Lyrics of Perdedor - El Tri

Perdedor (original)

Sentado en la banqueta de un eje vial
Viendo el rodar de miles de laminas
Ultimos modelos, carcachas y uno que otro transporte escolar
Taxis, peseros y colectivos
Transportan millones de seres vivos
Y todos llevan en el rostro la confianza de que pronto llegaran
Y contemplando el trafico y el ruido
Me puse a pensar en lo que he vivido
De donde vengo, a donde voy
Lo que tengo y lo que soy
Y analizando mi negro destino
Vi muchas piedras en el camino
Y esque todo lo que he querido hacer siempre me ha salido mal
Porque siempre he sido un perdedor
Siempre he tenido muy mala suerte
Y siempre contra la corriente
He tenido que remar
El tiempo pasa y el mundo gira
Y de volada se me va la vida
Y por mas que he tratado no he encontrado la forma
De meter ni un solo gol y aunque no he perdido la esperanza
Lo que he ganado nunca me alcanza
Y al sentir que tengo vacia la panza
No me queda mas que aceptar
Que siempre he sido un perdedor…

(translation)

Sitting on the sidewalk of a road axis
Watching the rolling of thousands of sheets
Latest models, clunkers and the occasional school bus
Taxis, peseros and buses
They transport millions of living beings
And they all carry on their faces the confidence that they will soon arrive
And contemplating the traffic and the noise
I began to think about what I have experienced
Where do I come from, where do I go
What I have and what I am
And analyzing my black destiny
I saw many stones on the way
And it's that everything I've wanted to do has always gone wrong
'Cause I've always been a loser
I have always had very bad luck
And always against the current
I have had to row
Time passes and the world turns
And suddenly my life is gone
And no matter how hard I've tried, I haven't found a way
To score not a single goal and although I have not lost hope
What I have won is never enough
And when I feel that my belly is empty
I have no choice but to accept
That I've always been a loser...
