ESTOY EMBRIAGADO, I AM DRUNK

Estoy embriagado

Estoy embriagado, lloro, me aflijo,
pienso, digo,
en mi interior lo encuentro:
si yo nunca muriera,
si nunca desapareciera.
Allá donde no hay muerte,
allá donde ella es conquistada,
que allá vaya yo.
Si yo nunca muriera,
si yo nunca desapareciera.

I am drunk

I am drunk, I cry, I grieve,

I think, I talk,

inside I find it:

if I were to never die,

if I were to never disappear.

In the place where there is no death,

in the place where life is not conquered,

that there I may go.

If I were to never die,

if I were to never disappear.
