Brand New Day

This appeared as a moral dilemma,
'cause at first it was weird, though I swore to eliminate
the worst of the plague that devoured humanity.
It's true I was vague on the "how."
So, how can it be that you have shown me the light?
 
It's a brand new day
and the sun is high.
All the birds are singing
that you're gonna die.
 
How I hesitated,
now I wonder why.
It's a brand new day.
 
All the times that you beat me unconscious I'll forgive.
All the crimes incomplete, listen honestly I'll live.
Mr. Cool, Mr. Right, Mr. Know-it-all is through.
Now my future's so bright and I owe it all to you:
Who showed me the light
 
It's a brand new me.
I've got no remorse.
Now the water's rising but I know the course.
I'm gonna shock the world;
gonna show Bad Horse...
It's a Brand New Day.
 
And Penny will see the evil me:
Not a joke, not a dork, not a failure.
And, she may cry but her tears will dry
when I hand her the keys to a shiny new Australia.
 
It's a brand new day.
Yeah, the sun is high.
All the angels sing
because you're gonna die.
 
Go ahead and laugh.
Yeah, I'm a funny guy.
Tell everyone "goodbye."
Its' a brand new day.
 
Translation

Un nuevo día

Esto me parecía un dilema moral,
porque al principio era extraño, aunque juré eliminar
lo peor de la plaga que está devorando a la humanidad.
Es cierto que no estuve claro en el "cómo".
Por lo tanto, ¿cómo puede ser que me hayas mostrado la luz?
 
Es un nuevo día
y el sol está alto.
todas las aves están cantando
que vas a morir.
 
Cómo he vacilado,
ahora me pregunto por qué.
Es un nuevo día.
 
Todas las veces que me hiciste perder el conocimiento a golpes, lo perdonaré
Todos los crímenes incompletos -- escucha-- francamente viviré.
El Genial, El Correcto, El Sabelotodo ha terminado.
Ahora mi futuro es tan brillante y lo debo todo a ti:
Quién me mostró la luz.
 
Soy un nuevo yo,
sin ningún remordimiento.
Ahora, las aguas se elevan, pero conozco el curso.
Voy a sorprender al mundo;
le demostraré a Bad Horse...1
Es un nuevo día.
 
Y Penny verá el mal en mi:
Ni una broma, ni un idiota, ni un fracaso.
Y, tal vez llorará, pero sus lágrimas se secarán
cuando le entregue las llaves de una nueva reluciente Australia.
 
Es un nuevo día.
Sí, el sol está alto.
Todos los ángeles cantan
porque te vas a morir.
 
Sigue adelante y ríete.
Sí, soy un tipo cómico.
Dile a todo el mundo "Adiós".
Es un nuevo día.

Hi Jami!
I would like to make a few comments on your translation. First of all:
You translated the title "Día flamante" and then, in the lyrics you changed it to "Es un nuevo día". Is this intentional?
1. Third verse - " la plaga que ha devorando", either "ha devorado" or "está devorando" (could be a typo), and add "a" (la humanidad).
2. Fourth verse - More clear if you say "estuve claro" (if you mean "I"), or "fui vago".
3. Fifth verse - Subjunctive, "que me hayas"
4. Second stanza, first verse - This "perdonaré" alone, doesn't sound right. I wonder if you should say "lo perdonaré", but then you have "viviré" in the next verse... I don't know... (?)
5. "Now the water's rising but I know the course". I don't quite understand this line. Is she referring to the 'course of a river'?
6. "Y Penny verá El Malvado en mí" There is no cap. in the original. I would say "verá el mal en mi".
En la siguiente linea, "No una broma, ni un idiota, ni un fracaso",
" ni, ni, ni", all 'nis'.
7. Last refrain - "sigue adelante y ríete".

That's it. Best to you.

Thank you my friend :) Your help is always welcome and appreciated.
By "Now the water's rising but I know the course", I think he means that trouble, including his own emotions/anger, are increasing, but he knows the action to take.

Weii yes, that's the idea behind the words but, literally. the saying: "now the water's rising", can we attribute it to a river, and complete it by saying, "but I know the course" (of the river)?
