Insight...Perspicacia

An English version of part of the poem "To a louse" by Robert Burns.

Oh, that some power had the gift to give us.
To see ourselves as others see.

Ah que algún poder tenía el regalo para darnos.
Vernos como los otros nos ven.

Enmiendas a mi traducción española ... si es tan amable.

Ay, que algún poder/alguna fuerza tuviera el don para darnos
A ver como los otros nos ven.

Mi intento.

I might say:

Oh, that some power had the gift to give us.
To see ourselves as others see.

Que existiese un poder para dotarnos
Con la habilidad de vernos como otros nos ven
