Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Columpio by Los Rieleros Del Norte from Spanish to English.
Cuantas veces te dije llorando, no juegues conmigo
How many times I told you crying, don't play with me
Ni me eches mentiras
And don't lie to me
Porque vas a quedarte en la calle
Because you're gonna end up on the street
Tirada y perdida vendiendo tu vida
Thrown out and lost, selling your life
Yo te dije piensa en lo que dices no ves que la vida
I told you, think about what you say, don't you see that life
Es como un columpio, cuando sube se siente bonito
It's like a swing, when it goes up it feels nice
Pero cuando baja eso duele mucho
But when it comes down that hurts a lot
Ya lo ves, hoy te encuentras perdida
You see it now, today you're lost
Vendiendo tu vida, y yo muy contento
Selling your life, and I'm very happy
Quiera Dios, que tu cuerpo se seque
God willing, that your body dries up
Y que de repente se lo lleve el viento
And that suddenly the wind carries it away
No es que te tenga yo odio contigo
It's not that I hate you
Ni quiera desearte ya tu mala suerte
Nor do I want to wish you your bad luck anymore
Pero si viviría agradecido si en estos
But I would live grateful if in these
Momentos me lleva la muerte
Moments death takes me away
Ya lo ves, hoy te encuentras perdida
You see it now, today you're lost
Vendiendo tu vida, y yo muy contento
Selling your life, and I'm very happy
Quiera Dios, que tu cuerpo se seque
God willing, that your body dries up
Y que de repente se lo lleve el viento
And that suddenly the wind carries it away
