Текст и перевод песни Gerardo Reyes - Sin Fortuna

Sin Fortuna

Yo nací sin fortuna y sin nada
Desafiando al destino de frente
Hasta el más infeliz, me humillaba

Ignorándome toda la gente
Y de pronto mi suerte ha cambiado
Y de pronto me vi entre gran gente

Vi a esa gente fingirse dichosa
Frente a un mundo vulgar y embustero
Gente hipocrita, ruin, vanidosa

Que de nada le sirve el dinero
Que se muere lo mismo que el pobre
Y su tumba es el mismo agujero

Ahora voy por distintos caminos
Voy siguiendo tan solo al destino
Y entre pobres me siento dichoso

Si es amando, doy mi amor entero
Con los pobres, me quito el sombrero
Y desprecio hasta el más poderoso

Soy cabal y sincero les digo
He labrado mi propio destino
Yo le tiendo la mano al amigo
Pero al rico, jamás me le humillo

Yo nunca tuve el calor de un beso
Mis pobres viejos trabajaban tanto
Que nunca tuvieron tiempo para eso
Y así creci, sin ignorar el llanto

No fui a la escuela, yo aprendí de grande
Para esas cosas no alcanzaba un pobre
Las letras no entran cuando se tiene hambre
Ni hay quien te de la mano si eres pobre

Por eso vuelvo a este pueblo viejo
Donde la vida me trato tan mal
Esta es mi gente que por nada dejo
Aunque volviera yo a sufrir igual

Soy cabal y sincero les digo
He labrado mi propio destino
Yo le tiendo la mano al amigo
Pero al rico, jamás me le humillo

Without Fortune

I was born without fortune and nothing
Challenging fate head-on
Even the most unfortunate humiliated me

Everyone ignoring me
And suddenly my luck has changed
And suddenly I found myself among great people

I saw those people pretending to be happy
In front of a vulgar and lying world
Hypocritical, vile, and vain people

For whom money is worth nothing
Who die just like the poor
And whose tomb is the same hole

Now I walk different paths
I follow only destiny
And I feel happy among the poor

If it's to love, I give my love completely
To the poor, I take off my hat
And I despise even the most powerful

I am honest and sincere, I tell you
I have forged my own destiny
I lend a helping hand to my friend
But to the rich, I never humiliate myself

I never had the warmth of a kiss
My poor old folks worked so hard
That they never had time for that
And so I grew up, not unaware of crying

I didn't go to school, I learned when I was older
For these things, a poor person couldn't afford
Letters don't enter when you're hungry
Nor is there anyone to hold your hand if you're poor

That's why I'm going back to this old town
Where life treated me so badly
These are my people that I will never leave for anything
Even if I had to suffer again

I am honest and sincere, I tell you
I have forged my own destiny
I lend a helping hand to my friend
But to the rich, I never humiliate myself
