Décimas a La Muerte

Death is another beginning
At the same time, it's an end
It's a normal process
A leap into the abyss

But it drives us crazy
When we feel its presence
When it strikes with its claw
Upon the people we love
Even though we understand
Death is a damn punch!

Even if they paint it beautifully
Even if they think of it as smiling
Even if they show their teeth
And sing about it

No matter how many doctors
Tell us it's bearable
Even though it's so true
Inescapable and normal!
Death always fatal
It's a huge pain in the ass!

We must continue through life
Carrying our dead with us
Even though full of protests
The wounded soul burns

Give the body what it asks for
Sing with a worn-out voice
Feed the gaze
Live in the here and now!
Our time will come
To go straight to hell

(We live to die
We die to give life
Death is tears and pain
It's comfort and an exit)

We live to die
And while I'm alive, gentlemen
I don't tire of singing
My joys and my sorrows

(We live to die
We die to give life
Death is tears and pain
It's comfort and an exit)

We live to die
But we must live enjoying
There are dead full of life
And living who suffer

(We live to die
We die to give life
Death is tears and pain
It's comfort and an exit)

I only sing my truth
I sing it with feeling
I know I don't walk alone
My dead sing with me
