La Chica Triste Que Te Hacía Reir
Enrique Bunbury
The Sad Girl Who Made You Laugh
If you didn't like getting into trouble so much,
If you chose a paved road once in a while,
You would keep the northern hat,
And the sad girl who made you laugh.
Even if you didn't love her, nor she you,
You were thirsty, always at the same time, in the same places, in the bars;
You would keep the full pocket,
And the sad girl who made you laugh.
Don't take me to the hospital. It's not that I don't trust,
It's that I don't trust Western medicine.
Don't take me to the hospital. I'm feeling better already!
The older you get, you said, the freer you become.
Less money they take from you, and less weight to carry.
Lately, you're very light,
Without the sad girl who made you laugh.
There's always another place on the border,
Hope always remains, and maybe tomorrow,
The dawn will bring you back
To the sad girl who made you laugh.
Don't take me to the hospital. It's not that I don't trust,
It's that I don't trust Western medicine.
Don't take me to the hospital. I'm already better!
Make sure they leave you near the stop,
The closest one, and away from the target,
And don't worry about not saying goodbye to anyone.
