Flor de Lodo

Mud Flower

Flor de Lodo

Poor lost womenPobrecitas mujeres perdidas
That the fury of the world draggedQue la furia del mundo arrastró
Through the mud that their lives from vicePor el lodo que del vicio sus vidas
And the party a withered flowerY la farra una flor marchito

They laugh with their crazy laughterEllas ríen con su risa loca
For money they offer their lovePor dinero ofrecen su amor
And give away the honey from their mouthY regala la miel de su boca
A rich and bubbling glass of liquorUn rico y burbujeante vaso de licor

Little bud of LilyCapullito de Azucena
That sorrow pluckedQue la pena deshojo
Mud flowerFlor de lodo
That laughing you go through lifeQue riendo vas por la vida
Hiding the deep woundOcultando la honda herida
That destiny swallowed youQue el destino te ingirió

Mud flowerFlor de lodo
That fate will drag youQue la suerte te arrastrará
With its so fatal fateCon su sino tan fatal
Mud flowerFlor de lodo
It always seems to me when I see youSiempre me parece al verte
That only death willQue solo podrá la muerte
Calm your incurable painCalmar tu incurable mal

If tomorrow when the day diesSi mañana cuando muera el día
With its rhythm that is never the sameCon su ritmo que nunca es igual
You are surprised by the sad agonyTe sorprende la triste agonía
In the bed of some hospitalEn el lecho de algún hospital

With the claw of the intruder deathCon la garra de la parca intrusa
It will sink among your beautiful fleshSe hundirá entre tus carnes hermosas
And that aroma of you, poor deludedY ese aroma de ti pobre ilusa
Will always float in your own graveHa de flotar siempre en tu propia fosa
