Recite the usual prayer to fulfill God
Acto seguido en el pecho se dibuja una cruz
Then a cross is drawn on the chest
De quien es el auto que espera dos cuadras al sur

Y el auto que espera a dos cuadras enciende el motor
And the car that waits two blocks away starts the engine
Un tiro en la sien al chofer, la nena va a la deriva
A shot in the temple to the driver, the baby goes adrift
Un árbol detiene la inercia, ellos la tienen rodeada
A tree stops inertia, they have it surrounded
Su frente dio contra el cristal y le ha abierto una herida
His forehead hit the glass and has opened a wound
Los vecinos se encierran con llave, nadie ha visto nada
Neighbors are locked up, no one has seen anything
Y la mano que mato a su chofer ahora le opaca los gritos
And the hand that killed his driver now dulls his screams

Baby is a one with zeros from today

Your luck is listed on banknotes from another country
Su vida es un trueque vulgar parecido a la muerte
His life is a vulgar barter akin to death

La nena es un bulto amarrado en un chrysler café

Un zapato le oprime la espalda, un pañuelo la boca
A shoe presses on her back, a handkerchief on her mouth
La nena esta muerta de miedo y no entiende por qué

La nena es desvelo y noticia la nena no está
The baby is awake and news, the baby is not
Su planeta cambio de tamaño y mide cuatro por tres

Su sol es la luz que se cuela debajo de una puerta
His sun is the light that sneaks under a door
La nena ya no ve diferencia entre un dÃa y un mes
The baby no longer sees the difference between a day and a month
La nena no sabe si duerme o se mantiene despierta
The baby doesn't know if she sleeps or stays awake
La nena ya lleva 3 meses buscando un porque

Seis kilos de menos la nena, tiene llagas rosadas

Papa casi loco, mama de nuevo en los hospitales
Almost crazy dad, mom again in hospitals
Se pacta la entrega con una voz manipulada
Delivery is agreed with a manipulated voice
La misma que ha venido ofreciendo souvenirs corporales
The same one that has been offering body souvenirs
Y el miedo se rÃe de todos y se frota las manos
And fear laughs at everyone and rubs his hands
El futuro pone cara de perro si se le da la gana
The future looks like a dog if it feels like it
