Me dio una sirimba un domingo en la mañana

Cuando menos lo pensaba

Caí redondo, como una guanábana, sobre la alcantarilla
I fell round, like a soursop, over the sewer
Será la presión o me ha subido la bilirrubina

Y me entró la calentura
And I got a fever
Y me fui poniendo blanco como bola de naftalina
And I was turning white as a mothball
Me llevaron a un hospital de gente, supuestamente

En la emergencia, el recepcionista escuchaba la lotería

Grité perdiendo el sentido
I screamed losing consciousness
Y una enfermera se acercó a mi oreja y me dijo

'Tranquilo, Bobby, tranquilo'
'Calm down, Bobby, calm down'
Me acarició con sus manos de Bengay y me dijo

Pero la sala está ocupada, y mi querido

En este hospital no hay luz para un electrocardiograma'
