[English]
(The day of my luck will soon arrive)
(I know that before my death, my luck will surely change)
(The day of my luck will soon arrive)
(I know that before my death, my luck will surely change)
When I was a child, my mom died (boom, boom)
She left me all alone with the old man
He told me: "You will never be alone" (boom, boom)
Because an illness was waiting for me
At 10 years old, Dad died (eh-eh)
He went to the afterlife with Mom
And people would say when they saw me crying
Don't cry, kid, because your luck will change
And when will that be?
(The day of my luck will soon arrive)
(I know that before my death, my luck will surely change) Listen to me
(The day of my luck will soon arrive)
(I know that before my death, my luck will surely change)
I was left waiting for my luck (boom, boom)
But my life took a different turn
Surviving in a reality (boom, boom)
From which I could not escape
To eat, you have to earn a buck (eh-eh)
Even if it’s against society's rules
From jail, my friendship writes to you
Don't worry, your luck will change
Hey, you'll see
...
(The day of my luck will soon arrive)
(I know that before my death, my luck will surely change)
(The day of my luck will soon arrive)
(I know that before my death, my luck will surely change)
Now I find myself here in my solitude (boom, boom)
Thinking about what will become of my life
I have nowhere to return to (boom, boom)
And I don't want to bother anyone either
If fate betrays me again (eh-eh)
I swear I cannot fail
I am tired of waiting so long
And I am sure my luck will change
And when will that be?
(The day of my luck will soon arrive)
(I know that before my death, my luck will surely change)
(The day of my luck will soon arrive)
(I know that before my death, my luck will surely change)
I have already suffered my share of life (boom, boom)
Without an inferiority complex
That’s why I don’t get tired of waiting (boom, boom)
Because one day God will help me
And the day it happens, listen to me (eh-eh)
I will help everyone
Because sooner or later you will see
How the day of my luck will arrive, you'll see
...
(Now it's time)
...
(Catch me, I'm going full speed)
...
(The day of my luck will soon arrive)
(I know that before my death, my luck will surely change)
(The day of my luck will soon arrive)
(I know that before my death, my luck will surely change)
Many times I sit and contemplate (boom, boom)
That I have never done anyone wrong
Why must life treat me this way? (boom, boom)
If all I search for is happiness
I try to please humanity (eh-eh)
But my fortune here has been fatal
I haven't lost the hope of fighting
And surely my luck will change
But, when will that be?
(The day of my luck will soon arrive)
(I know that before my death, my luck will surely change)
(The day of my luck will soon arrive)
(I know that before my death, my luck will surely change)
I have to spend my life waiting (boom, boom)
I won't be able to bear this martyrdom
And I ask until when will it last (boom, boom)
And also if I'll be able to endure it
If fate betrays me again (eh-eh)
I swear I cannot fail
I am tired of waiting so long
And I am sure my luck will change
But, when will that be?
