Y tú que te creías el rey de todo el mundo
And you, who thought you were the king of the whole world
Y tú que nunca fuiste capaz de perdonar
And you, who were never able to forgive
Y cruel y despiadado de todo te reias
And cruel and merciless, you laughed at everything
Hoy imploras cariño aunque sea por piedad
Today you beg for love, even if it's out of pity
A donde está el orgullo a donde está el coraje
Where is your pride, where is your courage?
Porqué hoy que estás vencido mendigas caridad
Why today, when you're defeated, do you beg for charity?
Ya vez que no es lo mismo amar que ser amado
Now you see it's not the same to love than to be loved
Hoy que estás acabado que lástima me das
Today, when you're finished, how pitiful you are
Maldito corazón me alegro que ahora sufras
Damned heart, I'm glad you suffer now
Que llores y te humilles ante este gran amor
That you cry and humble yourself before this great love
La vida es la ruleta en que apostamos todos
Life is the roulette in which we all bet
Y a tí te había tocado nomás la de ganar
And you were just meant to win it all
Pero hoy tú buena suerte la espalda te ha volteado
But today your good luck has turned its back on you
Fallaste corazón, no vuelvas a apostar
You failed, my heart, don't bet again
Maldito corazón, me alegro que ahora sufras
Cursed heart, I'm glad you're suffering now
Que llores y que te humilles ante este gran amor
That you cry and humble yourself before this great love
la vida es la ruleta en que apostamos todos
Life is the roulette in which we all bet
Y a tí te había tocado nomás la de ganar
And you were just meant to win it all
Pero hoy tú buena suerte la espalda te ha volteado
But today your good luck has turned its back on you
Fallaste corazón, no vuelvas a apostar...
You failed, my heart, don't bet again...
