La Flaca

They ask me why
Sometimes I kick back
It's because there's a skinny one
On my heels

So much singing to life
Today I'll sing to death
An uninvited guest
A visit of bad luck

She's already taken my grandparents
My brother and my friend
She also took my parents
And my beloved son, Wheat

So much singing to the fat one
Today I'll sing to the skinny one
By the way, she's blind and deaf
And no one escapes her

She takes the poor and the rich
Daily she takes so many
She takes the big and the small
She takes devils and saints

She pulled me a few times
But it was just a joke
She wants me to see more lights
Stuck up there on my hill

She pushed me a few times
But it was just a joke
She wants me to see more crosses
Stuck up there on my hill

So much singing to life
I forgot about her twin
Maybe because one is beautiful
The other, bald and toothless

And on the flanks of my horse
Sometimes she's been with me
She finds me ugly and skinny
That's why she hasn't taken me

She already took my buddy
My uncle, my nephew
She always hits where it hurts
She took my godfather

She takes the poor and the rich
Daily she takes so many
Collects crucifixes
Profits from the graveyards

She pulled me a few times
But it was just a joke
She wants me to see more lights
Stuck up there on my hill

She pulled me a few times
But it was just a joke
She wants me to see more crosses
Stuck up there on my hill

And that you see more lights
If you peek into eternity
