Estando arruinado en la acera

Ella entró por la puerta, yo quise montar en su noria

Mi gran serenata en sus labios de miel

Bella era una dama y mi cama un burdel
Bella was a lady and my bed a brothel

Cero silicón, viví comedido en mi rincón
Zero silicone, I lived in my corner
Mi jardín de pasión, su carmín, su tacón

Su trajín, subí con ella por fin a habitación y
Her trajín, I went up with her at last to room and
Era un tranvía llamado deseo

Yo el patito feo ahogado en un vaso

A un solo paso perdí mi trofeo

Aquel mausoleo era tan sólo mi fracaso

Mi marcapasos, un tren

Yo era un fracasado, el edén
I was a loser, Eden
De los cientos de hombres condenados, amén
Of the hundreds of men convicted, amen
Man! más no todo es fortuna
Man! but it's not all fortune
No todo es fracaso, no todo es en balde
It's not all failure, it's not all for nothing
Hervida mi sangre, vinagre en la herida
Boil my blood, vinegar in the wound
Quizá en otra vida, a esta ya llego tarde
Maybe in another life, I'm late for this one
