Testo: Graham Gouldman. He was born to lose.
He was born in a very bad part of town
Where the sun never shone
And the people went round with their heads hung low
There was no work to do nowhere to go
And so he was born to lose
Well he got up one morning and he switched on his TV
There was a whole lot of people
One big happy family
And he knew that's the place he had to be
So he got himself up
He brushed himself down
He read some books and he oiled his brain
He started to work and he started to train
And he knew he'd never be the same again
No more were you born to lose
Hey boy what you gonna do
When there ain't no future here for you
You gotta pick yourself up and pull yourself out
'Cause you know you were born to lose
Now he takes his place as one of the family
All together different colours and lookin' so fine
In the same place and at the same time
'Cause he pulled himself up
And got himself out
He read some books and he oiled his brain
He started to work and he started to train
And he knew he'd never be the same again
No more you were born to lose
Hey boy what you gonna do
When there ain't no future here for you
You gotta pick yourself up and pull yourself out
'Cause you know you were born to lose
Hey boy etc.

Он родился в очень плохом районе города,
Где солнце никогда не светило
И люди проходили мимо, опустив головы.
Там не было работы, некуда было пойти.
И поэтому он был рожден, чтобы проиграть.
Но одним утром он встал и включил телевизор.
В нем было много людей,
Как одна большая счастливая семья.
И понял, что это место, где он должен быть.
Так что он собрался
И попенял себе.
Он читал книги и работал головой,
Он начал работать и тренироваться.
И знал, что никогда не будет прежним.
И ты больше не рожден, чтобы проиграть.
Послушай, парень, что ты будешь делать,
Если для тебя здесь нет будущего?
Ты собирешься и выберешься отсюда,
Потому что знаешь, ты был рожден, чтобы проиграть.
Теперь он занял свое место в семье.
Все окрашено в яркие цвета и выглядит приглядно
В том же самом месте в то же самое время.
Потому что он собрался
И выбрался оттуда.
Он читал книги и работал головой,
Он начал работать и тренироваться.
И знал, что никогда не будет прежним.
И ты больше не рожден, чтобы проиграть.
