The Last Inhabitant of the Planet

Nacho Mastretta

El Ultimo Habitante Del Planeta

El último habitante del planeta
Contó el dinero y se tomó su tiempo
Pensó gastarlo todo en una noche
Para qué lo iba a guardar

Primero ver qué estrenan en el cine
Después mi restaurante favorito,
Buscó en su agenda con una sonrisa,
Para ver a quién llamar

Y pensó quién será
Tan feliz como yo
Gira el mundo a mis pies
Para mí, porque sí

Cazó una mosca al vuelo con desgana
Cerró la mano y la agitó despacio
Conto uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cuatrocientos
Luego la dejó volar

Y pensó quién será
Tan feliz como yo
Gira el mundo a mis pies
Para mí, porque sí

El último habitante del planeta
Miró al espejo y vio su propia cara
Palpó la superficie con los dedos
Y le pareció brillar.

The Last Inhabitant of the Planet

The last inhabitant of the planet
Counted the money and took his time
Thought of spending it all in one night
Why would he save it?

First, see what's playing at the movies
Then my favorite restaurant,
He searched his agenda with a smile,
To see who to call

And he thought who will be
As happy as me
The world spins at my feet
For me, just because

He lazily caught a fly in mid-air
Closed his hand and shook it slowly
Counted one, two, three, four, four hundred
Then let it fly away

And he thought who will be
As happy as me
The world spins at my feet
For me, just because

The last inhabitant of the planet
Looked in the mirror and saw his own face
Felt the surface with his fingers
And it seemed to shine.
