El Peso

The Weight

El Peso

In this world, everything's a facadeEn este mundo todo es fingido
Friendships and pals, all a charadeLas amistades y los amigos
'Cause I've felt it myself, you seePorque a mi mismo me ha sucedido
If you've got cash, you're never in needSi tienes plata nada te falta
They'll roll out the red carpet for youPor donde quiera te traen aqui
But if your luck takes a dive, it's trueSi por desgracia cambia tu suerte
You'll find out no one remembers youVerás que nadie se acuerda de ti

I say this from my own experienceEsto lo digo por mi experiencia
Friendships ain't worth a damn, it's clearLas amistades no valen nada
'Cause even good deeds come with a pricePorque hasta un bien con un mal se paga
This is as true as I say it isEsto es tan cierto como lo digo
There are no friends without a motiveQue no hay amigos sin interes
In this world, there are no friendsEn este mundo ya no hay amigos
Even if they paint the world upside downAunque me pinten el mundo al revez

Now I bid farewell with these linesYa me despido con estos versos
Keep in mind what I'm telling youTengan presente lo que les digo
There's no friend like a pocket full of cashNo hay mas amigo que traer un peso
Disillusioned by the disdainDesengañado por el desprecio
For making friends with those who ain'tPor hacer gente al que no es
In this world, there are no friendsEn este mundo ya no hay amigos
Even if they paint the world upside downAunque me pinten el mundo al revez
