I invite you to put yourself in my place
Y veras que te puse primero
And you'll see that I put you first
Ligera siempre a reclamarme
Quick as ever to complain to me
Como que nada es culpa tuya
As if nothing is your fault
Maldito orgullo que en ti arde
Damn pride that burns in you
Y permites que nos destruya
And you let it destroy us
Muy bonita y todo pero
Very pretty and all but
Si el mundo fuera ciego
If the world were blind
A quien impresionarías
Who would you impress
Why you playing games
Why you playing games
I know what you're made of
I know what you're made of
I don't wanna sit around and
I don't wanna sit around and
Go through the same old thing
Go through the same old thing
Same old pain
Same old pain
Why you gotta be so vain
Why you gotta be so vain
There's no room for anyone else
There's no room for anyone else
I guess you in love with yourself
I guess you in love with yourself
Si te hablo la verdad lo que choca
If I tell you the truth, what's shocking
Es la altivez que sale de tu boca
Is the haughtiness that comes from your mouth
Que hasta al hombre mas sabio provoca
That provokes even the wisest man
Difícil de tolerar
Hard to tolerate
Pero solo se odia lo que alguna vez se llegó a amar
But you only hate what was once loved
Imposible de decifrar
Impossible to decipher
Que fácil cambias de semblante
How easily you change your expression
Tu y la mentira son amantes
You and the lie are lovers
Cual de las dos mas arrogantes
Which of you two is more arrogant
Esa presión no hay quien la aguante
Nobody can stand that pressure
Te alejas de la realidad
You drift away from reality
Cuando le haces caso a tu ego
When you listen to your ego
Te invito ponte en mi lugar
I invite you to put yourself in my place
Y veras que te puse primero
And you'll see that I put you first
Ligera siempre a reclamarme
Quick as ever to complain to me
Como que nada es culpa tuya
As if nothing is your fault
Maldito orgullo que en ti arde
Damn pride that burns in you
Y permites que nos destruya
And you let it destroy us
Its a problem
Its a problem
Te alejas de la realidad
You drift away from reality
Cuando le haces caso a tu ego
When you listen to your ego
Te invito ponte en mi lugar
I invite you to put yourself in my place
Y veras que te puse primero
And you'll see that I put you first
Ligera siempre a reclamarme
Quick as ever to complain to me
Como que nada es culpa tuya
As if nothing is your fault
Maldito orgullo que en ti arde
Damn pride that burns in you
Y permites que nos destruya
And you let it destroy us
