Sentémonos a pensar
Let's sit down and think
La vida ha de continuar
Life must go on
Fingiendo amor donde no hay
Faking love where there isn't any
Y fingiendo una sinceridad
And pretending to have sincerity
Es cierto, se debe admitir
It's true, we must admit
El mundo está lleno de maldad
The world is full of wickedness
Pero al estudiar la situación
But when we study the situation
Entraremos en razón
We'll come to our senses
Y ya verás
And you'll see
Cuando descanse te hablaré de un algo extraño
When I rest, I'll tell you of something strange
Y vida mía te diré mi desengaño
And my life, I'll tell you my disillusionment
Cuando descanse te hablaré de un algo extraño
When I rest, I'll talk to you about something strange
Y vida mía te diré mi desengaño
And my life, I'll tell you my disillusionment
Y esto toma, Jimmy
And here, take this, Jimmy
Qué bonito
How beautiful
Cuando descanse te hablaré de un algo extraño
When I rest, I'll talk to you about something strange
Y vida mía te diré mi desengaño
And my life, I'll tell you my disillusionment
Hay que vivir el momento
We must live in the moment
Que no se importe el pasado
Let the past not matter
No ves que al pasar el tiempo
Don't you see that as time goes by
Todito queda olvidado, olvidado es
Everything is left forgotten, forgotten it is
Cuando descanse te hablaré de un algo extraño
When I rest, I'll tell you about something strange
Y vida mía te diré mi desengaño
And my love, I'll share my disappointment with you
Pero recuerdo que dijiste que me querías
But I remember you said you loved me
Que nunca me olvidarías
That you'd never forget me
Y ahora vivo convencido
And now I live convinced
Que eso era mentiras tuyas, mentiras tuyas son
That those were your lies, your lies they are
Cuando descanse te hablaré de un algo extraño
When I rest, I'll tell you about something strange
Háblame, mi amor
Talk to me, my love
Y vida mía te diré mi desengaño
And my love, I'll share my disappointment with you
Cuando descanse te hablaré de un algo extraño
When I rest, I'll tell you about something strange
Y vida mía te diré mi desengaño
And my love, I'll share my disillusionment
Y cuando nadie escuche mis canciones ya viejas
And when no one hears my old songs anymore
Detendré mi camino en el pueblo de Hatillo y allí moriré
I'll stop my journey in the town of Hatillo and there I'll die
Y entonces
And then
Cuando descanse te hablaré de un algo extraño
When I rest, I'll tell you about something strange
Y a Roberto me llevaré
And I'll take Roberto with me
Y vida mía te diré mi desengaño
And my love, I'll share my disillusionment
