UN ERROR

A MISTAKE

UN ERROR

Maybe tomorrow I'll be better offTal vez mañana estoy mejor
In a better rideEn un motor mejor
Or maybe some piece-of-shit situation will be worseO tal vez una mierda de esas es peor
Or just a mistakeO un error

That first lucky break was a mistakeEl primer lucky fue un error
If I'd known it would be like thisYo hubiera sabido que era así
I wouldn't have even startedNi lo prendo mejor
I'm out here wilding with a whole crowdEstoy guiriao con un gentío

For real, I haven't liedReal yo no he mentido
Alone and stranded, deep in the shitSolo y botado en mierdero metido
I say things that make no senseHablo cosas sin sentido
But only to those who've truly felt itPa la gente que ha sentido

Hang in there, I'm going all out for what's mineAguante, yo voy a muerte por lo mío
Mark my words: I'm flesh and blood, I don't sell outGuarda esto soy de carne no me presto
I remember singing without a thought about all thisRecuerdo cuando cantaba sin pensar en esto
But this Man, oh manPero esto maestra maestro

Is this the mirror?¿Este es el espejo?
It's not the same, what happened? This isn't who I wasNo es el mismo, qué pasó, yo no era esto
I sit on the balcony feeling sadEn el balcón me siento triste
Like it's the very first timeComo si fuera el primero

And the other guy's there giving adviceY el otro a aconsejarme
Like he was the first oneComo si él fuera el primero
Listen up, if you want to make it to old ageEscuché pa' que llegue a viejo
But I'm not doing what they wantPero yo no voy a hacer lo que ellos quieran

If that's how it isSi es así no quiero
I don't want any part of itY ahora dicen que estoy loco
And now they say I'm crazy for telling the truth for spitting venomPorque digo la verdad, tiro veneno
Ha, really? Oh, okay thenJa ¿sí?, ah bueno

Everyone left me in the dustA mí todo el mundo me dejó el polvero
The real ones, one less fear to worry aboutEl verdadero un miedo menos
But we're all just travelersPero arrieros somos
Go on, we'll see each other down the roadDale que en el camino nos vemos

I don't want to lag behind anymoreYa no quiero estar detrás
I've lost sight of the goalHe perdido el objetivo
I have to criticize myselfMe toca criticarme
Supposedly to be objectiveDisque pa' ser objetivo

A toast to the whores I've slept withUna sal por las putas que he comido
To the people I've taken inLa gente que he recogido
To the pills I've poppedPor las pepas que he metido
A fear, a trend, three kids, and a weddingUn temor, una moda, tres hijos y una boda

I treated good people badlyTraté mal a buena gente
And treated the guy who robbed me wellY traté bien al que me roba
I signed their papers, they caught me when I was off guardLes firmé, me cogieron en la hora boba
If I let them down, don't worry, I'm paying for it all right hereSi les fallé, tranquilo, acá yo las estoy pagando todas
