¡Ay!
Oh!
Qué hombre que maneja el aparato
What a man who drives the machine
Cuando volteé lo tenía arriba
When I turned, he had it up high
Es una luz
It's a light
Algún tiempo me dejó inmovil
For some time, it left me immobilized
Solo me quedó el zumbido
All that was left was the buzzing
De la luz
Of the light
Lo escuchaba en mi cabeza
I could hear it in my head
En lengua extraña me hablaba
He spoke to me in a strange tongue
Pero entendí
But I understood
Lo juro que no había tomado
I swear I hadn't taken anything
Solo estaba encandilado
I was just dazzled
La hora perdí
I lost track of time
Ay, yo sé que vendrá por mí, ah, ah ah ah ah
Oh, I know that it will come for me, ah, ah ah ah ah
Y me llevará a un jardín, ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
And it will take me to a garden, ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
¡Ay! (¡Ay!)
Oh! (Oh!)
Cuando me encontré con Pablo
When I met Pablo
Fue que me contó esta historia
He told me this story
Y no le creí
And I didn't believe him
Eso fue algunos meses
That was a few months ago
Desde entonces que no lo vemos
Since then we haven't seen him
Mas por aquí
But right here
Ya no sé ni qué pensar
I don't even know what to think anymore
Desde que llegó una carta
Ever since a letter arrived
Del hospital
From the hospital
Pablo tiene quemaduras
Pablo has burns
Y ceguera permanente
And permanent blindness
No quiere hablar
He doesn't want to talk
Ay, yo sé que vendrá por mí, ah ah ah ah ah
Oh, I know he'll come for me, ah ah ah ah ah
Y me llevará a un jardín, ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
And he'll take me to a garden, ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
Ay, yo sé que vendrá por mí
Oh, I know that he will come for me
Y me llevará a un jardín ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
And he will take me to a garden ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
Eya, eya eya he... eya he, eya he... eya he, eya
Yeah, yeah yeah he... yeah he, yeah he... yeah he, yeah
Eya, eya eya he... eya he, eya he... eya he, eya
