A Cara O Cruz Lyrics in English Aleks Syntek

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Cara O Cruz by Aleks Syntek from Spanish to English.
El sabor de la uva morena
The taste of the dark grape
Me gustó, el de la rubia también
I liked it, the blonde one's too
Dicen que voy por la mala senda
They say I'm on the wrong path
La tierra tiembla bajo mis pies
The earth trembles beneath my feet
Y es que el amor es una enfermedad
And it's that love is a disease
Que una vez contraída no se cura
That once contracted, cannot be cured
Y por más que uno quiera cordura
And no matter how much one wants sanity
Y se contagia con facilidad
And it's easily contagious
Si en el árbol del bien y del mal
If on the tree of good and evil
Eres fruta prohibida, tú
You are forbidden fruit, you
No me juegues una mala partida
Don't play a dirty trick on me
Yo mordí por instinto animal
I bit out of animal instinct
Pongamos la cosa clara
Let's make things clear
Busquemos alguna luz
Let's look for some light
Lo echamos a cara o cruz
We'll flip a coin
O lo hacemos por la cara
Or we do it for free
Fui a preguntarle al doctor
I went to ask the doctor
Si es que soy un caso normal
If I'm a normal case
O si es mi destino fatal
Or if it's my fatal destiny
El estar de tan mal humor
To be in such a bad mood
Porque todos me rehuyen si me ven así
Because everyone avoids me if they see me like this
Será que tengo una pinta muy rara
Could it be that I look very strange
O se creen que me he vuelto majara
Or they think I've gone crazy
Mas cuando quiero estar solo vienen a por mí
But when I want to be alone, they come for me
No le reconozco, me dijo el doctor
I don't recognize him, the doctor told me
Pues no sé dónde va usted a parar
Well, I don't know where you're going to end up
Si hasta su sombra ha empezado a cambiar
If even your shadow has started to change
Y en el caos no hay error
And in chaos there is no error
Eso me dijo el doctor
That's what the doctor told me
La cosa pierde color
Things lose color
Cuando la piensas dos veces
When you think about it twice
Y más dispuesto pareces
And you seem more willing
A pensar en lo peor
To think about the worst
Esta noche hay rocanrol, vecino
Tonight there's rock and roll, neighbor
Pero ha empezado a llover
But it has started to rain
Los del grupo ya están en camino
The band members are already on their way
Y no sabemos qué hacer
And we don't know what to do
Vamos a ver dijo Don Rufio Datura
Let's see, said Don Rufio Datura
Por qué tenéis que perder la razón
Why do you have to lose your mind
Pues sin esfuerzo consigue natura
For without effort nature achieves
Lo que ansía vuestro corazón
What your heart longs for
No esperes hoy la tormenta de ayer
Don't expect yesterday's storm today
No dura siempre las pena de este infierno
The pain of this hell doesn't last forever
Y aunque el azul del cielo no es eterno
And although the blue of the sky isn't eternal
Hasta mañana no vuelve a llover
It won't rain again until tomorrow
Nunca se puede saber
You can never know
Lo que va a ocurrir mañana
What's going to happen tomorrow
Salvo que a un fin de semana
Except that after a weekend
Sigue un lunes otra vez
A Monday follows again
La cosa pierde color
Things lose color
Cuando la piensas dos veces
When you think about it twice
Y más dispuesto pareces
And you seem more willing
A pensar en lo peor
To think about the worst
Pongamos la cosa clara
Let's make things clear
Busquemos alguna luz
Let's look for some light
Lo echamos a cara o cruz
We'll flip a coin
O lo hacemos por la cara
Or we do it for free

Did you like this lyrics translation?

majara — crazy / mad

Majara is a colloquial and somewhat informal Spanish word meaning 'crazy' or 'mad'. It's not as common as 'loco' and adds a unique, almost playful, touch to the lyrics.

In the song, the narrator wonders if people avoid him because he looks strange or if they think he's "majara" (crazy). This word choice perfectly captures the character's self-deprecating humor and adds a distinctive flavor to the song's narrative about feeling out of place.
