La Vieja Del Zaguán

The Old Lady of the Hallway

La Vieja Del Zaguán

Delirious through the old cityDelirando por la ciudad vieja
There was an old lady half deadHabía una vieja medio muerta
Lying in the hallwayAcostada en el zaguán

I saw her looking at me and her gazeVi que me miraba y su mirada
Disturbed, disturbingTrastornada, trastornaba
What was in the placeLo que había en el lugar

I saw that I couldn't stopVi que no podía dejar
Looking at the old ladyDe mirar a la vieja
Who was lying in the hallwayQue estaba acostada en el zaguán

I realized that I didn't knowComprobé que no sabía
If it was really meSi era yo realmente
Who was looking at the old lady of the hallwayEl que miraba a la vieja del zaguán

Or if it was the old ladyO si era la vieja
Who was looking at meQue era yo que me miraba
Lying in the hallwayAcostado en el zaguán

I started feeling in myEmpecé a sentir en mis
Kidneys the painRiñones el dolor
The hard steps of the hallwayLos escalones duros del zaguán

I saw that my own selfVi que mi persona frente a mi
Was standing in front of me, I found myselfEstaba parada, me encontré
Lying in the hallwayAcostado en el zaguán

I saw that instead of speakingVi que en vez de hablar
I was babbling nonsenseYo balbuceaba estupideces
I saw that something was wrong with my headVi que de la cabeza andaba mal

I saw that the one who was meVi que el que era yo
Turned around and left meSe daba vuelta y me dejaba
Transformed into the old lady of the hallwayTransformado en la vieja del zaguán
