Unas Veces Se Gana Y Otros Se Pierde [English translation]

I've gone down to the port and I've listened

To the boat sirens, that were arriving from the high seas.

Transatlantic ships that have never set sail

You're not made for the water

If you don't want to get wet.

I've hung on in the exit line

Until I hear that shot that marks a signal

But the panic of failure holds me back,

Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.

I've looked into the depths of your eyes,

With dilated pupils, like a tunnel without end.

The memories have remained blurred,

Like muddy puddles

After the storm.

They're the coals of an extinguished flame

Where I left life trying to make it more interesting.

Why am I wasting time trying to convince you?

Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.

The women and children go first

The rescue has started.

Captains that go down with their ship

What became of them? No one knows.

I learned to lick my own wounds

Be reborn from my ashes

And start again.

What am I wasting time trying to convince you?

Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose,

And sometimes you lose.
