Reflexion Del Guerrero

The last time I sang in that townLa última vez que cante en aquel pueblo
I did it in the middle of a scratch all overLo hice en medio de una rasca toditos
I was rightly criticized, I had screwed upMe criticaron con razón, había metido la pata
An audience accustomed to enjoying my singingUn publico acostumbrado a disfrutar de mi canta

And that night I couldn't even hold on to the harpY aquella noche no pude ni sostenerme en el arpa
The news spread among the people like waterLa noticia se rego entre la gente, como el agua
Between the ponds but the night beforeEntre las charcas pero la noche anterior
I did well, no one praised meYo lo hice bien, nadie me dio alabanza

Because it is that the good is always covered by the badPorque será que a lo bueno lo malo siempre lo tapa
And it is that from happiness we are one step away from misfortuneY es que de la dicha andamos a un paso de la desgracia
As an uncomprehending human being I recognized my faultComo humano incomprensivo yo reconocí mi falta
But I don't think it's fair for the people to raisePero no creo que sea justo que el pueblo levante

The pole to paddle my career that with effort and perseveranceEl asta para palear mi carrera que con esfuerzo y constancia
He is just looking for a place in the folklore of the countryTan solo busca un sitial en el folklore de la patria
I hope someone understands me because I am in thoseOjalá y alguien me entienda que yo en esas
Circumstances were walking with a hangover that byCircunstancias andaba con un guayabo que por

It kills me a little to drink to forget thatPoquito me mata bebiendo para olvidar aquella

My drunk life I thought that becoming aware of thingsMi vida borracha pensé que tomar conciencia ante las cosas
It was what I needed, we have to fix the mistakes that we madeEra lo que me hacia falta hay que arreglar los errores que nos
They hurt and kill us because as long as there is life there must beHieren y nos matan porque mientras haya vida tiene que haber

I have seen that friendship is so uncertain, it looks at us with a double faceYo he visto que la amistad es tan incierta, nos mira con doble facha
And I know that most friends have a fake faceY se que la mayoría de los amigos tienen una cara falsa
When we are standing still they greet us andCuando estamos bien paraos nos saludan y

They treat us, but if we are down they look at usNos tratan, pero si estamos caídos nos miran
Unimportant, I have nevertheless foughtSin importancia, yo sin embargo he guerreado
With infinite poor but very perseveranceCon infinita constancia pobre pero muy
I have been honored since childhoodHonrado he sido desde la infancia lo

I have won it with thought and throatQue tengo lo h ganado con pensamiento y garganta
I'm used to it like this and I thank the Lord for itAsí estoy acostumbrado y al señor le doy las gracias
Now I look closer at what I saw in the distanceAhora miro más cercano lo que veía en lontananza

The blows I have taken are my best teachingLos golpes que me he llevado son mi mejor enseñanza
I go forward with courage because going backwards is scaryPa lante voy con valor porque para atrás se espanta
If I have fallen it is so that you know that the warrior risesSi he caído es pa que sepan que el guerrero se levanta
