Qué mal repartida está esta vida

Original title (Que mal repartida esta esta vida) changed to 'Qué mal repartida está esta vida'.

In English?

Went looking for an equivalent and found variations of the saying.

El mundo está muy mal repartido.
Está muy mal repartido el mundo.
La vida está muy mal repartida.

Life's not fair.
Life's unfair.
The world isn't fair.
