Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La balada by El Tri from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Alguna vez pensé que podías
I once thought you could
Llegar a quererme
Getting to love me
Pero no era verdad
But it wasn't true.
Y es que eso es imposible
And that's impossible.
Pues soy un perdedor
Well, I'm a loser
Un pobre diablo
A poor devil
Un alcohólico
An alcoholic
No puedo recordar
I can't remember
En que podía dormirme
Where I could fall asleep
Ahora por más que trato
Now no matter how much I try
No puedo conciliar el sueño
I can't fall asleep
Tengo que esperar hasta el amanecer
I have to wait until dawn
Para poderme arrullar
To be able to lull me
Y porque mucho que me duerma
And because I sleep a lot
No logro descansar
I can't rest
Y me estoy suicidando lentamente
And I'm slowly committing suicide.
Estoy acabando
I'm finishing
Con mi vientre
With my belly
Desde lo más profundo de mi corazón
From the bottom of my heart
Le pido a Dios
I pray to God
Que me dé fuerzas para
May it give me strength to
Poder dejar el vicio
Being able to quit the vice
Pues soy un infeliz
Well, I'm unhappy
Un pobre diablo
A poor devil
Un alcohólico
An alcoholic
Y luego me arrepiento
And then I regret it
Y andando briago
And walking briago
Y andando briago
And walking briago
Ya no me rolo ni un trago
I don't take a drink anymore
