Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Cigarrillo by Ana Gabriel from Spanish to English.
Anoche estuve conversando
Last night I was talking
Con mi cigarrillo
With my cigarette
Me sentí cansada
I felt tired
Cansada aburrida y tan vacía
Tired, bored, and so empty
Que a veces hasta pienso
That sometimes I even think
Que ni siquiera existo
That I don't even exist
Que a veces hasta pienso
That sometimes I even think
Que ni siquiera existo
That I don't even exist
Lo encendí muy lentamente
I lit it very slowly
Le di una fumada
Took a drag
Y al mirar el humo
And as I looked at the smoke
Que en el espacio se volatizaba
That evaporated into space
Recordé tantas cosas
I remembered so many things
Que creí olvidadas
That I thought I'd forgotten
Se las conté todas
I told him all of them
Mientras que lo fumaba
While I was smoking it
Le conversé de ti
I talked to him about you
Y de mis añoranzas
And my longings
Le conté de tus besos
I told him about your kisses
Y de mis esperanzas
And my hopes
Le conté de tu olvido
I told him about your forgetfulness
De mis lágrimas tantas
Of my many tears
De aquello que vivimos
Of what we lived through
Y que hoy se ha vuelto nada
And that today has become nothing
Le dije que es posible
I told him it's possible
Que a mi nadie me quiera
That no one will love me
Porque he intentado
Because I've tried
Vivir a mi manera
To live my way
Porque me he negado
Because I've refused
A pagar el tributo
To pay the tribute
De bajeza y pecado
Of baseness and sin
Que hoy nos exige el mundo
That the world demands of us today
Que a lo mejor estoy acabada
That maybe I'm finished
O que la vida me ha vencido
Or that life has defeated me
Que he sufrido y he llorado
That I've suffered and I've cried
Que he luchado y he reído
That I've fought and I've Laughed
¿Y qué es lo que he ganado
And what have I gained
Por ser así tan comprensiva?
By being so understanding?
Solo vivir desesperada
Only living desperately
En un mundo tan vacío
In such an empty world
Anoche estuve conversando
Last night I was talking
Con mi cigarrillo
With my cigarette
Y al terminarlo
And when I finished it
Pensando me quedé entre suspiros
I was left thinking between sighs
Que en este verso triste
That in this sad verse
Que es el mundo en que vivo
That is the world I live in
Solo él me va quedando
Only he is left to me
Como único amigo
As my only friend
