Pretty much yeah. From what Beck said on a TV interview I saw there
isn't a direct translation of the word loser (into Spanish). He said
that a more literal translation (from the Spanish to English) would be
I am lost.

Perdedor is in the Oxford Spanish Dictionary as loser. It's also in my
Larousse Spanish Dictionary which I bought in Mexico. I'm saying, it
means I'm a loser.

... and wasn't that a great little interview on Recovery? I particularly liked
the deadpan explanation of why Hanson are projections of Beck's aura.

Does any want to write up a transcript of that interview?  (Anyone tape
it?)  I had my video programmed and I was watching it, but then it got
cut after the first hour so we, in Perth, could watch *tennis*!

Anyone?

Sorry. I might try contacting Recovery though, on the off chance. I'll let you
know.
