Qué difícil es la vida
How hard life is
Cuando existe incertidumbre
When there is uncertainty
Y que feo sabe la muerte
And how ugly death knows
Cuando se hace por costumbre
When it's done out of habit
Hasta mi cuerpo arribaron
Even my body was up
Visitas inesperadas
Unexpected visits
Una se quedó conmigo
One stayed with me
Las otras iban de pasada
The others were passing by
Unas caras con asombro
Faces with amazement
Y otras más desfiguradas
And others more disfigured
El doctor viene en camino
The doctor is on his way
De seguro ya no tarda
I'm sure it won't take long
La esperanza seguía viva
Hope was still alive
Pero la sangre me abandonaba
But the blood was abandoning me
Preguntaba por mi estado
I was asking about my condition
Pero nadie contestaba
But no one answered
Con la mirada hacia el techo
Looking up at the ceiling
Y una movilidad nula
And zero mobility
La ansiedad y el desespero
Anxiety and despair
Con el miedo se acumula
With fear it accumulates
¿cómo pasaron los hechos?
How did the events happen?
Preguntaba peritaje
I was asking expertise
Señor ahora le contesto
Sir now I answer
Solo deje que la cuaje
Just let the carriage
Y es que como se prepara
And it is that as it prepares
Para dejar esta vida
To leave this life
Si yo no compre boleto
If I don't buy a ticket
Y ya estaba de salida
And I was already on my way out
Quisiera ser catarino
I'd like to be catarino
Para curarme con saliva
To cure me with saliva
La esperanza se quedaba
Hope remained
Pero el tiempo se me iba
But the time was going out
Con la calma por minuto
With the calm per minute
Y el suero por segundero
And the serum by second hand
Como una fiera enjaulada
Like a caged beast
Apunto de perder el cuero
About to lose my leather
El doctor ya está llegando
The doctor is coming
Preparen bien al paciente
Prepare the patient well
Paciencia es lo que no tengo
Patience is what I don't have
Espero y no haiga inconveniente
I hope and don't inconvenience
Por si acaso no la libro
Just in case you don't book it
Algo más quiero pedirles
Something else I want to ask you
No me entierren, no me cremen
Don't bury me, don't believe me
Por si ya no quiero morirme
In case I don't want to die anymore
Y es que en casos como este
And it is that in cases like this
Siempre tiendo arrepentirme
I always tend to regret it
Ya se me acabo el papel
I'm out of paper
Es tiempo de despedirme
It's time to say goodbye
