Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mienten by Juan Carlos Baglietto from Spanish to English.
El amarillo sol sobre mi frente
The yellow sun on my forehead
El hijo azul que prospera en tu vientre
The blue son that thrives in your womb
La vida se detuvo hace tiempo
Life stopped a long time ago
La sonrisa del adolescente
The teenager's smile
Las pretensiones de los pretendientes
The claims of the suitors
Miente el feliz reflejo en el espejo
Lies the happy reflection in the mirror
De alguna gente
of some people
Quién dice que no es urgente
Who says it's not urgent
Porque el fantasma del hambre
Because the ghost of hunger
Se aparece entre mi gente
He appears among my people
Y no me puedo enderezar
And I can't straighten up
Y estoy parado
and I'm standing
Nací para trabajar, nací para trabajar
I was born to work, I was born to work
Y no hay trabajo
and there is no work
Esa agonía sobre mi pecho verde
That agony on my green chest
La mala racha de un hombre valiente
The bad streak of a brave man
Las cuatro puñaladas de esos cuatro
The four stab wounds of those four
Yo te iba a dar lo que tú me pidieses
I was going to give you what you asked for
Que no soy yo quien merece perderte
That it's not me who deserves to lose you
Con lo que te he buscado amor mío
With what I have looked for you my love
No me dejes
Do not leave Me
Que nadie se llame a engaño
Let no one be fooled
Han marcado la baraja
They have marked the deck
Y me han robado la suerte
And they have stolen my luck
Y no me puedo enderezar
And I can't straighten up
Y estoy parado
and I'm standing
Nací para trabajar, nací para trabajar
I was born to work, I was born to work
Y no hay trabajo
and there is no work
