Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mistake No. 3 by Culture Club from English to Spanish.
You can't bystand all the people
No puedes mirar de lejos a toda la gente
Stand them on their own
Déjalos valerse solos
They will fall to pieces
Se van a desmoronar
So we watch them grow
Así que los vemos crecer
Into strange and pretty faces
En rostros extraños y bonitos
Clutching to my lipstick traces
Aferrándose a mis rastros de pintalabios
Watch them go
Míralos irse
Make mistake number three
Comete el error número tres
It's strange how much it changes
Es extraño cuánto cambia
How they want to know
Cuánto quieren saber
How cynical are people
Qué cínica es la gente
That's where children go
Ahí es donde van los niños
Dragged into a conversation
Arrastrados a una conversación
They can't hold
Que no pueden sostener
It's so sad but it prepares them
Es muy triste pero los prepara
For the mould
Para el molde
Make mistake number three
Comete el error número tres
Why is my love like an ocean run dry?
¿Por qué mi amor es como un océano seco?
And why is my love such a struggle with life?
¿Y por qué mi amor es una lucha con la vida?
You can't bystand all the people
No puedes mirar de lejos a toda la gente
Stand them on their own
Déjalos valerse solos
They will fall to pieces
Se van a desmoronar
So we watch them grow
Así que los vemos crecer
Into strange and pretty faces
En rostros extraños y bonitos
Clutching to my lipstick traces
Aferrándose a mis rastros de pintalabios
Watch them go
Míralos irse
Make mistake number three
Comete el error número tres
