Translation

Un día estaba tomando

One day I was drinking

Adentro de una cantina

Inside a tavern

Cuando llego aquella dama

When that lady arrived

De blanco y muy delgadita

In white and very slim

Le dije venga conmigo

I said, come with me

A tomarse una copita

Have a little drink


Le pregunte que tomaba

I asked her what she drank

Cerveza o vino del fuerte

Beer or strong wine

Me contesto lo que sea

She replied, whatever

Al fin que yo soy la muerte

After all, I am death

Y no quieras vacilarme

And don't try to hesitate

Nomás vengo a recogerte

I just came to pick you up


Le dije: Ya que eso quieres

I said: Since that's what you want

Nada me importa la vida

Life doesn't matter to me

Por culpa de la mujeres

Because of women's fault

Quiero ahogarme en la bebida

I want to drown in drink

Acompáñame esta noche

Accompany me tonight

Luego te llevas mi vida

Then you can take my life


Al ver lo triste que estaba

Seeing how sad I was

Me dijo yo me arrepiento

She said, I regret

Voy a pedir por tu vida

I will pray for your life

Para que sigas viviendo

So that you keep on living

Los que sufren por amores

Those who suffer for loves

Deben de seguir viviendo

Should keep on living


Le dije: No seas ingrata

I said: Don't be ungrateful

Yo siempre fui buen amigo

I was always a good friend

Si es que no quieres matarme

If you don't want to kill me

Yo quiero ser tu marido

I want to be your husband

O por lo menos servirte

Or at least serve you

Como tu más fiel amigo

As your most loyal friend


Me dijo de despedida

She said goodbye

Para mi el amor no existe

For me, love doesn't exist

La muerte no tiene amigos

Death has no friends

Ni tiene quien la bendiga

Nor anyone to bless it

Aquí te quedas solito

Here you stay alone

Que te castigue la vida

May life punish you
