Spanish term
ganan los mismos
Non-PRO
Spanish to English
Art/Literary
Poetry & Literature
Vente, quien no siente miente
frente a sí mismo se pierde
-puede que nunca me diera más cuenta-
a cámara siempre se ve
Imagínate! Imagínate!
Este es un tiempo propicio pa la modestia
como el sol dá luz al día, fuerza y claridad se manifiestan
sin importar latitud, altitud, época del año
cambia moneda, ganan los mismos, ver cada día otro engaño.
Just "winning the same"? Or is there a deeper idomatic meaning here?

it's always the same old story
the frase before it expresses the same feeling

the players are different, the tune (or the music) is the same
me parece que se adecúa porque primero dice: cambia la moneda, ganan los mismos...
una sugerencia,
saludos
