Mario (Your own Way to Paradise)
Mario was a halfbreed man, he used to make out, he was poor
Mario's mum had him under her gun, 'cos her white side did him more
Torn between two loyalties, leaving dad alone at home
Torn between two loyalties, leaving dad alone at home
Chorus:
There's only one thing I say, you've got to live day by day
You got to find your own way to throw the dice
You got to prove that you're tough, to take the smooth with the rough
There's only one way you'll get to paradise
Mario and his mother ran so far, so far away
Daddy got out his shotgun and went to hunt them the very next day
Finally caught up with them, said "I'm gonna shoot you down, my boy"
Mother said, "No, don't do that, pa, you're gonna kill my only joy"
Anger flew and shot in two, their only son, their little boy
Anger flew and shot in two, their only son, their little boy
There's only one thing I say, you got to find your own way to throw the dice
There's only one thing I say, you got to find your own way to paradise
Mario (Tu propio camino hacia el paraíso)
Mario era un hombre mestizo, solía enrollarse, era pobre
La mamá de Mario lo tenía en la mira, porque su lado blanco lo afectaba más
Entre dos lealtades dividido, dejando a papá solo en casa
Entre dos lealtades dividido, dejando a papá solo en casa
Coro:
Solo hay una cosa que digo, debes vivir día a día
Debes encontrar tu propio camino para lanzar los dados
Debes demostrar que eres fuerte, aceptar lo bueno y lo malo
Solo hay una forma de llegar al paraíso
Mario y su madre huyeron tan lejos, tan lejos
Papá sacó su escopeta y fue a buscarlos al día siguiente
Finalmente los alcanzó, dijo 'Voy a dispararte, hijo'
La madre dijo, 'No, no hagas eso, papá, vas a matar mi única alegría'
La ira voló y disparó en dos, a su único hijo, a su niño
La ira voló y disparó en dos, a su único hijo, a su niño
Solo hay una cosa que digo, debes encontrar tu propio camino para lanzar los dados
Solo hay una cosa que digo, debes encontrar tu propio camino hacia el paraíso
