Ella era bonita, él serio y callado
Mi peor enemiga los ha presentado, ay
Los ha presentado
Guardé mi libreta de chistes sin gracia
Me fui a aquellos sitios de olor a desgracia, ay
De olor a desgracia
She was beautiful, he serious and quiet
My worst enemy introduced them, oh,
Introduced them
I put away my notebook of unfunny jokes
I went to those places that smell of misfortune, oh
Smell of misfortune
Su imagen que estaba fiel como retrato
De mí fui borrando con licor barato
Le dije a mi llanto “Deja que se vaya
Que es así la vida, se acierta y se falla” ay
Se acierta y se falla
Her image, once loyal like a portrait,
I started erasing with cheap liquor.
I told my tears, “Let her go,
That’s how life is—you win some, you lose some,”
You win some, you lose some
El tiempo le ha dado como resultado
Dos caritas sucias y un rostro marcado, ay
Por su enamorado
Fue su única culpa haberse entregado
A aquel loco enfermo que la ha traicionado, ay
Que la ha traicionado
Time has left its mark,
Two little dirty faces and a scarred one,
Scarred by her lover.
Her only mistake was giving herself
To a madman who betrayed her,
Who betrayed her
Su imagen que estaba fiel como retrato
De mí fui borrando con licor barato
Le dije a mi llanto “Deja que se vaya
Que es así la vida, se acierta y se falla”
Her image, once loyal like a portrait,
I started erasing cheap liquor.
I told my tears, “Let her go,
That’s how life is—you win some, you lose some,”
Desde entonces pienso, “Mujeres bonitas
Envueltas en celos terminan solitas”
Desgraciadamente vivir no se ensaya
Por eso en la vida se acierta y se falla, ay
Se acierta y se falla
Since then, I’ve thought, “Beautiful women
Wrapped in jealousy end up alone.”
Sadly, life doesn’t come with rehearsals;
That’s why in life, sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose, oh,
Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose
