Mienten

They Lie

Mienten

They lieMienten
The yellow sun on my foreheadEl amarillo sol sobre mi frente
The blue son that thrives in your wombEl hijo azul que prospera en tu vientre
Life stopped a long time agoLa vida se detuvo hace tiempo
And suddenlyY de repente
They lieMienten
The smile of the teenagerLa sonrisa del adolescente
The pretensions of the suitorsLas pretenciones de los pretendientes
The happy reflection in the mirrorMiente el feliz reflejo en el espejo
Of the peopleDe la gente

And they lieY mienten
Who says it's not urgentQuien dice que no es urgente
Because the ghost of hungerPorque el fantasma del hambre
Appears among my peopleSe aparece entre mi gente
And I can't straighten upY no me puedo enderezar
And I'm standingY estoy parado
I was born to work, I was born to workNaci para trabajar, naci para trabajar
And there's no workY no hay trabajo

They lieMienten
That agony on my green chestEsa agonia sobre mi pecho verde
The bad streak of a brave manLa mala racha de un hombre valiente
The four stabs from those fourLas cuatro puñaladas de esos cuatro
CriminalsDelincuentes

They lieMienten
I was going to give you whatever you asked of meYo te iba a dar lo que tu me pidieses
I don't deserve to lose youQue no soy yo quien merece perderte
With all the love I've searched for youCon lo que te he buscado amor mio
Don't leave meNo me dejes

And they lieY mienten
Let no one be deceivedQue nadie se llame a engaño
They've marked the deckHan marcado la baraja
And they've stolen my luckY me han robado la suerte
And I can't straighten upY no me puedo enderezar
And I'm standingY estoy parado
I was born to work, I was born to workNaci para trabajar, naci para trabajar
And there's no workY no hay trabajo
