La Balada Del Diablo y La Muerte

The devil was in a bad position
On the corner of my neighborhood
Where the wind bends
And shortcuts cross

Next to him, was death
With a bottle in hand
They looked at me sideways
And chuckled under their breath

And I, waiting for I don't know who
On the other side of the autumn street
One night with a scarf
That found me sleepless

Under my breath, I heard death
Saying, saying like this

How many times has it escaped
Like a mouse through a tightrope
And tonight, it costs nothing
Not even to tire me out
We can take a lamb
Just by crossing the street

I hid behind the fog
And gazed into the infinite
To see if that one arrived
Who was never going to come

The devil was in a bad position
On the corner of my neighborhood
Next to him, was death
With a bottle in hand

And trembling like a leaf
I crossed to confront them
And I said: It seems to me that this time
They left me well planted

I asked for a light and from my pocket
I took out a branch to offer them
And under an autumn tree
We stayed chatting

They told me about their lives
Their triumphs and failures
That the world was crazy
And even the sky was bought

And more fear than the two of them
Was given by the human being itself
Ooh, ooh

And I was no longer waiting for anyone
And amid the laughter of the coven
The devil and death
Became friends with me

Where the wind bends
And shortcuts cross
Where life toasts
On the corner of my neighborhood

The devil and death
Became friends with me
Where the wind bends
And shortcuts cross
