Muerto se quedó en la calle
con un puñal en el pecho.
No lo conocía nadie.
¡Cómo temblaba el farol!
Madre.
¡Cómo temblaba el farolito
de la calle!
Era madrugada. Nadie
pudo asomarse a sus ojos
abiertos al duro aire.
Que muerto se quedó en la calle
que con un puñal en el pecho
y que no lo conocía nadie.
Translation to English: Surprise
He was left dead on the street
with a dagger in the chest.
No one knew him.
How the lantern trembled!
Mother.
How the little lantern trembled
from the street!
It was early morning. Nobody
was able to look into his eyes
open to the harsh air.
That dead man was left in the street
that with a dagger in the chest
and that no one knew him.
