Moneda de Cobre (part. Raúl Berón)

Your dad was a blondeTu padre era rubio
Handsome and a troublemakerBuen mozo y malevo
Your mom was darkTu madre morena
With lips like a flowerCon labios malvon

You were born a mulattoMulata naciste
With sky-blue eyesCon ojos de cielo
And a puff in your hairY mota en el pelo
Like black coalDe negro carbon

You grew up in the mudCreciste entre el lodo
Of a very poor neighborhoodDe un barrio muy pobre
You turned twentyCumpliste veinte años
What was it all for?Total para que

And now they call youY ahora te llaman
A copper coinMoneda de cobre
Because you're lonely and sadPorque es sola y triste
You're worth so littleMuy poco vales

Copper coinMoneda de cobre
I know that yesterdayYo sé que ayer
You were beautifulFuiste hermosa
With your rose-colored wingsYo con tus alas de rosa
I saw you fly, butterflyTe vi volar mariposa
And then, I saw you fallY después, te vi caer

Mud coinMoneda de fango
You danced the tango so wellQue bien bailabas el tango
You looked so lovely back thenQue linda estabas entonces
Like a bronze queenCómo una reina de bronce
Over at the Follies BergereAllá en el Follies Bergere
