Translation

Con los zapatos rotos

With broken shoes

Va caminando maría la loca

Maria the crazy is walking

Va por la calle ocho

She's on Calle Ocho

Ocho razones, ocho derrotas

Eight reasons, eight defeats


La vida que es la vida

Life, which is life

Le ha dado harapos y no fortuna

Has given her rags, not fortune

Su corazón un trapo

Her heart, a rag

Remiendos mucho y fe ninguna

Patches aplenty and no faith


Ahí viene

Here comes

María la loca

Maria the crazy

Ahí va

There she goes

Desgracia encima

Misfortune upon her

Ahí viene

Here comes

Vaya bicoca

What a sight

Ahí va

There she goes

Hay quien se arrima

Some get close


Nadie sabe

Nobody knows

Que ella tiene pena en el alma

That she has sorrow in her soul

Los amores de un caballero

The loves of a gentleman

Dejaron su piel marcada

Left their mark on her skin


Con la mirada abajo

With her gaze down

Huye del mundo maría la loca

Maria the crazy runs from the world

Sueña con un pasado

She dreams of a past

Pasado el tiempo nadie lo nota

Over time, no one notices


Vive en la misma cale

She lives on the same street

Noche tras noche la misma cuna

Night after night, the same cradle

Habla con la botella

She talks to the bottle

Querida amiga de su amargura

Dear friend of her bitterness


Ahí viene...

Here comes...


Nadie sabe

Nobody knows

Que ella tiene pena en el alma

That she has sorrow in her soul

Los amores de un caballero

The loves of a gentleman

Dejaron su piel marcada

Left their mark on her skin


Rompe con la luna

She breaks with the moon

Que ya viene el sol

As the sun is coming

Y llega la mañana

And morning arrives

Busca algún refugio

She looks for some refuge

Pa'tu corazón

For your heart

Y el gallo canta

And the rooster crows
