Era el proceso mensual
It was the monthly process
Más tardío de su historia
The latest in her history
Fue a una amiga del colegio
She went to a friend from school
A la que le compartió su memoria
To whom she shared her memory
Le contó que dos meses atrás
She told her that two months ago
Con aquel muchacho fugaz
With that fleeting boy
Hicieron tremendo pastel en aquel viejo hotel
They made a huge cake in that old hotel
El anciano facultativo
The elderly doctor
Después de las pruebas, anunció el positivo
After the tests, announced the positive
Y para estas alturas
And by this point
El futuro padre ya era un fugitivo
The future father was already a fugitive
Y mientras un rotativo
And while a newspaper
Anuncia la trillada utopía de la deuda externa
Announces the worn-out utopia of external debt
A esa niña le fabrica su pecho una savia materna
That girl has a maternal sap forming in her chest
Llevas una estrella en tu vientre
You carry a star in your womb
Llevas una vida que late
You carry a life that beats
Un posible ingeniero, roquero o escritor
A potential engineer, rocker, or writer
Quizá bohemio, quizá un señor
Maybe a bohemian, maybe a gentleman
Quizá compositor, poeta, medio loco o trovador
Maybe a composer, poet, half-crazy or troubadour
Quizá una idea, quizá una solución
Maybe an idea, maybe a solution
Ha buscado entre sus amigas
She has searched among her friends
El mejor de los consejos
For the best of advice
Que van desde una inyección
That ranges from an injection
Hasta una sopa de cangrejos
To a crab soup
Y sin la menor precaución
And without the slightest precaution
Tres médicos le dieron su cotización
Three doctors gave her their quote
Mientras le anuncian en la tele otra devaluación
While they announce another devaluation on TV
Llevas una estrella en tu vientre
You carry a star in your womb
Llevas una vida que late
You carry a life that beats
Un posible ingeniero, roquero o escritor
A potential engineer, rocker, or writer
Quizá bohemio, quizá un señor
Perhaps a bohemian, perhaps a gentleman
Quizá compositor, poeta, medio loco o trovador
Perhaps a composer, poet, half-crazy or troubadour
Quizá una idea, quizá una solución
Perhaps an idea, perhaps a solution
A esa estrella en tu vientre
To that star in your womb
No le digas "detente"
Don't tell her to 'stop'
Si lo hubiesen hecho conmigo
If they had done that to me
Hoy faltaría una canción
Today, there would be a song missing
