Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Me Voy A Comprar Un Perro by Joan Sebastian from Spanish to English.
Me voy a comprar un perro
I'm going to buy a dog
Pa no sentirme tan solo
To not feel so alone
Y no lo digo con dolo
And I don't say it maliciously
Ya ven que el perro sí es fiel
You see that the dog is faithful
No como el amor aquel que me partió media madre
Not like the love that broke half my mother
Hoy no hay perro que me ladre, colmillo que roe este hueso
Today there is no dog that barks at me, fang that gnaws this bone
Eso es muy triste, por eso me brota este sentimiento
That's very sad, that's why I get this feeling
Que va desde el pensamiento hasta la punta del pie
That goes from the thought to the tip of the foot
Preguntáranse por qué si la vida es tan hermosa
You will wonder why if life is so beautiful
No me jalo a una mocosa de esas que se oyen gritar
I'm not going to fuck one of those brats that you can hear screaming
De esas que tienen el pecho erguido como aquel cerro
One of those who have their chest upright like that hill
Quién fuera becerro para acabarse de criar
Who was a calf to finish raising
No vayan a pensar que soy tan libidinoso
Don't think I'm so libidinous
Soy muy humano, las gozo pero no me hacen feliz
I am very human, I enjoy them but they don't make me happy
Traigo vacío el veliz y traigo el alma bien flaca
I bring my suitcase empty and I bring a very skinny soul
Vivir así vale, shit
Living like this is okay, shit
Así no quiero vivir
I don't want to live like this
Me voy a comprar un perro para que aúlle en mis noches
I'm going to buy a dog to howl at night
Pa que ahuyente los reproches que llegan de madrugada
To ward off the reproaches that come at dawn
Cuando le digo a mi almohada
When I tell my pillow
Que la amo y no me contesta
That I love her and she doesn't answer me
Y soledad hace fiesta, fiesta muda y socarrona
And loneliness makes a party, a silent and sarcastic party
La soledad es cabrona y no la voy a aguantar
Loneliness is a bastard and I'm not going to put up with it
Mejor me voy a comprar un perro como he pensado
I better go buy a dog as I thought
Pa que se muera a mi lado
So that he dies by my side
O yo muera al lado de él
Or I die next to him
