A mis cuarenta y diez
at my forty ten
Cuarenta y nueve dicen que aparento
Forty-nine say I pretend
Más antes que después
More before than after
He de enfrentarme al delicado momento
I have to face the delicate moment
De empezar a pensar
to start thinking
En recogerme, de sentar la cabeza
In picking me up, settling down
De resignarme a dictar testamento
To resign myself to dictate a will
(perdón por la tristeza)
(sorry for the sadness)
Para que mis allegados, condenados
So that my relatives, condemned
A un ingrato futuro
To an ungrateful future
No sufran lo que he sufrido, he decidido
Do not suffer what I have suffered, I have decided
No dejarles ni un duro
Do not leave them a penny
Sólo derechos de amor
only rights of love
Un siete en el corazón y un mar de dudas
A seven in the heart and a sea of doubts
A condición de que no
Provided you don't
Los malvendan, en el rastro, mis viudas
Sell them out, on the trail, my widows
Y, cuando, a mi rocío
And, when, to my dew
Le escueza el alma y pase la varicela
The soul stings and the chickenpox passes
Y, un rojo escalofrío
And, a shiver red
Marque la edad del pavo de mi carmela
Mark the age of my carmela's turkey
Tendrán un mal ejemplo, un hulla hop
They will have a bad example, a coal hop
Y un d'artacán que les ladre
And a d'artacán that barks at them
Por cada beso que les regateó
For every kiss that he bargained for them
El fanfarrón de su padre
His father's braggart
Pero sin prisas, que, a las misas
But without haste, that, to the masses
De réquiem, nunca fui aficionado
Of requiem, I was never a fan
Que, el traje de madera, que estrenaré
That, the wooden suit, that I will release
No está siquiera plantado
It's not even planted
Que, el cura, que ha de darme la extremaunción
What, the priest, who has to give me extreme unction
No es todavía monaguillo
not yet an altar boy
Que, para ser comercial, a esta canción
That, to be commercial, to this song
Le falta un buen estribillo
It lacks a good chorus
Desde que salgo con la pálida dama
Since I've been dating the pale lady
Ando más muerto que vivo
I'm more dead than alive
Pero dormir el sueño eterno en su cama
But sleep the eternal sleep in your bed
Me parece excesivo
seems excessive
Y, eso que nunca he renunciado a buscar
And, what I have never given up looking for
En unos labios abiertos
in open lips
Dicen que hay besos de esos que, te los dan
They say that there are those kisses that are given to you
Y resucitan a un muerto
And they raise a dead man
Y, si a mi tumba, os acercáis de visita
And if you come to visit my grave
El día de mi cumpleaños
The day of my birthday
Y no os atiendo, esperadme, en la salita
And I do not attend to you, wait for me, in the living room
Hasta que vuelva del baño
Until I come back from the bathroom
¿a quién le puede importar
who cares
Después de muerto, que uno tenga sus vicios
After death, that one has his vices
El día del juicio final
doomsday
Puede que dios sea mi abogado de oficio.
God may be my public defender
Pero sin prisas, que, a las misas
But without haste, that, to the masses
De réquiem, nunca fui aficionado
Of requiem, I was never a fan
Que, el traje de madera, que estrenaré
That, the wooden suit, that I will release
No está siquiera plantado
It's not even planted
Que, el cura, que ha de darme la extremaunción
What, the priest, who has to give me extreme unction
No es todavía monaguillo
not yet an altar boy
Que, para ser comercial, a esta canción
That, to be commercial, to this song
Le falta un buen estribillo
It lacks a good chorus
