Paroles et traduction Yoskar Sarante - El Cigarrillo

El Cigarrillo

Anoche estuve conversando con mi cigarrillo
me senti cansada, cansada, aburrida y tan vacia
que a veces hasta pienso, que ni siquiera existo
que a veces hasta pienso, que ni siquiera existo
lo encendi muy lentamente le di una fumada
y al mirar el humo que en el espacio se volatizaba
recorde tantas cosas que crei olvidadas
se las conte todas mientras que lo fumaba
le converse de ti y de mis añoranzas
le conte de tus besos y de mis esperanzas
le conte de tu olvido, de mis lagrimas tantas
de aquello que vivimos y que hoy se ha vuelto nada
le dije que es posible que a mi nadie me quiera
por que he intentado vivir a mi manera
por que me he negado a pagar el tributo
de bajeza y pecado que hoy nos exige el mundo.
que a la mejor estoy acabada o que la vida me ha vencido
que he sufrido y he llorado, que he luchado y he reido
y que es lo que he ganado por ser asi tan comprensiva
solo vivir desesperada, en un mundo tan vacio.
anoche estuve conversando con mi cigarrillo
y al terminarlo pensando me quede entre suspìros
que en este verso triste, que es el mundo en que vivo
solo el me va quedando, como unico amigo.

The Cigarette

I was having a conversation with my cigarette last night
i felt tired, tired, bored and so empty
that sometimes I even think, that I don't even exist
that sometimes I even think, that I don't even exist
i turned it on very slowly I gave it a smoke
and when I looked at the smoke that was blowing up in space
i remember so many things that I thought I'd forgotten
i told them all while I was smoking it
i talked to him about you and my longings
i tell her of your kisses and of my hopes
i tell him of your forgetfulness, of my tears so many
of that which we live and which today has become nothing
i told him that it's possible that no one wants me
because I've tried to live my own way
because I have refused to pay the tribute
of baseness and sin that the world demands of us today.
that maybe I'm finished or that life has beaten me
that I have suffered and cried, that I have fought and laughed
and that's what I've gained by being so understanding
just living in despair, in such an empty world.
I was having a conversation with my cigarette last night
and when I finished it thinking I stayed between sighs
that in this sad verse, that's the world I live in
he's the only one who stays with me, as the only friend.
