En las Vegas la ruleta

En New York la soledad

En la China una etiqueta

Íba el cojo a su muleta
The lame man went to his crutch
El sicario a perseguir

Otra misa haciendo dieta

Todos a sobrevivir

Un farol alumbra un beso
A lantern lights a kiss
Hay un gato en el placar
There is a cat in the closet
Y la artritis a los huesos
And arthritis to the bones
Y el reloj siempre a contar
And the clock will always count
Vives para morir
You live to die
Respira fuerte
Breathe hard
Solo te queda huir
You only have to run away
No busques suerte

Canta en vez de llorar
Sing instead of cry
Quieres ser inmune a todo lo que duela

Quiero ser lo que no he sido

Tanta agua y tanta sed
So much water and so thirsty
Me cansé de estar cansado

De un carnet de identidad
