Dicen
Jarabe de Palo
Lyrics
Translation
Dicen que venimos al mundo a sufrir
They say we come into the world to suffer
Que la vida es un engaño
That life is a deception
Que si juegas tienes que jugar a ganar
That if you play, you have to play to win
Que eres lo que tienes
That you are what you have
Y tienes lo que mereces
And you have what you deserve
Vives, ganas, pierdes
You live, you win, you lose
Dicen que es así
They say that's how it is
Dicen que no queda nada por descubrir
They say there's nothing left to discover
Que ya está todo inventado
That everything is already invented
Que solo hay un camino que hay que seguir
That there's only one path to follow
Que aquí estamos de paso
That we're just passing through
Y mejor no tentar a la suerte
And it's better not to tempt fate
Suerte, vida, muerte
Luck, life, death
Dicen que es así
They say that's how it is
Y a veces dicen, dicen, dicen
And sometimes they say, say, say
Y no saben lo que dicen
And they don't know what they're saying
Yo he venido a este mundo a vivir
I came to this world to live
La vida es un regalo
Life is a gift
Y si juego es porque me gusta jugar
And if I play, it's because I like to play
No soy ni más ni menos
I'm neither more nor less
Ni sé qué es lo que me merezco
I don't know what I deserve
Siento, vivo, pienso
I feel, I live, I think
Que más puedo pedir
What more can I ask for
Y a veces dicen, dicen, dicen
And sometimes they say, say, say
Y no saben lo que dicen
And they don't know what they're saying
Dicen que venimos al mundo a sufrir
They say we come into the world to suffer
Que la vida es un engaño
That life is a deception
Dicen que si juegas juega para ganar
They say that if you play, play to win
Que vivir es un pecado
That living is a sin
Dicen que no queda nada por descubrir
They say there's nothing left to discover
Que ya está todo inventado
That everything is already invented
Dicen que solo hay un camino a seguir
They say there's only one path to follow
Que aquí estamos de paso
That we're just passing through
Y a veces dicen, dicen, dicen
And sometimes they say, say, say
Y no saben lo que dicen
And they don't know what they're saying
