A Cara O Cruz Lyrics in English Ricardo Arjona
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Cara O Cruz by Ricardo Arjona from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
El azar es la metáfora perfecta
Chance is the perfect metaphor
De quien le busca inspiración a la tristeza
For those who seek inspiration in sadness
El destino es la cuartada sigilosa
Destiny is the stealthy alibi
De quien lo pretende todo y nunca acierta
Of those who want everything and never get it right
Mientras el destino asoma su perfil
While destiny shows its profile
El presente se debate con la muerte
The present struggles with death
Como quien se juega el todo por el todo
Like someone who risks it all
Como una moneda puesta al viento
Like a coin tossed to the wind
Chorus 1
Jugando siempre, apostando siempre
Always playing, always betting
A cara o cruz, ante la incrucijada
Heads or tails, at the crossroads
Chorus 1
Revisas las cosas que pudieron pasar
You review the things that could have happened
Y que se suspendieron, por verlas
And that were suspended, to see them
Girando en el viento
Spinning in the wind
Chorus 1
A cara o cruz, te jugaste los besos
Heads or tails, you gambled the kisses
Los sueños, el llanto y la cordura mortal
The dreams, the tears, and the mortal sanity
De ignorar el futuro, y escoger al amor de tu vida
Of ignoring the future, and choosing the love of your life
A cara o cruz
Heads or tails
Verse 2
Mientras que en la ventana se escurre el tiempo
While time slips away at the window
Mientras la moneda da vuelvas, al viento
While the coin spins in the wind
Un beso te perfuma la existencia
A kiss perfumes your existence
Mujer de corazon partido en dos
Woman with a heart split in two
Dime a cual mitad yo pertenezco
Tell me to which half I belong
Lo que para ti es tremenda incrucijada
What for you is a tremendous crossroads
Para mi es amar la incertidumbre
For me is loving uncertainty
Lo que para ti es borron y cuenta nueva
What for you is a clean slate
Para mi es principio o final
For me is beginning or end
Jugando siempre, apostando siempre
Always playing, always betting
A cara o cruz, ante la incrucijada
Heads or tails, at the crossroads
Revisas las cosas que pudieron pasar
You review the things that could have happened
Y que se suspendieron, por verlas
And that were suspended, to see them
Girando en el viento
Spinning in the wind
A cara o cruz, te jugaste los besos
Heads or tails, you gambled the kisses
Los sueños, el llanto y la cordura mortal
The dreams, the tears, and the mortal sanity
De ignorar el futuro, y escoger al amor de tu vida

A cara o cruz
Heads or tails
