Nada es gratis en la vida [English translation]
Nada es gratis en la vida [English translation]
Mom bought the condom and it broke
Which led to my birth
She couldn't scrape together the money
To end the pregnancy
She invested in my education
But on one condition
I had to swear
That I wouldn't put her in an old folks' home
Hard to believe, hard to explain
As the Trojan said, beware of Greeks bearing giftsw
With money or otherwise,
You always end up paying for a favor
And if something looks easy, I doubt it right away
Whether you pay now or later
The bill will come someday
And it's clear that nothing's free in life
Dad paid a girl in a bar
When he brought me for my first time
He went into debt to cure me
Of the infection that I caught
Yes, yes, I know
I donated sperm
But I feel bad for the recipient:
I have hereditary Alzheimer's
And as the boss commented after he raised my salary
If the charity is great enough, then even a saint would doubt it
If that's how it is, then I screwed the Devil over
When I sold him
My soul, which was not worth a dollar
I redeemed it for a claret
Neither honorary nor voluntary
I'm a thug and I demand a salary
And I don't ask for solidarity, 'cause I never do charity
My health's not free, my coffin won't be free either
And if anyone doesn't ask for their share, it's because they're not worth anything
