Vida ingrata [English translation]

Here you see me in this paste

Where there's only place for the toughest

They sting you with the funnel law:

"Wide for them and narrow for us "

On TV a guy complains about the world being hostile

And about going to peacekeeping missions armed with a gun

Because as a builder he earns four pesos.

While the TV show diva's dog earns a hundred

And he seemed to say the truth

He who seeks and shall not find loses control

And he who's not lost always has a GPS

No way to handle this dyslexia

God feeds those who suffer from anorexia

You want love and he wants a touch and go

Luck says goodbye when you say hi

It looks like a reality show

It's darker than an Allan Poe's tale

I don't do favours anymore

What an ungrateful life, destiny unties everything I tie

What an ungrateful life, it spanks you.

What an ungrateful life, it evens the score just when I'm winning

What an ungrateful life, it always takes what it gives

You barely glow and that glow blinds you

Hands get old but not rings

It's unfair!

The one you like doesn't like you and the one you don't like does like you

While you're freezing others go to a sauna

Your boyfriend left you once you healed his trauma

They take a swipe when you're kneeling

Life doesn't smile at you even if you tickle it

And everything goes to waste

What an ungrateful life, you win the lottery the day you die

What an ungrateful life, it spanks you

What an ungrateful life, only a bullet left and you miss the hit

What an ungrateful life, it always takes what it gives

That amnesia gets me if there's something good to recall

Bad memories always last longer

No compassion anymore, there's plenty if I don't want it

But just when I need it, it's likely to be over

What an ungrateful life!

What an ungrateful life!

What an ungrateful life, it always takes what it gives

What an ungrateful life, destiny unties everything I tie

What an ungrateful life, it spanks you.

What an ungrateful life, it evens the score just when I'm winning

What an ungrateful life, it always takes what it gives
