Elegia Para Un Rajao

Elegy for a Quitter

Elegia Para Un Rajao

The point is running through the crackAnda moqueando el punto por el raje
That the boss gave him workQue del laburo el patrón le dio
There is no more room for pain or outrageYa no le cabe más dolor ni ultraje
What a fucking life!¡Qué vida puta!
What fixed it!Qué lo reparió!

They say his wife is screwedDicen que tiene la mujer jodida
From eating wind he burstDe comer viento se le reventó
That from a long time agoQue de hace tiempo
It's already a lambidaYa es una lambida
Not even a spit, they sayNi pa'saliva, dicen
What wonQue ganó

For always losingPor perder siempre
He earned a laughSe ganó una risa
They gave him the streetLe dieron calle
But he fellPero se cayó
Bad habit of collecting beatingsMala costumbre de juntar paliza
Without ever saying: What fixed it?Sin decir nunca: Qué lo reparió

He gathered silence as if for a funeralJuntó silencio como pa'un entierro
Whatever comes along, it's always fixedCon lo que venga siempre se arregló
He goes down life like a poor dogBaja la vida como un pobre perro
Chewing the tartar of an old coughMascando el sarro de una vieja tos
It was played for nothing when there was enough for everythingSe jugó a nada cuando había pa todo
He never cheatedNunca hizo trampa
He screwed up his honorLo cagó el honor

And you have to be a manY hay que ser macho
That today he bends his elbowQue hoy que dobla el codo
He says softlyDice bajito
Bitch who threw it awayPuta que lo tiró
The point is running through the crackAnda moqueando el punto por el raje
That the boss gave him workQue del laburo el patrón le dio
There is no more pain left for himYa no le cabe más dolor
No outrageNi ulttraje
What a fucking life!¡Qué vida puta!
What do I fix?Qué lo repario
