El Día de los Muertos [English translation]

The moment arrived

I didn't even choose the wood

A long time ago

I was on the waiting list.

I never stopped

To arrange my funeral

How many guests

Which Gospels.

And all of a sudden

The light went out

New residence

Between the tomb and the cross.

To the clan of the dead

Now I am a new graduate

Today officially

I will begin my legacy to be carried out.

Maybe I was a nobody

But never run-of-the-mill

And now that I've died

It won't take that gift away from me.

It was my fault

Because I knew that I was mortal

I ask for an apology

For not attacking that evil.

If I was already aware

That I was allergic to death

What do I do in this place

Where now I lie inert.

Lower the coffin

I won't make trouble for you guys anymore

And without mercy

Throw me a fistful of dirt and close the lid.

(Spoken)

For today, for me the world has just ended

In this world of the blind, as you all know,

The king is always the one-eyed man.

I was already condemned

And I will keep waiting for your gifts

On the Day of the Dead.
