Salado [English translation]

I don't know if it's because of my bad luck,

or because I was born under an unlucky star,

but I've wished for death to come,

I've suffered too much, I've cried too much,

and just as my tears, I'm jinxed.1

My wound has not healed yet

and I already got another one.

I'm just a soul going around

dragging a bitter curse.

I've suffered too much, I've cried too much

and just as my tears, I'm jinxed*.

CHORUS:

This ungrateful life has treated me badly,

the only thing it gave me was grief and suffering,

I've suffered too much, I've cried too much,

and just as my tears, I'm jinxed.

My wound has not healed yet

and I already got another one.

I'm just a soul going around

dragging a bitter curse.

I've suffered too much, I've cried too much

and just as my tears, I'm jinxed.

CHORUS:

This ungrateful life has treated me badly,

the only thing it gave me was grief and suffering,

I've suffered too much, I've cried too much,

and just as my tears, I'm really jinxed.

1. In Mexican spanish, the word for "jinxed" is "salado", which literally translates as "salty". That's the reason behind this play on words.
