Cartas marcadas [English translation]

For all insults you did to me,

in exchange for the pain that was left,

for the immense hours of the remembrance,

I want to dedicate this song to you.

When I sing there’s no reproach that would hurt us,

you can both curse and bless.

With the music the moon keeps awake

and the sun is late when it wants to leave.

I don’t want to cry, I don’t wait for you any longer,

now I want to smile, I want to live.

If we are going to enjoy life, I’m the first one

and when I sing them they have to dance.

From now on I am the bad one.

I play just with the marked cards

and you will see that I will always win.

Don’t come back, ‘cause I will make lose even you...
