Mirame A Los Ojos Lyrics in English by Pimpinela
**Porvenir** is a beautiful and slightly more formal way to say "future" in Spanish, often used in a more poetic or fateful context than the common word futuro.
In this dramatic Pimpinela classic, the singer is torn between two lovers and tells the new one, "Sabes que en tus manos esta todo mi porvenir" (You know that my entire future is in your hands). This single line captures the immense weight of the decision, framing the romance as a matter of destiny and making it a truly unforgettable word.
Argentina's famous sibling duo Pimpinela is known for theatrical drama, and this track brings all the high stakes you could want. The narrator is caught in a messy love triangle and ready to blow up their current life. They make a massive promise right away: "Yo mañana se lo digo, que no le amo ya" ("Tomorrow I'll tell him that I don't love him anymore"). After fighting an overwhelming attraction and failing to forget this new lover's name, they decide to burn bridges and start fresh. It is dramatic, slightly chaotic, and completely intense.
Notice how the tension builds as the lyrics demand total commitment. The singer begs, "Mírame a los ojos vida mía mira / Dime que me quieres como lo hago yo" ("Look me in the eyes, my love, look / Tell me that you love me like I love you"), quickly followed by the slightly unhinged warning, "Tú no sabes de lo que yo puedo ser capaz" ("You don't know what I'm capable of"). In Spanish, calling someone "vida mía" literally translates to "my life," which shows just how much weight they put on this relationship. By the end, the promise of tomorrow disappears into pure obsession with the line "no hay mañana si yo te tengo aquí" ("there is no tomorrow if I have you here").
