No Tienes Nada Que Perder Lyrics in English Mecano
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song No Tienes Nada Que Perder by Mecano from Spanish to English.
Las cosas que te han pasado
The things that have happened to you
Son de lo más normal
Are completely normal
Tu novia te ha dejado plantado
Your girlfriend has stood you up
Y se ha ido con un soldado muy formal
And she's gone with a very proper soldier
Y no tienes nada que perder
And you've nothing to lose
No tienes nada que ganar
You've nothing to gain
Algo pasó en tu cabeza
Something happened in your head
Y empezaste a cambiar
And you started to change
Te han puesto una reja en la ventana
They've put bars on the window
De tu celda porque has querido saltar
Of your cell because you wanted to jump
Y no tienes nada que perder; no tienes nada que ganar
And you've nothing to lose; you've nothing to gain
Y por las mañanas el sol
And in the mornings the sun
Pintaba de rayas y cuadros tu cara de pájaro
Painted stripes and squares on your bird-like face
Y cuando te ibas a acostar
And when you were going to bed
La luna pintaba de rayas tu cara de pájaro
The moon painted stripes on your bird-like face
Y tú y yo
And you and I
Tenemos mucho que ver
Have much in common
Y tú y yo; y tú y yo
And you and I; and you and I
No tienes nada que perder; no tienes nada que ganar
You've nothing to lose; you've nothing to gain
Te convertiste en leyenda
You became a legend
En héroe nacional
A national hero
Te han puesto una estatua y una calle y una plaza
They've put up a statue and a street and a square
Y una flor en tu tumba
And a flower on your tomb
Y te has convertido en inmortal
And you've become immortal
No tienes nada que ganar
You've nothing to gain
Y por las mañanas el sol
And in the mornings the sun
Pintaba de rayas y cuadros tu cara de pájaro
Painted stripes and squares on your bird-like face
Y cuando te ibas a acostar
And when you were going to bed
La luna pintaba de rayas tu cara de pájaro
The moon painted stripes on your bird-like face

inmortal — immortal
Inmortal translates to "immortal." It's a striking word that evokes a sense of timelessness and legendary status, which isn't a common theme in everyday song lyrics.
In the context of the song, the protagonist, despite facing setbacks and imprisonment, ultimately transcends their struggles to become a national hero. The lyrics state, "Y te has convertido en inmortal" (And you have become immortal), signifying a transformation from an ordinary person to a figure of enduring legacy and fame. This powerful conclusion makes inmortal a captivating word choice.
