Bala Perdida Lyrics in English Beret

Home / Lyrics Translation / Beret / Bala Perdida

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bala Perdida by Beret from Spanish to English.

If love were blind we'd only fall in love with the darkness

We call affection the same person whose surname is Need

Things break by blows, others fit forever

I'm that kind of clumsy guy who won't even try

They made me to fit the world, but the world no longer remembers me

It's better to be drawn in strokes of erased ink than in shreds because of you

I don't want you to raise your hand at me; I'd rather offer myself

Let it only be to jump with me into disaster so we can be happy

I'm starting to accept that the problem is mine after blaming, and I'm

The one that can't have you because he doesn't believe in eternity, and today

We say "I love you" waiting for an "I love you", and that's how we show it

If you want to know who'll save your life, look at yourself in the mirror

And at last you'll know

I live life more conditioned than truly in good conditions

I call normal what everybody does, knowing there're a thousand mistakes

I set limits on myself without knowing myself

Without knowing where my mind will end up

We're humans who, faced with problems, sometimes fight like gods

Thanks for turning me into a thousand pieces; that way I can see myself better

Why does nobody know what we are inside until it hurts on the outside?

The coin tossed in the air has shown its face more times than I have for anything

I like you better broken than when you fix yourself; that way you don't lie to me, my love

I myself ended up whispering to the devil who was on my shoulder, and he leaves

If it's better alone than badly accompanied, loneliness already keeps me company

I don't know what's emptier, the bottle or me; I don't even want to look

Maybe choosing the cage you live in can be called freedom

I'm more afraid of being alone with myself than with you, and I know

That at least today I have control over the disorder that only I created

If I'm a stray bullet it'll be because I'm suicidal

And life hands me the same gun I came out of

To kill myself again

SONG MEANING

Bala Perdida (Spanish for Stray Bullet) fires straight into the heart of self-doubt and messy love. Beret paints a picture of someone who confuses affection with necesidad, breaks apart only to understand himself better, and realizes that the only true lifesaver is the person staring back from the mirror. Amid clever wordplay like “si el amor fuese ciego, sólo nos enamoraríamos de la oscuridad,” the singer questions society’s so-called “normal,” laughs at fate’s coin tosses, and admits that he often prefers honest brokenness to polished lies.

Behind the upbeat urban-pop vibe lies a raw confession: the narrator feels like a stray bullet, shot from life’s own pistol, ricocheting between loneliness, fear, and the hope of genuine connection. He owns his chaos, refuses quick fixes, and invites us to jump with him “al desastre” if that is the only way to be truly happy. In short, the song is a powerful reminder that embracing our cracks, rather than hiding them, is what finally sets us free.
