Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quién Diría by Ricardo Arjona from Spanish to English.
Quien diría que el mink
Who would say that the mink
Y la mezclilla
And the denim
Podrian fundirse un día
Could merge one day
Tu caviar y yo tortilla
Your caviar and I tortilla
Parece que el amor no
It seems that love doesn't
Entiende de plusvalias
Understand about profits
Tú vas al banco yo prefiero
You go to the bank, I prefer
La alcancia
The piggy bank
Oigo Serrat y tu prefieres Locomia
I listen to Serrat and you prefer Locomia
Tú vas al punto yo voy
You go straight to the point, I go
Por la fantasía
For fantasy
Parece que el amor
It seems that love
No entiende de ironías
Doesn't understand about ironies
Que son años
That it's been years
Los que ya llevamos juntos
That we've been together
Que lo importante
That the important thing
Es aceptarte y que me aceptes
Is to accept you and for you to accept me
Si que te amo
Yes, I love you
Y que ames es una ironia
And loving is an irony
Que bendicion la mía
What a blessing mine is
Despertar junto a ti cada día
To wake up next to you every day
Yo trovador y tu estudiante
I'm a troubadour and you're a student
Tu con los numeros yo con
You with numbers, me with
Y aunque suena imposible
And although it sounds impossible
Al amor le importan poco
Love cares little about
Dice la gente que tú y yo
People say that you and I
No hacemos compañia
Don't make a good pair
Por ser agua y aceite que ironía
Because we're like water and oil, what an irony
Si fuesemos iguales que apatia
If we were the same, what apathy
No tendríamos de que hablar
We wouldn't have anything to talk about
Cada siguiente día
Each following day
Que son años
That it's been years
Los que ya llevamos juntos
That we've been together
Que lo importante
That the important thing
Es aceptarte y que me aceptes
Is to accept you and for you to accept me
Que son años
That it's been years
Los que ya llevamos juntos
That we've been together
Que lo importante
That the important thing
Es aceptarte y que me aceptes
Is to accept you and for you to accept me
Si que te amo
Yes, I love you
Y que ames es una ironía
And loving is an irony
Que bendición la mía
What a blessing mine is
Despertar junto a ti cada día
To wake up next to you every day
