Cuando Me Entrés a Fallar

I've rolled like a little ball of street kid
And I'm ugly and bruised from the hits, what do you want?
How many times with a four to a bet I said I want!
And again I went to the deck with thirty-three to spare
I met you when my folder started to fail me
You won me over with kindness little by little
A man like a horse, when he reaches the finish line
Loosens the reins and becomes gentle and affectionate

You are good, there is not a single reproach
And you are for me a selfless and loyal friend
A star in the sadness of my night
A mask of laughter in my poor carnival
You twisted my life, you got in my way
To enlighten me with laughter, with love and pleasure
And I started to love you, by that law of destiny
Without realizing that I was already too old to love

Old?... because I'm afraid you'll outsmart me
Old?... because I suspect you want to trap me
Because I'm realizing that my life was fictional
And because I have another way of seeing and philosophizing
However, still, if I square up and get pushed
I can show anyone that I know how to make myself respected
I love you like my mother, but I have plenty of courage
To make you jump up
