Jugando a no ganar

Playing Not to Win

Jugando a no ganar

I was the one who promised myself not to fall againFui yo quien me prometí que no volvería a caer
Until I found myself here, deeply involved in the roleHasta que me he visto aquí, muy metido en el papel
Of a foolish conqueror, more defeated today than yesterdayDe un tonto conquistador, más vencido hoy que ayer
Almost lost his voice kicking with his faithCasi ha perdido la voz a patadas con su fe.
Now it doesn't matter, I've learned to be happy like thisAhora da igual, he aprendido a ser feliz así;
From bar to bar, almost, almost forgot about youDe bar en bar, casi, casi me he olvidado de ti

How can I trust that woman's body?¿cómo poderme fiar de ese cuerpo de mujer?
So many nights I've searched for the poison of that skinTantas noches que he buscado el veneno de esa piel
That always slipped away, never let itself be eatenQue siempre se me ha escapado nunca se dejó comer
And I've walked more crooked than uprightY he caminado más torcido que de pie;
Dog at your feet, abandoned, wounded, thirstyPerro a tus pies, abandonado, herido, tengo sed.

I keep turning around,Doy vueltas sin parar,
I don't want to continue like this anymoreNo quiero seguir más tiempo así.
Playing not to win,Jugando a no ganar,
You see, I've lost youYa ves, me he quedado sin ti.

And I've walked more crooked than uprightY he caminado más torcido que de pie
Dog at your feet, abandoned, wounded, thirstyPerro a tus pies, abandonado, herido, tengo sed
And I've walked through places of pleasureY he caminado por lugares de placer
Thinking that I wasn't thinking of you, I remembered youPensando que no pensaba en ti te recordé
