Eso me pasa

Original (Spanish)

Eso me pasa por ser tan reyPor dar el mundo bajo mis piesEso me pasa por hablar de másCreer que el golpe no iba a llegar

Creí tenerlo bajo controlCreí ser dueño de la funciónAhora es tarde y no hay qué decirDesde lo alto empecé a caer

Te dejo también una opciónUn poco más filosa y rockera

Eso me pasa por superiorPor ir mirando desde el balcónEso me pasa por no escucharCreer que nadie me iba a igualar

Creí tenerlo bajo controlCreí mandar hasta el corazónAhora es tarde y no hay redenciónLa misma cima fue mi prisión

Y una tercera, más directa y contundente

Eso me pasa por presumirPor ir de sabio y no discutirEso me pasa por no aceptarQue el que se agranda empieza a fallar

Creí tenerlo bajo controlCreí saber más que la razónAhora es tarde y no hay vuelta atrásQuise ser Dios y me vi caer

English

That's what I get for being such a kingFor laying the world beneath my feetThat's what I get for talking too muchThinking the blow would never come

I thought I had it under controlI thought I owned the whole showNow it's too late and there's nothing to sayFrom way up high I started to fall

Here's one more option for youA little sharper, a little more rock

That's what I get for acting superiorFor watching it all from the balconyThat's what I get for not listeningThinking no one would ever match me

I thought I had it under controlI thought I could even rule the heartNow it's too late and there's no redemptionThe very top became my prison

And a third one, more direct and hard-hitting

That's what I get for showing offFor playing the wise man and never arguingThat's what I get for not acceptingThat whoever gets too big starts to fail

I thought I had it under controlI thought I knew better than reasonNow it's too late and there's no turning backI wanted to be God and I watched myself fall
