Flores En La Tumba De Un Vasquito (original)Flores En La Tumba De Un Vasquito (translation)
Excepto las de la imaginación Except the ones in the imagination
Había perdido todas las batallas She had lost all the battles
Un domingo sin fútbol (una tarde de lluvia) nos contó One Sunday without football (a rainy afternoon) he told us
Vencido, que tiraba la toalla Defeated, who threw in the towel
Y nadie lo creyó And no one believed it
Pero, esta vez, no iba de farol But this time he wasn't bluffing.
Al día siguiente se afanó (consiguió) una cuerda The next day he toiled (got) a rope
Y, en lugar de rezar una oración And instead of saying a prayer
Mandó al mundo a la mierda He sent the world to hell
Y de un «palo borracho"(del arbol) se colgó And from a "drunk stick" (from the tree) he hung himself
Debía luca y media (quince meses) de alquiler He owed luca and a half (fifteen months) of rent
Dejó en herencia un verso de Neruda He bequeathed a verse by Neruda
Un tazón con pestañas (barquitos) de papel A bowl with paper tabs (boats)
Flotando en el café floating in the cafe
Y una guitarra tísica y viuda And a consumptive and widowed guitar
Lo poco que tenía lo invirtió The little he had he invested
En un hueso de lujo para el perro In a fancy bone for the dog
Y en pagar al contado la mejor (mayor) And in paying in cash the best (highest)
Corona que encontró Crown that he found
Para que hubiera flores en su entierro So that there would be flowers at his funeral
Veinte años atrás lo conocí Twenty years ago I met him
En Londres, conspirando contra Franco In London, plotting against Franco
Era el rey del aceite de hachís He was the king of hash oil
Y le excitaba más robar un banco And he was more excited to rob a bank
Que el mayo de París That the May of Paris
Por Florida (Corrientes) lo vi la última vez For Florida (Corrientes) I saw him the last time
Con su traje anacrónico (aire melancolico) y marchito With his anachronistic suit of him (melancholic air) and withered
Estudiando (al mirar) el menú de un cabaret Studying (when looking at) the menu of a cabaret
«¡Hay comida, mi plato favorito!» "There is food, my favorite dish!"
Gritó para joder (por ofender) He yelled to fuck (to offend)
Debía luca y media (quince meses) de alquiler I owed luca and a half (fifteen months) of rent
Una lágrima de Líli Marlen A tear of Lili Marlen
Flotando en el café floating in the cafe
Y una guitarra tísica (clasica) y viuda And a consumptive guitar (classical) and a widow
Lo poco que tenía lo invirtió The little he had he invested
En un hueso de lujo para el perro In a fancy bone for the dog
Y en pagar al contado la mejor (mayor) And in paying in cash the best (highest)
Corona que encontró Crown that he found
Para que hubiera flores en su entierro So that there would be flowers at his funeral
(Ayer hizó dos meses que se fue) (Yesterday he made two months that he left)
Parece que fue ayer cuando se fue It seems like yesterday that he left
Al barrio que hay detrás de las estrellas To the neighborhood behind the stars
La muerte, que es celosa y es mujer Death, that she is jealous and is a woman
Se encaprichó con él She fell in love with him
Y lo llevó a dormir siempre con ellaAnd she took him to always sleep with her
