Todas las promesas que apuntaban hacia al cielo
All the promises that pointed towards the sky
Se quedaron atrapadas en algún remoto del firmamento
They got trapped in some remote corner of the firmament
Todas las tardes de más de un millón
All the afternoons of more than a million
De veranos
Of summers
Se han diluido en agua y sal
They've dissolved in water and salt
El ruido de una cafetera me trae de vuelta al
The sound of a coffee maker brings me back to the
Redil de los placeres breves y las horas lentas
Fold of brief pleasures and slow hours
Respiro y clavo la vista en la taza
I breathe and fix my gaze on the cup
Mientras imagino veinte maneras de escapar
While I imagine twenty ways to escape
Y entre expectativas y espejismos
And between expectations and mirages
Apareces y eres lo único real
You appear and you're the only real thing
Un soplo de vida en mis abismos
A breath of life in my depths
Una ráfaga de plena claridad
A burst of complete clarity
A la encrucijada de los signos
To the crossroads of signs
Responde tu señal
Your signal responds
Sobrevuelo los relieves del trayecto
I fly over the contours of the path
Cordilleras, páramos, lagunas y desfiladeros
Mountain ranges, moors, lagoons and gorges
Las piedras han ocupado el sendero
The stones have taken over the path
Y por más que lo intento no encuentro las migas de pan
And no matter how much I try, I don't find the breadcrumbs
Las opciones se reducen a dormir los sueños
The options come down to letting the dreams sleep
O tirar de épica y valor hasta que sean nuestros
Or draw on epic and courage until they're ours
Sin garantías, ni avales ni el lecho
Without guarantees, nor collateral, nor the comfort
Del término medio
Of the middle ground
Se abren las apuestas, ¿quién da más?
The bets are open, who bids more?
Y entre expectativas y espejismos
And between expectations and mirages
Apareces y eres lo único real
You appear and you're the only real thing
Un soplo de vida en mis abismos
A breath of life in my depths
Una ráfaga de plena claridad
A burst of complete clarity
A la encrucijada de los signos
To the crossroads of signs
Responde tu señal
Your signal responds
Entra sin miedo, sin máscara, sin disfraz
Enter without fear, without a mask, without a disguise
En mi tabula rasa
On my blank slate
Inscribe un prólogo de luz
Write a prologue of light
Si el vértigo marca la cota de altitud
If vertigo marks the height
Inventa un lucero y no mires al suelo
Invent a star and don't look at the ground
Y entre expectativas y espejismos
And between expectations and mirages
Apareces y eres lo único real
You appear and you're the only real thing
Un soplo de vida en mis abismos
A breath of life in my depths
Una ráfaga de plena claridad
A burst of complete clarity
Y entre expectativas y espejismos
And between expectations and mirages

Espejismos translates to "mirages." It's a captivating word that evokes images of illusions and deceptive appearances, making it quite unique in song lyrics.
In the context of the song, the artist sings "Y entre expectativas y espejismos, apareces y eres lo único real."
