Sin Fortuna
Gerardo Reyes
Without fortune
I was born without fortune and with nothing
Challenging destiny head on
Even the unhappiest humiliated me
All the people ignoring me
Suddenly my luck has changed
And suddenly I saw myself among the people
And those people pretending to be happy
Faced with a vulgar and lying world
Hypocritical, mean, vain people
That money is of no use to you
That the same thing dies as the poor man
And his grave is the same hole
Now I'm going down different paths
I am following only destiny
And among the poor I feel happy
If it is loving I give my entire love
I take my hat off to the poor
And I despise even the most powerful
I am honest and sincere I tell you
I have carved my own destiny
I extend my hand to my friend
But the rich man never humiliated me
I never had the warmth of a kiss
My poor old people worked so hard
They never had time for that
And so I grew
Without ignoring the crying
I did not go to school
I learned big
The letters do not enter when you are hungry
And there is no one to give you your hand if you are poor
That's why I return to this old town
Where life treated me so badly
And this is my race
that I leave for nothing
Even if I suffered the same again
I am honest and sincere I tell you
I have carved my own destiny
I extend my hand to my friend
But the rich man never humiliated me
