Lyrics and translation Jorge Celedón feat. Luis Enrique - Date un Chance

Date un Chance

Me cuentan amigo que no dejas la coartada,
Que sigues metiendote en camisas de once varas,
Que no quieres nada con lo bueno que lo bueno para ti no vale nada,
Te pasas la vida rebotando en las esquinas
Entre vicios raros mujerzuelas y cantinas,
Dices que es un mito lo del s.i.d.a.,
Que de algo hay que morirse en esta vida,
No lo tomes tan a la ligera,
Vuelve a ser por dios lo que antes eras.

Toma mi mano viejo amigo y date un chance,
No ves que tienes un futuro por delante,
Toma mi mano viejo amigo y date un chance
Dale la espalda a ese infierno delirante,
Dile no a las drogas limpia el alma
Esa VAINA de las drogas no esta en nada.

Me cuentan amigo que a tu madre
Le sacaste las ultimas lagrimas de amor para inyectarte,
Que la calle a veces es como Sodoma,
Tu madre ha dicho que .que te perdona.

No lo tomes tan a la ligera
Vuelve a ser por dios lo que antes eras...

Toma mi mano viejo amigo y date un chance,
No ves que tienes un camino por delante.

Toma mi mano viejo amigo y date un chance,
Dale la espalda a ese infierno delirante.

Rompe las cadenas que te atan, dile si a la vida
A ese mundo alucinante que te mata, date un chance,
No he venido a predicarte solo quiero ayudarte,
Dile si a la vida es verdad es importante tu dignidad,
Date un chance "LATINO"

Give Yourself A Chance

They tell me, friend, that you don't let go of the evasion,
That you keep getting into situations that are too much for you,
That you don't want anything good because what's good for you is worthless,
You spend your life bouncing around in the corners,
Between strange vices, loose women, and bars,
You say AIDS is just a myth,
That there are other ways to die in this life,
Don't take it so lightly,
Go back to being what you used to be, for God's sake.

Take my hand, old friend, and give yourself a chance,
Can't you see that you have a future ahead of you?
Take my hand, old friend, and give yourself a chance,
Turn your back on this delirious hell,
Say no to drugs, cleanse your soul,
That DRUG THING is not worth it.

They tell me, friend, that you,
Took your mother's last tears of love to inject yourself,
That the streets are sometimes like Sodom,
Your mother has said that she forgives you.

Don't take it so lightly,
Go back to being what you used to be, for God's sake...

Take my hand, old friend, and give yourself a chance,
Can't you see that you have a path ahead of you?

Take my hand, old friend, and give yourself a chance,
Turn your back to this crazy hell.

Break the chains that bind you, say yes to life,
To that crazy world that's killing you, give yourself a chance,
I didn't come to preach to you, I just want to help you,
Say yes to life, it's true, your dignity is important,
Give yourself a chance, "LATINO"
