Pa'mi es igual - Alfredo de Angelis Übersetzung ins Englische

Pa'mi es igual

Aquí estamos los dos, bien frente a frente,
Dame tu mano, machucá la mía;
La desgracia ha venido en este día
Para ver si somos hombres de verdad.
Hoy lo supe, te juro que he llorado
Pobrecita tu vieja, quien diría,
Tan guapaza, la santa, me quería...
Como a vos que eras su hijo, ¿te acordás?

Desembuchá el dolor, vení sentate;
Olvidemos aquello que ha pasado
Que nos tuvo diez años distanciados
Y el corazón sin asco nos bandeó.
Mirame hermano, que hace mucho tiempo
Que no nos vemos, que no nos hablamos;
¿Mirá si estamos viejos ya blanqueamos?

Esas canas que hoy cinchan la vejez.

Total, por unos ojos y una boca
Más roja que la sangre de esa tarde
Ninguno de los dos fuimos cobardes;
Me tiraste un hachazo... lo atajé.
En fin, eso pasó. ¿qué? ¿estás llorando?
Mirá, si te ha hecho daño mi pasada...
Después de darle un beso a la finada
Yo me voy, si vos querés, pa' mí es igual.

It's All the Same to Me

Here we are the two of us, face to face,
Give me your hand, crush mine;
Misfortune has come this day
To see if we are truly men.
Today I found out, I swear I've cried
Poor little old lady, who would have thought,
So beautiful, the saint, she loved me...
Just like you were her son, remember?

Let your sorrow go, come sit down;
Let's forget all that has happened
That has kept us apart for ten years
And our hearts have turned cold.
Look at me brother, it's been a long time
Since we've seen each other, since we've spoken;
Look how old we are, we've already turned gray?

Those gray hairs that now mark the old age.

All in all, for a pair of eyes and a mouth
Redder than the blood that afternoon
Neither of us were cowards;
You threw an ax at me... I stopped it.
Anyway, that's all in the past. What? Are you crying?
Look, if my past has hurt you...
After giving a kiss to the deceased
I'll leave, if you want, it's all the same to me.
