It's Up to You
You might have been born a ladybug,
You might have been born a cat,
You might have been born an ear of corn or a bat,
But you had luck of a special kind.
You were born a being with a mind and a voice,
And the power of choice.
You can do yourself in if you like.
You can dissolve your brain cells in gin if you like,
And that delicate pair of lungs you were born with to feed you your air,
You can choke them on hot smoke instead
Until they turn blue and can no longer do what they're meant to do.
It's all up to you.
Depende de ti
Podrías haber nacido una mariquita,
Podrías haber nacido un gato,
Podrías haber nacido una mazorca de maíz o un murciélago,
Pero tuviste la suerte de un tipo especial.
Naciste como un ser con una mente y una voz,
Y el poder de elección.
Puedes autodestruirte si así lo deseas.
Puedes disolver tus células cerebrales en ginebra si así lo prefieres,
Y esos delicados pulmones con los que naciste para alimentarte de aire,
Puedes ahogarlos en humo caliente en su lugar
Hasta que se pongan azules y ya no puedan hacer lo que se supone que deben hacer.
Depende de ti.
