Yo Estoy Desengañado

I Am Disillusioned

Yo Estoy Desengañado

Disillusioned with bars and taverns,Desengañado de bares y cantinas,
with so much hypocrisy, with so much falsehood,de tanta hipocresía, de tanta falsedad,
with friends who claim to be friends,de los amigos que dicen ser amigos,
with women who lie when they kiss,de las mujeres que mienten al besar,
what it means to be poor, what it means to have money,lo que es ser pobre, lo que es tener moneda,
that experience is acquired much more there.esa experiencia allí se adquiere mucho más.

I raise my glass in triumph to my experience,Alzo mi copa en triunfo a mi experiencia,
which is not learned in school or at home,que no se aprende en escuela ni en hogar,
that is learned on the street, in the tavern,eso se aprende en la calle, en la cantina,
glass after glass under the musical background,copa tras copa bajo el fondo musical,
from the record player that tells you so many things,de la victrola que te dice tantas cosas,
and from the lips that lie to you when kissing.y de los labios que te mienten al besar.
