Chronicle of a Birth

Crónica de Un Nacimiento

On November twenty-ninth, two thousand fiveUn veintinueve de Noviembre del año 2005
By accident, the resident was bornPor accidente nació el residente

The resident suddenly took over the mediaEl residente acaparo los medios de repente
Almost like a heistCasi como un asalto
He slipped into the body of a young guySe metió dentro del cuerpo de un joven
In Trujillo AltoEn Trujillo alto

He turned young Rene PerezAl joven Rene Pérez
Into his puppetLo convirtió en su marioneta
He ripped away his last nameLe arranco su apellido
Took away his whole identityLe quito su identidad completa
Stole his familyLe robo su familia
Took his girlfriendLe quito su novia
Tied his headLe amarro su cabeza
To a trunk full of all his phobiasA un baúl repleto de todas sus fobias

He put a gun in his mouthLe puso una pistola en la boca
And two rifles in each earY dos rifles en cada oreja

(Don't kill me)(No me mates)

(Shut up, I don't want complaints(Cállate, no quiero quejas
And don't raise your eyebrows)Y no me levantes las Sejas)

The resident screamed, going crazyGritaba el residente enloquecido
Waking up everyone asleep in that worldDespertando en aquel mundo a todos los dormidos

With a knife, the resident ripped the skin off his faceCon una navaja el residente le arranco la piel de la cara
Young Rene Perez was barely breathingEl joven Rene Pérez casi ya no respiraba

He told the resident with courage and disgustLe dijo al residente con valentía y repudio

(Now I'm going to unplug the studio cables)(Ahora voy a desconectar los cables del estudio)

Like magic, the Resident disappearedComo por arte de magia el Residente desapareció
Into those worldsPor aquellos mundos
ConfusingConfusos
No one saw him againNadie más lo vio

And without musicY es que sin música
The resident Calle Trece can't existEl residente calle trece no puede existir
Listening to himEscuchándolo
Is the only way to bring him back to lifeEs la única manera de volverlo a revivir
Some idiot had to comeTuvo que venir un imbécil
And listen to his musicY su música escuchar
For the resident Calle TrecePara que la residente calle trece
To visit us againNos volviera a visitar
