Lyrics

Me cuentan amigo
Que no dejas la cuardada
Que sigues metiendote
En camisas de once baras
Que no tienes nada con lo bueno
Que lo bueno para ti, no vale nada
Te pasas la vida rebotando en las esquinas
Entre vicios raros, mujersuelas y cantinas
Dices que es un mito, lo del sida
Que de algo hay que morirse en esta vida
No lo tomes tan a la ligera
Vuelve a ser por Dios lo que antes eraaas
Toma mi mano, viejo amigo y date un chance
No ves que tienes un futuropor delante
Toma mi mano, viejo amigo y date un chance
Dale la espalda a ese infierno delirante
Dile no a las drogas limpia el alma
Esa baina de las drogas no esta en nadaa
Me cuentan amigo, que a tu madre le sacaste
Las ultimas lagrimas de amor para inyectarte
Que la caña aveces es, como sodoma
Tu madre ha dicho que, que te perdonaaa
No lo tomes tan a la ligera
Vuelve a ser por Dios lo que antes eraaas
Toma mi mano, viejo amigo y date un chance
No ves que tienes un futuropor delante
Toma mi mano, viejo amigo y date un chance
Dale la espalda a ese infierno delirante
Dile no a las drogas, limpia el alma
Esa baina de las drogas no esta en nadaa
Dile no a las drogas, limpia el alma
Esa baina de las drogas, no esta en nada
Toma mi mano viejo amigo y date un chance
No ves que tienes un camino por delante
Toma mi mano viejo amigo y date un chance
Dale la espalda a ese infierno delirante
(Toma mi mano viejo amigo y date un chance)
Rooompe las cadenas que te atan
(Dile si a la vida)
A ese mundo alucinante que te mata
(Date un chance)
No he venido a predicarte
Solo quiero ayudartee
(Dile si a la viiida)
Es verdaad, no señoor
Es importante tu dignidad
(Date un chanceee)
Dile si a la vida

Lyrics translation

Tell me friend
That you don't give up on me
That you keep getting involved
In eleven-bar shirts
That you have nothing to do with the good
That what's good for you is worth nothing
You spend your life bouncing around the corners
Among rare vices, Womans and canteens
You say it's a myth, the AIDS thing.
That something must die in this life
Don't take it so lightly
Go back to God what you used to be
Take my hand, old friend and give yourself a chance
Don't you see that you have a future ahead of you
Take my hand, old friend and give yourself a chance
Turn your back on that delusional hell
Say no to drugs cleanse the soul
That drug den is nowhere to be found.
They tell me, my friend, that you took your mother out.
The last tears of love to inject you
That the pipe sometimes is, like Sodom
Your mother said that she forgives you
Don't take it so lightly
Go back to God what you used to be
Take my hand, old friend and give yourself a chance
Don't you see that you have a future ahead of you
Take my hand, old friend and give yourself a chance
Turn your back on that delusional hell
Say no to drugs, cleanse the soul
That drug den is nowhere to be found.
Say no to drugs, cleanse the soul
That drug den, it's not in anything.
Take my hand old friend and give it a chance
Don't you see you have a path ahead of you
Take my hand old friend and give it a chance
Turn your back on that delusional hell
(Take my hand old friend and give it a chance)
Rooompe the chains that bind you
(Say yes to life)
To that mind-blowing world that kills you
(Date a chance)
I'm not here to preach to you.
I just want to help you.
(Tell the viiida)
It's true, sir.
Your dignity is important
(Date a chanceee)
Say yes to life
