El Derrotado

The Loser

El Derrotado

That I'm a loserQue soy un derrotado
that I go through this worldque voy por este mundo
causing feelingscausando sentimiento
to those who see you live.al que le ve vivir.
That I suffer from your absenceQue sufro por tu ausencia
that I cry for your kissesque lloro por tus besos
that's what they've told meeso es lo que me han dicho
that you tell everyone about me.que cuentas t? mi.

That I live in the barsQue vivo en las cantinas
that I sleep whereverque duermo donde quiera
in the end, I'm a outcasttotal que soy un paria
who will soon die.que pronto vade morir.
And I, who am the sameY yo que soy el mismo
who was cradled in your armsque se arrullo en tus brazos
receive your newsrecibo tus noticias
and don't know what to say.y no se que decir.

Why is it always the woman¿Porque siempre la mujer
when she stops lovingcuando deja de querer
she despises and curses usnos desprecia y nos maldice
because she can't stand itporque no sabe aguantar
if she had to crysi es que tuvo que llorar
why the hell doesn't she say it?porque diablos no lo dicen.?

And even if I don't complainY a vez si yo no reniego
about all your insultsde todos tus insultos
what the poet saidlo que dijo el poeta
I'm going to repeat to you.te voy a repetir.
There are birds that cross the swampExisten aves que cruzan el pantano
and don't get dirtyy no se manchan
and you, womany t?bes mujer
my plumage is like those.que mi plumaje es de esos.
