Si pides el cielo
If you ask for the sky
Lo pondré a tus pies
I’ll lay it at your feet
Frases de comedia
Comedy phrases
Que nunca diré
That I will never say
Supe del destino
I learned of fate
Lo que nunca quise oir
What I never wanted to hear
Mucho has de llorar
You'll have to cry a lot
Poco has de reir
You'll laugh little
Corto es el camino
The path is short
Ya tú lo verás
You’ll see for yourself
Más resulta fácil
But it turns out to be easy
En la adversidad
In adversity
Somos en la vida
We are in life
Polvo, nada, que más da
Dust, nothing, what does it matter
Y eso es lo que al fin
And that's what will finally
Nos separará
Separate us
Es inútil que pienses
It’s useless to think
En la felicidad
About happiness
Tiene mucho de ausencia
It has much of absence
Su existencia fugaz
Its fleeting existence
Pues está en escena
For it is on stage
La comedia ya
The comedy already
Solo como extra
Just as an extra
He de figurar
I will figure
Sé que se titula
I know it’s titled
Sufrimiento terrenal
Earthly suffering
Y entre el bien y el mal
And between good and evil
Seguirá el amor
Love will continue
Es inútil que pienses
It’s useless to think
En la felicidad
About happiness
Tiene mucho de ausencia
It has much of absence
Su existencia fugaz
Its fleeting existence
Pues está en escena
For it is on stage
La comedia ya
The comedy already
Solo como extra
Just as an extra
He de figurar
I will figure
Sé que se titula
I know it’s titled
Sufrimiento terrenal
Earthly suffering
Y entre el bien y el mal
And between good and evil
Seguirá el amor
Love will continue
Seguirá el amor
Love will continue
