My Friend Sebastian

Mi Amigo Sebastian

I fought all my life, a middle-class manLucho toda una vida, un hombre de clase media
And from afar, you can tell, the air of a good personY de lejos se puede notar, el aire de buena gente
He never had much time to cultivate his witNunca tuvo mucho tiempo para cultivar su ingenio
But he's smarter than he seems, you can tell by his gazePero es mas listo de lo que se ve, se le nota en la mirada
Oh!, tired, tiredAy!, cansada, cansada
He's getting slower every time,Cada vez va mas lento,
Leaning on the cane on the left sideApoyando el baston del lado izquierdo
And he talks to you and tells youY te habla y te cuenta
About those timesDe que tiempo aquellos
Full of dust and lonelinessLlenos de polvo y soledad

Married very youngCaso desde muy joven
He's been a widower for a long timeEnviudo hace mucho tiempo
A single son who never came backUn solo hijo que jamas volvio
Maybe the earth swallowed him upTal vez se lo trago la tierra
And he never had much luckY nunca tuvo mucha suerte
When it comes to moneySi es que se habla de dinero
Without realizing, he just stayed, almost with a whole centurySin darse cuenta solo se quedo, y casi con un siglo entero
And he waits, and he waitsY espera, y espera
For the state to give him a pittance every fortnightA que cada quincena, el estado le pase una miseria
How lucky, how luckyQue suerte, que suerte
Maybe he'll treat himself to a dinner and God will decide tomorrowTal vez se pague una cena y para mañana dios dira

And it's been a few days since I've seen him pass byY van unos dias que ya no lo veo pasar
How strange!Que raro!
Maybe he went somewhere elseTal vez se fue a otro lugar
How strange!Que raro!
Without saying goodbye and without telling me anythingSin despedirse y sin decirme nada
Maybe he didn't have time to warnTal vez no le dio tiempo de avisar
I hope he finds peaceOjala que encuentre paz
