Me dio una sirimba un domingo en la mañana
He gave me a sirimba on a Sunday morning
Cuando menos lo pensaba
When I least thought about it
Caí redondo, como una guanábana, sobre la alcantarilla
I fell round, like a soursop, into the sewer
Será la presión o me ha subido la bilirrubina
Will it be the pressure or my bilirubin has gone up
Y me entró una calentura
And I got a hot flash.
Y me fui poniendo blanco como bola de naftalina
And I went white as a mothball.
Me llevaron a un hospital de gente, supuestamente

En la emergencia, el recepcionista escuchaba la lotería
In the emergency, the receptionist listened to the lottery
(Treinta mil pesos)

'Alguien se apiade de mí'
'Someone has mercy on me'
Grité perdiendo el sentido
I screamed losing my senses
Y una enfermera se acercó a mi oreja y me dijo
And a nurse came to my ear and told me
'Tranquilo, Bobby, tranquilo'
'Quiet, Bobby, quiet'
Me acarició con sus manos de Bengay y me dijo
He stroked me with his Bengay hands and told me
'¿Qué le pasa, atleta?'
'What's wrong with you, athlete?'
Y le conté con lujo de detalles lo que me había sucedido
And I told him in great detail what had happened to me.
'Hay que chequearte la presión
'You have to check your blood pressure
Pero la sala está ocupada, y mi querido
But the room is busy, and my dear
En este hospital no hay luz para un electrocardiograma'
In this hospital there is no light for an electrocardiogram'
Abrí los ojos como luna llena y me agarré la cabeza, juh
I opened my eyes like a full moon and grabbed my head, juh
Porque es muy duro pasar
