Translation

Es duro darse cuenta de las cosas

It's tough to realize things

La rosa más bonita tiene espinas

The prettiest rose has thorns

Es cierto que las rosas son hermosas

It's true that roses are beautiful

Si no es de tu jardín son más bonitas

If they're not from your garden, they're prettier


Me pasa un escuincla que me gusta

There's this girl I like

Y me dije quién quite y me quiera

And I thought, maybe she'll like me back

Que chasco me lleve era casada

What a shock I got, she was married

Fua más triste que me haya dado cuenta

It was sadder than I realized


Le anduve dando vueltas muchos días

I spent many days circling around

Y ella solamente me miraba

And she just looked at me

Con ojos que a cualquiera me decía

With eyes that seemed to say something to anyone

Y yo como los indios me agachaba

And I, like the indigenous, bowed down


Pero es duro darse cuenta de las cosas

But it's tough to realize things

Y hoy solo me conformo con mirarla

And now I just settle for looking at her

Sus miradas se me clavan como espinas

Her gazes pierce me like thorns

Por que ella es una flor es una rosa

Because she's a flower, she's a rose
