El Cigarrillo

The Cigarette

El Cigarrillo

Last night, I was talking with my cigaretteAnoche, estuve conversando con mi cigarrillo
And I felt tired, tired, bored, and so emptyY me sentí, cansada, cansada, aburrida y tan vacía
That sometimes I even think I don't existQue a veces hasta pienso que ni siquiera existo
That sometimes I even think, that I don't even existQue a veces hasta pienso, que ni siquiera existo

I lit it very slowly, took a puffLo encendí muy lentamente, le di una fumada
And as I watched the smoke dissipate into spaceY al mirar el humo que en el espacio se volatizaba
I remembered so many things I thought forgottenRecordé tantas cosas que creí olvidadas
I told it all, while I smokedSe las conté todas, mientras que lo fumaba

I talked to it about you and my longingsLe conversé de ti y de mis añoranzas
I told it about your kisses and my hopesLe conté de tus besos y de mis esperanzas
I told it about your forgetfulness, my many tearsLe conté de tu olvido, de mis lágrimas tantas
About what we lived and now has turned to nothingDe aquello que vivimos y que hoy se ha vuelto nada

I said it's possible that no one loves meLe dije que es posible que a mí nadie me quiera
Because I've tried to live my wayPorque he intentado vivir a mi manera
Because I've refused to pay the tributePorque me he negado a pagar el tributo
Of baseness and sins that the world demands of us todayDe bajeza y pecados que hoy nos exige el mundo

That maybe I'm finishedQue a lo mejor estoy acabada
Or life has defeated meO que la vida me ha vencido
That I've suffered and criedQue he sufrido y he llorado
That I've fought and laughedQue he luchado y he reído
And what have I gainedY que es lo que he ganado
For being so understandingPor ser así tan comprensiva
Just living desperateSolo vivir desesperada
In such an empty worldEn un mundo tan vacío

Last night, I was talking with my cigaretteAnoche, estuve conversando con mi cigarrillo
And when I finished, lost in thought, I remained with sighsY al terminarlo, pensando, me quedé entre suspiros
That in this sad verse, which is the world I live inQue en este verso triste, que es el mundo en que vivo
Only it remains for me as my only friendSolo él me va quedando como único amigo
