Nacidos Para Perder

Born to Lose

Nacidos Para Perder

I am the color of your futureSoy del color de tu porvenir
The man in the gray suit told meMe dijo el hombre del traje gris
You're not my type, I repliedNo eres mi tipo le conteste
And that afternoon I learned to runY aquella tarde aprendí a correr
Upon stepping on the stationAl pisar la estación

I opened the cage to my heartLe abrí la jaula a mi corazón
Beyond the mountains was the seaTras las montañas estaba el mar
The night, the vertigo, the cityLa noche, el vértigo, la ciudad
The world in exchange for a songEl mundo a cambio de una canción
I was given a plate, a kiss, a mattressMe daba un plato, un beso, un colchón

The only medal I've won in lifeLa única medalla que he ganado en la vida
Was made of tin and disappointmentEra de hojalata y decepción
There was no way out of the barracks alleyNo tenía salida el callejón del cuartel
For the deserter of the battalionPara el desertor del batallón
Of those born to loseDe los nacidos para perder

Cousin of the soul undress mePrima del alma desnúdame
From the gray suit, from the crowdDel traje gris, de la multitud
Return me to the southern pathDevuélveme al camino del sur
To the land of childhoodAl país de la niñez
Where one and one added up to threeDonde uno y uno sumaban tres

The only medal life has given meLa única medalla que me ha dado la vida
I won it on stageEn el escenario la gané
There was no way out of the barracks alleyNo tenía salida el callejón del cuartel
For the deserter of the battalionPara el desertor del batallón
Of those born to loseDe los nacidos para perder
