Spanish term or phrase: después de todo o nada
Autorretrato

Considerad, muchachos,
Este gabán de fraile mendicante:
Soy profesor en un liceo obscuro,
He perdido la voz haciendo clases.
(Después de todo o nada
Hago cuarenta horas semanales).
¿Qué les dice mi cara abofeteada?
¡Verdad que inspira lástima mirarme!
Y qué les sugieren estos zapatos de cura
Que envejecieron sin arte ni parte.

En materia de ojos, a tres metros
No reconozco ni a mi propia madre.
¿Qué me sucede? -¡Nada!
Me los he arruinado haciendo claes:
La mala luz, el sol,
La venenosa luna miserable.
Y todo ¡para qué!
Para ganar un pan imperdonable
Duro como la cara

Хотелось бы отразить при переводе разговорное происхождение выражения después de todo o nada, о котором говорится, например, здесь:
"Era natural que la locución familiar entrara también al libro. Entró "a boca de jarro", con "¡palabra de chillanejo!", en medio de "imagínate tú" y "después de todo o nada"."

Потому и "как ни крути" :)
