Translation of the song lyrics El perdedor - Aventura

El perdedor (original)

(Hay un dicho:
No se sabe lo que se tiene hasta que se pierde...
Es la verdad)
Te vi llorar
viviste la monotonía
y te escuchaba hablar
pero era él que te entendía.
Y me robó ese tesoro de duende
y ahora comprendo el valor
que no se tapan los defectos con pretextos,
y en cambio siento rencor.
Ay, ve y dile que lo odio y lo detesto
por tener lo que fue mío
aunque el culpable he sido yo,
que hoy lo considero un enemigo
lamentando mi perdida
en la batalla por tu amor.
Recálcale que no duermo de noche
imaginando que en el sexo
él te devora con pasión.
Me falta valentía para admitirle que a tu lado
fui un chiquillo y su hombría superó.
Agrégale que hoy yo me revelo envidioso
egoista impulsivo sin control
por creer que yo era el único
que tu amarías.
Que estúpido
fulano con el premio
y yo el perdedor.
(The Kings)
Lo vi llegar
y no pensé que importaría.
Y te empezaba a conquistar
convirtiéndote en mi enemiga.
Y me robó ese tesoro de duende
y ahora comprendo el valor
que no se tapan los defectos con pretextos
y en cambio siento rencor.
Ay, ve y dile que lo odio y lo detesto
por tener lo que fue mío
aunque el culpable he sido yo,
que hoy lo considero un enemigo
lamentando mi perdida
en la batalla por tu amor.
Recálcale que no duermo de noche
imaginando que en el sexo
él te devora con pasión.
Me falta madurez para admitirle que a tu lado
fui un chiquillo y su hombría superó.
Agrégale que hoy yo me revelo envidioso
egoista impulsivo sin control
por creer que yo era el único
que tu amarías.
Que estúpido
fulano con el premio
y yo el perdedor.

(translation)

(There's a saying:
You don't know what you have until you lose it...
It's true)
I saw you cry
you lived the monotony
and listened to you speak
but it was he who understood you.
And he stole that goblin treasure from me
and now I understand the value
that defects are not covered with excuses,
and instead I feel resentment.
Ay, go and tell him that I hate him and I detest him
for having what was mine
although I was the culprit,
that today I consider him an enemy
mourning my loss
in the battle for your love.
Emphasize that I don't sleep at night
imagining that in sex
he devours you with passion.
I lack the courage to admit that by your side
I was a boy and his manhood surpassed.
Add that today I reveal myself envious
uncontrollable impulsive egoist
for believing that I was the only one
that you would love
how stupid
so-and-so with the award
and I the loser.
(The King's)
I saw it arrive
And I didn't think it would matter.
And he began to conquer you
making you my enemy.
And he stole that goblin treasure from me
and now I understand the value
that the defects are not covered with excuses
and instead I feel resentment.
Ay, go and tell him that I hate him and I detest him
for having what was mine
although I was the culprit,
that today I consider him an enemy
mourning my loss
in the battle for your love.
Emphasize that I don't sleep at night
imagining that in sex
he devours you with passion.
I lack maturity to admit that by your side
I was a boy and his manhood surpassed.
Add that today I reveal myself envious
uncontrollable impulsive egoist
for believing that I was the only one
that you would love
how stupid
so-and-so with the award
and I the loser.
