De Mi Muerte

From My Death

De Mi Muerte

Today I went to bed drunkHoy me fui a la cama tomado
Turning the ceiling I saw like a clock by a thousand acceleratedGirar el techo vi como un reloj por mil acelerado
I had one of those dreams where you know you're in a tied dreamTuve un sueño de esos que sabes que estás en un sueño atado
I opened my eyes and saw a child similar to me sittingAbrí los ojos y vi un niño parecido a mí sentado

And I, who am not superstitious, knew it was another vile work of art from the subconsciousY yo que no soy supersticioso supe que es otra vil obra de arte del subconsciente
Knowing I was dreaming, I asked the one present thereSabiéndome soñando, pregunté al allí presente
Tell me, who the hell are you?Dime ¿Quién coño eres?

And even though he was just a child, in his eyes I could seeY aunque era solo un niño en los ojos podía verle
That it was myself and I couldn't fear himQue se trataba de mí mismo y no podía temerle
He said, brother sleepMe dijo, hermano duerme
And upon waking up, I was on a conscious couch andY al despertar estaba en un divan consciente y

I noticed that next to me was an old man sittingPude notar que al lado estaba un anciano sentado
He made me talk about things that had happened to meMe hacía hablar de cosas que me habían pasado
I noticed he was a psychologist and that he listened to my monologue without seeming amazed and said, stop!Noté que de un psicólogo se trataba y que mi monólogo escuchaba sin parecer asombrado y dijo, para!

Stop complaining about nothing out there!Deja de quejarte por ahí por nada!
You have a mission down there and it's not completed!Tienes una misión allá abajo y no está completada!
And I saw his face when he shouted these last sentencesY vi su cara cuando estas últimas frases gritaba
Noticing that it was, although already old, my own face!Notando que se trataba aunque ya vieja de mi propia cara!

He said, you must remember fullyMe dijo, debes recordar íntegramente
What I will tell you because I will not repeat the followingLo que te diré pues no repetiré lo consiguiente
It's about the secret of lifeSe trata del secreto de la vida
And every time you are born again, you will sing this to your people and he saidY siempre que nazcas de nuevo cantarás esto a tu gente y dijo

You must sing as if no one is listening to youDebes cantar como si nadie te estuviese escuchando
You must dance as if no one is watching youDebes bailar como si nadie te estuviese observando
You must love without fear of being betrayedDebes amar sin miedo a ser traicionado
Although without giving priority to those who have not given you priority, of courseAunque sin darle prioridad al que prioridad no te ha dado, claro

You must laugh if something embarrassing happensDebes reír si pasa algo que te avergüence
Eventually everyone will forget the bad experienceIgual tarde o temprano todos olvidarán la mala experiencia
You must close your eyes to a good smellDebes cerrar los ojos ante un buen olor
And enjoy slowly every good taste, yesY disfrutar despacio todo buen sabor, sí

Happiness: Is not about having everything, but no longer desiring anything sillyFelicidad: Is not about tenerlo todo, sino ya no desear nada bobo
It's obvious that you have to move forward and study moreEs obvio que hay que echar pa' lante y estudiar más
Working is the way but avoiding the mud on the pathTrabajar es el modo pero apartando del camino el lodo

It's not worth taking revenge for something that's not worth itNo vale la pena vengarse por algo que no valga la pena
Life is short and sorrow is long when it comesLa vida es corta y la pena es larga, cuando esta llega
Tell solutions, not problemsDíganse soluciones no problemas
Propose things to do, not just criticize the flaws of the system, relaxPropongan cosas por hacer, no todo es criticar las fallas del sistema, rela'

I know that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only oneI know that I'm a dreamer, but i'm not the only one
Don't forget your neighbor if your bread multipliesNo te olvides del prójimo si se te multiplica el pan
Laugh in sadness, cry with joyRíete en la tristeza, llora de alegría
And don't forget that every day that passes shortens your life, heyY no olvides que cada día que pasa se acorta tu vida, eh

You can't be happy if you don't know what you wantSer feliz no puede quien no sabe lo que quiere
Start being yourself and stop being who you are not, you deserveEmpieza a ser tú mismo y deja ya de ser quien no eres, mere
Imitations abound, originals are scarceQue imitaciones abundan, originales escasean
And chances are like tides, they come and goY los chances son como las mareas van y vienen

They pass by, they don't stopPasan po' el frente, no se detienen
Dare to love and stop crying for what you don't haveAtrévete a amar y deja es llora' por lo que no tienes
You should never let a comment complicate youNunca debes dejar que un comentario te complique
Because even by improving the world, someone will criticize youPorque aún mejorando el mundo alguien habrá que te critique
And I said, stopY dije, para

Make them wake up and I swear I'm going to sing all this in their facesHaz que despierte y juro voy a cantar todo esto es sus caras
The old man accepted and snapped his fingers as he sighedEl anciano aceptó y chasqueó sus dedos mientras suspiraba
But to my surprise, I saw where I woke upPero sorpresa mía fue al ver donde me despertaba

I was in a coffin surrounded by all my peopleMe hallaba en un ataúd rodeado de toda mi gente
Crying for my corpse that I could look at smilingLlorando mi cadáver que podía mirar sonriente
It wasn't my subconsciousNo era mi subconsciente
(It wasn't a dream, it was a truth)(No era un sueño, se trataba de una verdad)

And I went through my wake passing through the attendeesY recorrí mi velorio atravesando a los presentes
Except in this scene, I was always dreamingExcepto en esta escena estuve yo soñando siempre
It was my deathSe trataba de mi muerte
(It was me, it was me, it was me, it was me)(Se trataba de mí, se trataba de mí, se trataba de mí, se trataba de)

As I walked, I regretted leaving this bitter worldAl caminar lamente irme de este mundo amargo
Without finishing the mission for which I am sufferingSin terminar la misión por la que ando penando
Which is about singing what was narratedLa cual se trata de cantar lo narrado
By the old man, the one who, when I die, will never be heardPor el anciano, aquel que al yo morir nunca será escuchado
And I said, stop!Y dije, para!
