These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Lucho toda una vida
I fight a lifetime
Un hombre de clase media
A middle-class man
Y de lejos se puede notar
And from afar you can notice
El aire de buena gente
The air of good people
Nunca tuvo mucho tiempo
He never had much time
Para cultivar su ingenio
To cultivate his wits
Pero es mas listo de lo que se ve
But he's smarter than he looks
Se le nota en la mirada
You can see it in his eyes
Ay!, cansada, cansada
Oh, tired, tired
Cada vez va mas lento
It's slowing down
Apoyando el bastón del lado izquierdo
Supporting the cane on the left side
Y te habla y te cuenta
And he talks to you and tells you
De que tiempo aquellos
How long those
Llenos de polvo y soledad
Full of dust and loneliness
Mi amigo sebastián
My Sebastian friend
Caso desde muy joven
Case from a very young age
Enviudo hace mucho tiempo
Widowed a long time ago
Un solo hijo que jamás volvió
A single son who never came back
Tal vez se lo trago la tierra
Maybe I'll buy it from the earth
Y nunca tuvo mucha suerte
And he was never very lucky
Si es que se habla de dinero
If there's talk of money
Sin darse cuenta solo se quedo
Inadvertently, he just stayed
Y casi con un siglo entero
And almost a whole century
Y espera, y espera
And wait, and wait
A que cada quincena
That every fortnight
El estado le pase una miseria
The state has a pittance on it
Que suerte, que suerte
Lucky, what luck
Tal vez se pague una cena
Maybe you'll pay for dinner
Y para mañana dios dirá
And by tomorrow God will say
Mi amigo sebastián, mi amigo sebastián
My sebastian friend, my Sebastian friend
Y van unos días
And it's a few days
Que ya no lo veo pasar
That I don't see it happen anymore
Que raro!, tal vez se fue a otro lugar
That's weird, maybe he went somewhere else
Que raro!, sin despedirse y sin decirme nada
That's weird, without saying goodbye and without telling me anything
Tal vez no le dio tiempo de avisar
Maybe it didn't give him time to warn
Ojalá que encuentre paz
I hope he finds peace
Mi amigo sebastián
My Sebastian friend
