Last night I was talking

With my cigarette

I felt tired

Tired, bored, and so empty

That sometimes I even think

That I don't even exist

That sometimes I even think

That I don't even exist

I lit it very slowly

Took a drag

And as I looked at the smoke

That evaporated into space

I remembered so many things

That I thought I'd forgotten

I told him all of them

While I was smoking it

I talked to him about you

And my longings

I told him about your kisses

And my hopes

I told him about your forgetfulness

Of my many tears

Of what we lived through

And that today has become nothing

I told him it's possible

That no one will love me

Because I've tried

To live my way

Because I've refused

To pay the tribute

Of baseness and sin

That the world demands of us today

That maybe I'm finished

Or that life has defeated me

That I've suffered and I've cried

That I've fought and I've Laughed

And what have I gained

By being so understanding?

Only living desperately

In such an empty world

Last night I was talking

With my cigarette

And when I finished it

I was left thinking between sighs

That in this sad verse

That is the world I live in

Only he is left to me

As my only friend

añoranzas — longings / yearnings

Añoranzas translates to "longings" or "yearnings." It's a beautiful and evocative word that captures a deep sense of nostalgia and a heartfelt desire for something or someone from the past.

In "El Cigarrillo," Ana Gabriel uses this word to express the profound emotional weight of her memories. She confides in her cigarette about her "añoranzas" for a lost love, highlighting the bittersweet ache of remembering what once was and what she deeply misses. This word perfectly encapsulates the song's melancholic and reflective tone.

Ana Gabriel's "El Cigarrillo" is a really intimate song where the singer has a deep conversation with her cigarette. She feels incredibly tired, bored, and empty, even questioning her own existence: "Que a veces hasta pienso / Que ni siquiera existo" [That sometimes I even think / That I don't even exist]. As she slowly lights it and watches the smoke disappear, it brings back a flood of forgotten memories.

She pours her heart out to the cigarette, talking about a past love, her longing, their kisses, and her hopes. She also shares the pain of being forgotten and the many tears she's cried, lamenting that what they once had is now "nada" [nothing]. She wonders if no one loves her because she's tried to live life her own way, refusing to pay the "tributo / De bajeza y pecado" [tribute / Of baseness and sin] that the world demands. She feels defeated, having suffered, cried, fought, and laughed, only to gain nothing but despair in a "mundo tan vacío" [such an empty world]. By the end, her cigarette is her only friend in this sad world.
