Sin Fortuna

Without Fortune

Sin Fortuna

I was born without fortune and without anythingYo naci sin fortuna y sin nada
defying destiny head-ondesfiando al destino defrente
even the most unhappy humiliated mehasta el mas infeliz me umillaba
ignoring me all the peopleignorandome toda la gente
does my luck suddenly change??..va de pronto mi suerte a cambiado??..
and suddenly I found myself among the people.y de pronto me vi entre la gente.

And those people pretend to be happyY esa gente finjir se dichosa
Facing a world full of lies and deceitFrente a un mundo bulga y embustero
Hypocritical, rude, and old peopleGente hipocrita ruimbe y dinosa
For whom money is of no useQue de nada le sirve el dinero
Who die just like the poor??..Que se muere lo mismo que el pobre???..
And their grave is the same hole??..Y su tumba es el mismo abujero??..

Now I go on different pathsAhora voy por distintos caminos
following my destiny so aloneposiguiendo tan so al destino
and among the poor I feel happyy entre pobres me siento dichosos
if it's loving my eternal lovesi es amando do mi amor eterno
I tip my hat to the poorcon los pobres me quito el sombrero
and I despise even the most powerful.y deprecio hasta el mas poderoso

I am honest and sincere, I tell yousoy cabal y sincero les digo
I have carved my own destinyel habrado mi propio destino
promising a hand to a friendprometiendo la mano al amigo
but I never humiliate the rich.pero al rico jamas me lo humillo

I never had the warmth of a kissyo nunca tuve el calor de u beso
my poor parents worked so hardmis pobres viejos trabajaban tanto
that they never had time for thatque nunca tuviron timpo para eso
and so I grew upy haci cresi
without ignoring the tearssin ignorar el llanto
I didn't go to schoolno fui a la escula
I learned when I was olderyo aprendi de grande
letters don't come in when you're hungrylas letras no entran cundo se tiene hambre
and there's no one to lend a hand if you're poory no hay quien te da la mano si eres pobre
that's why I return to this old townpor eso vuelvo a este pueblo viejo
where life treated me so badlydonde la vida me trato tan mal
and this is my racey esta es mi raza
that I never leave for anythingque por nada dejo
even if I were to suffer againaunque volviero yo a sufrir igual
