Gatito E'las Penas

Kitten of Sorrows

Gatito E'las Penas

When the pain hits, there's no one who canCuando la pena entra, no hay quien la pueda
Not wine nor ballads, they can't push it outNi vinos ni vidalas, la echan pa' afuera
It's a knife without a blade that sheaths inside the chestEs un cuchillo sin hoja que se envaina dentro 'el pecho
Of someone who couldn't pay the price for loveDe aquel que pa'l amor, no supo pagar derecho
Oh little life and sweetheart, what have you done to me!¡Ay vidita y churita, qué mal me has hecho!

So many things I've lost uphill on the roadsTantas cosas he perdido cuesta arriba en los caminos
On one side my heart, on the other side forgetfulnessDe un lado el corazón, del otro lado el olvido
When the pain hits, there's no one who canCuando la pena entra, no hay quien la pueda
When the pain hits, there's no one who canCuando la pena entra, no hay quien la pueda
Not wine nor ballads, they can't push it outNi vinos ni vidalas, la echan pa' afuera

Little by little I'll be getting there, step by step towards my deathPoco a poco iré llegando, paso a paso hacia mi muerte
And in the end, maybe when I'm old, I'll find my luckY al final que tal vez de viejo encuentre mi suerte
Oh little life and sweetheart, I don't want to see you!¡Ay vidita y churita, no quiero verte!
Let's see if I find comfort in my nighttime guitarA ver si encuentro consuelo en mi guitarra nochera
Strumming until I clear this kitten of sorrowsRasgueando hasta aclarar este gatito 'e las penas
When the pain hits, there's no one who canCuando la pena entra, no hay quien la pueda
