Monei

I wanted a mansion in Carrasco
but all I got was a little ranch in Casabó.
I wanted to drive a Mercedes Benz
but now I only drive a 126.

I'm a born loser, and they'll always know
as the old saying goes:
if you're born a monkey, you'll never become Tarzan.

I want money.

I wanted to sunbathe in the Caribbean
but for now, I just surf at Ramirez beach.
I wanted to go to jet set parties
but the Coco dances were the closest I got.

I'm a born loser, and they show no mercy
as in Rodó's parable:
if you're born for the latrine, you'll never reach the water closet.

I want money.

I wanted to dress in Christian Dior
not in this moth-eaten sweatshirt my grandma knitted.
I wanted to eat caviar and pheasant
not picking parsley from my teeth after a choripán.

I'm a born loser, and they have no heart
as that old song said:
if you're born a pill, you'll never become a sausage.

I want money.
