El Quirofano

En aquella esquina donde estaba siempre

In that corner where she always was

En la obscura noche

In the dark night

Con la pena ardiente

With burning sorrow

Los hombres cruzaban todos en escala

Men passed by in a hurry

Y hasta presumían que eran buenos clientes.

And even boasted that they were good clients

Ella sonreía con triste mirada

She smiled with a sad gaze

Y se retiraba en las madrugadas

And withdrew in the early morning

Cuando ya tenia con que alimentarme

When she already had what to feed me

Al amanecer

At sunrise

Y los vecinos reían a carcajadas

And the neighbors laughed heartily

Al ver su piel pintada un poco demacrada

Seeing her skin painted a little worn

Pero enclavada y aunque a capa y espada

But determined and even with all her might

Asiendo a lado todo me daba mucho amor

Holding everything by my side, she gave me much love

Pasaban los días pasaban los años

Days passed, years passed

Y yo ya sabia que era un pecado

And I already knew it was a sin

Y yo usaba fino calzado y camisa

I wore fine shoes and a shirt

Y mis pantalones bien arrejuntados

And my trousers well put together

Pero no podía seguir por más tiempo

But I couldn't go on any longer

Porque aquellas noches me daban tormento

Because those nights tormented me

Y me daba pena que yo la encontrara

And I felt embarrassed to find her

Vendiendo su amor

Selling her love

Y era mi madre por eso fui y soy medico

And she was my mother, that's why I became a doctor

Pero grande es mi pena estaba muy enferma

But great is my sorrow, she was very sick

Yen el quirófano donde siempre opero

And in the operating room where I always operate

Se me quedo dormida pidiéndome un beso

She fell asleep asking me for a kiss
