La extraña muerte de Juan Pérez

Strange Death Of John Doe

Te cantaré una canción y no es muy larga.I'll sing you a song and it's not very long.
Es sobre un joven que nunca hizo nada malo;It's about a young man who never did wrong;
De repente murió un día.Suddenly he died one day.
La razón, nadie la diría.The reason why, no one would say.

Era alto y delgado y sus brazos eran fuertes,He was tall and long and his arms were strong,
Y esta es la parte extraña de mi canción;And this is the strange part of my song;
Siempre estuvo bien de pies a cabeza,He was always well from foot to head,
Y luego un día lo encontraron muerto.And then one day they found him dead.

Lo encontraron muerto, según me han contado,They found him dead so I've been told,
Sus ojos estaban cerrados, su corazón estaba frío;His eyes were closed, his heart was cold;
Sólo una pista de por qué murió -Only one clue to why he died -
Un bayoneta clavada en su costado.A bayonet sticking in his side.
