Translation

Mienten

They lie

El amarillo sol sobre mi frente

The yellow sun on my forehead

El hijo azul que prospera en tu vientre

The blue child thriving in your womb

La vida se detuvo hace tiempo

Life stopped long ago

Y de repente

And suddenly

Mienten

They lie

La sonrisa del adolescente

The smile of the teenager

Las pretenciones de los pretendientes

The pretensions of the suitors

Miente el feliz reflejo en el espejo

The happy reflection in the mirror

De la gente

Of people lies


Y mienten

And they lie

Quien dice que no es urgente

Who says it's not urgent

Porque el fantasma del hambre

Because the ghost of hunger

Se aparece entre mi gente

Appears among my people

Y no me puedo enderezar

And I can't straighten up

Y estoy parado

And I'm standing

Naci para trabajar, naci para trabajar

I was born to work, I was born to work

Y no hay trabajo

And there's no work


Mienten

They lie

Esa agonia sobre mi pecho verde

That agony on my green chest

La mala racha de un hombre valiente

The bad streak of a brave man

Las cuatro puñaladas de esos cuatro

The four stabs from those four

Delincuentes

Criminals


Mienten

They lie

Yo te iba a dar lo que tu me pidieses

I was going to give you whatever you asked of me

Que no soy yo quien merece perderte

It's not me who deserves to lose you

Con lo que te he buscado amor mio

With how I've sought you, my love

No me dejes

Don't leave me


Y mienten

And they lie

Que nadie se llame a engaño

Let no one be deceived

Han marcado la baraja

They've marked the deck

Y me han robado la suerte

And they've stolen my luck

Y no me puedo enderezar

And I can't straighten up

Y estoy parado

And I'm standing

Naci para trabajar, naci para trabajar

I was born to work, I was born to work

Y no hay trabajo

And there's no work
