Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Morir De Viejo by Los Tres from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Mis manos vienen del aire
my hands come from the air
Mis manos tiñen el mar
My hands dye the sea
Mis piernas son tan largas
my legs are so long
Y mi cuello es un glaciar
And my neck is a glacier
Las venas adoloridas
sore veins
De sangre que al gotear
Of blood that drips
Dejaba unas negras cansadas de arañar
I left some black women tired of scratching
Me quema el agua
the water burns me
Me alivia el fuego
The fire relieves me
Y nunca aprendo
and I never learn
Otra vez tropiezo con el mismo desdén
Again I stumble upon the same disdain
Del amor tranquilo cuando ya no existe el bien
Of quiet love when good no longer exists
Si fueras una bestia sería tan feliz
If you were a beast I would be so happy
Abrazaría al mundo y entendería al fin
I would embrace the world and finally understand
Que soy de fuego y soy eterno
I am made of fire and I am eternal
Y no me consuelo
And I don't console myself
Si mo me convierto pronto en zorzal
If I soon become a thrush
Me volveré maleza y no podré llegar
I will become weeds and I will not be able to reach
A tus orillas eternas colmadas de verdad
To your eternal shores filled with truth
Aguacero tormentoso déjame llegar al mar
Stormy downpour let me reach the sea
Para quemarme y volverme ciego
To burn me and make me blind
Morir de viejo
die of old age
