Que Chasco Me Lleve

What a Letdown I Had

Que Chasco Me Lleve

It's hard to realize thingsEs duro darse cuenta de las cosas
The prettiest rose has thornsLa rosa más bonita tiene espinas
It's true that roses are beautifulEs cierto que las rosas son hermosas
If they're not from your garden, they're even prettierSi no es de tu jardín son más bonitas

A young girl passed by that I likedMe pasa un escuincla que me gusta
And I thought maybe she'll like me backY me dije quién quite y me quiera
What a letdown I had, she was marriedQue chasco me lleve era casada
It was sadder than I realizedFua más triste que me haya dado cuenta

I kept going around in circles for many daysLe anduve dando vueltas muchos días
And she just looked at meY ella solamente me miraba
With eyes that spoke to anyoneCon ojos que a cualquiera me decía
And I, like the Indians, bowed downY yo como los indios me agachaba

But it's hard to realize thingsPero es duro darse cuenta de las cosas
And now I just settle for looking at herY hoy solo me conformo con mirarla
Her looks pierce me like thornsSus miradas se me clavan como espinas
Because she's a flower, she's a rosePor que ella es una flor es una rosa
