I was able to give myself completely, and that's whyYo fui capaz de darme entero y es por eso
I find myself shattered,que me encuentro hecho pedazos,
and feeling abandoned.y me encuentro abandonao.
Because I gave, without seeing who I was giving to,Porque me di, sin ver a quién me daba,
and today my reward isy hoy tengo como premio
being on my knees.que estar arrodillao.
On my knees in front of the altar of lies,Arrodillao frente al altar de la mentira,
in front of so many piggy banks,frente a tantas alcancías,
that are called hearts;que se llaman corazón;
and communing in so much hypocrisy,y comulgar en tanta hipocresía,
for daily bread,por el pan diario,
for a corner.por un rincón.

On my knees, you gotta live,Arrodillao, hay que vivir,
to deserve some favor;pa' merecer algún favor;
because if you stand up,que si de pie te ponés,
to shoutpara gritar
about all this ruin and evil.tanta ruina y maldad.
Crucified, that's how you'll see yourself,Crucificao, te vas a ver,
because of everyone else's morals;por la moral de los demás;
in this cruel Golgotha,en este Gólgota cruel,
where the most vile,donde el más vil,
that one, plays the judge.ése, la va de Juez.

They've left meNo me han dejao
with nothing but the comfort of my nights,más que el consuelo de mis noches,
of my bohemian nights,de mis noches de bohemia,
mixing dreams with alcohol.mezclar sueños con alcohol.
And I don't want more, I'm fine being alone,Ni quiero más, me basta estando solo,
having as my friendteniendo por amigo
a glass of liquor.un vaso de licor.
At least with coins I've bought,Que por lo menos con monedas he comprado,
who can't sell me,a quién no podrá venderme,
who will lend me couragequién me prestará valor
to keep up in this daily circus,para cumplir en este circo diario,
with the trickscon las piruetas
of so many clowns.de tanto clown.
