Orquesta Aragon: "_Te_ comiste el mango"
"You ate _you_ the mango"?
Google Translate has:
"You ate the mango,"
a standard translation.
I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable in Spanish to know whether this is
a true parallel to the English construction. But, WTF?

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint
to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
