Date Un Chance (feat. Jorge Celedón)

Lyrics
Translation
Me cuentan amigo que no dejas la coartada
They tell me, friend, you don't give up the excuse
Que sigues metiéndote en camisas de once balas
That you keep getting into tricky situations
Que no quieres nada con lo bueno
That you don't want anything good
A que lo bueno para ti no vale nada
That what's good for you isn't worth anything
Te pasas la vida rebotando en las esquinas
You spend your life bouncing in the corners
Entre vicios raros mujerzuelas y cantinas
Among strange vices, loose women, and bars
Dices que es un mito lo del S.I.D.A
You say that AIDS is a myth
Que de algo hay que morirse en esta vida
That you have to die from something in this life
No lo tomes tan a la ligera
Don't take it so lightly
Vuelve a ser por Dios lo que antes eras
Return to being what you were before, for God's sake
Toma mi mano viejo amigo y date un chance
Take my hand, old friend, and give yourself a chance
No ves que tienes un futuro por delante
Can't you see you have a future ahead?
Toma mi mano viejo amigo y date un chance
Take my hand, old friend, and give yourself a chance
Dale la espalda a ese infierno delirante
Turn your back on that delirious hell
Dile no a las drogas limpia el alma
Say no to drugs, cleanse your soul
Esa Vaina de las drogas no esta en nada
That drug stuff is worth nothing
Me cuentan amigo que a tu madre le sacaste
They tell me, friend, you made your mother shed
las ultimas lagrimas de amor para inyectarte
The last tears of love to inject yourself
Que la calle a veces es como Sodoma
That the street is sometimes like Sodom
Tu madre ha dicho que, que te perdona
Your mother has said that she forgives you
No lo tomes tan a la ligera
Don't take it so lightly
Vuelve a ser por Dios lo que antes eras
Return to being what you were before, for God's sake
Toma mi mano viejo amigo y date un chance
Take my hand, old friend, and give yourself a chance
No ves que tienes un futuro por delante
Can't you see you have a future ahead?
Toma mi mano viejo amigo y date un chance
Take my hand, old friend, and give yourself a chance
Dale la espalda a ese infierno delirante
Turn your back on that delirious hell
Dile no a las drogas limpia el alma
Say no to drugs, cleanse your soul
Esa Vaina de las drogas no esta en nada
That drug stuff is worth nothing
Toma mi mano viejo amigo y date un chance
Take my hand, old friend, and give yourself a chance
No ves que tienes un camino por delante
Can't you see you have a path ahead?
Toma mi mano viejo amigo y date un chance
Take my hand, old friend, and give yourself a chance
Dale la espalda a ese infierno delirante
Turn your back on that delirious hell
Vive esa la vida
Live that life
Rompe las cadenas que te atan, dile si a la vida
Break the chains that bind you, say yes to life
A ese mundo alucinante que te mata,date un chance
To that hallucinatory world that kills you, give yourself a chance
No he venido a predicarte solo quiero ayudarte
I haven't come to preach, I just want to help you
Dile si a la vida es verdad es importante tu dignidad
Say yes to life, it's true, your dignity is important
Date un chance latino
Give yourself a chance, Latino
Dile si a la vida!
Say yes to life!
