These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ayer mataron a un lobo en la puerta de mi casa
Yesterday a wolf was killed at the door of my house
Con la cabeza vencida sobre la acera soñaba
With his head bowed on the sidewalk he dreamed
Observaba la bodega donde peleaba y dormía
I watched the cellar where he fought and slept
Con la pupila vidriosa mira pasar el día
With glassy pupils watch the day go by
Y los niños de su mundo hablaban en voz muy baja
And the children of his world spoke very softly
De su mirada
of his look
Para el resto de la tierra, allí había un perro muerto
To the rest of the earth, there was a dead dog
Un perro que en unas horas estaría descompuesto
A dog that in a few hours would be sick
Había que limpiar la acera de aquella mancha oscura
The sidewalk had to be cleaned of that dark stain
Para el resto de la tierra un perro muerto es basura
For the rest of the earth a dead dog is garbage.
Pero los niños jugaban y volvían a su lado
But the children played and returned to her side
Siempre callados
always quiet
Lobo yo si te recuerdo echado al camino
Wolf I do remember you lying on the road
Con el sol curándote el lomo desecho
With the sun curing your broken back
De andar a la noche batallando con tus enemigos
From walking at night battling with your enemies
Lobo yo si te recuerdo, yo también sabía
Wolf I do remember you, I also knew
Donde, como y cuando dormías tu sueño
Where, how and when you slept your dream
Para esos asuntos no he crecido mucho todavía
For those matters I haven't grown much yet
Como no iba a recordarte si estás ahí desde mi niñez
How could I not remember you if you are there from my childhood
En un paisaje diferente pero igual, si a todos nos paso una vez
In a different landscape but the same, if it happened to all of us once
Como no iba a recordarte si tu misterio es más feliz
How could I not remind you if your mystery is happier
Que muchas cosas que tenemos que contar a costa de una cicatriz
That many things that we have to tell at the cost of a scar
Como de un hierro caliente
like a hot iron
Que deja la memoria ardiente
that leaves the burning memory
Sin la nobleza de tu muerte
Without the nobility of your death
Y sin un peso, con más suerte
And without a penny, with more luck
Que no sea la de maldecir
That is not the one to curse
