Sueño Eterno
Tankeone Lyrics

Con ahí va con su conciencia, incapaz, de dejarme en paz
Ernesto is burdened with his conscience, unable to find peace of mind.

Con la esperanza, además, de tirar de la Fas
He hopes to uplift the marginalized community with his music.

¡Por cierto! Cobardeado o no, aun que luzca despierto
Whether seen as a coward or not, he is still struggling to cope.

Va anhelando el sueño eterno, va de nuevo Ernesto
Ernesto longs for eternal sleep, contemplating suicide.

Amaneció de nuevo, acomodando sus recuerdos
Another day dawns as he sorts through his memories.

Sin pensar si quiera en levantarse con el pie izquierdo
He does not even consider starting the day on the wrong foot.

El ultimo bostezo pa' meterse a bañar
After a final yawn, he enters the shower to get ready for the day.

El espejo le indicaba que todo saldría mal
The mirror reflects his negative outlook on life.

Su barbilla cortada con la navaja de afeitar
He accidentally cut himself while shaving.

Sangre brota, pero aun así tenia que trabajar
Despite bleeding, he still has to go to work.

Se ajusto las botas, no había nada de desayunar
He puts on his boots, but there is nothing to eat for breakfast.

Una pelea mas con su mujer, estaba a reventar
He has another argument with his wife, who is on the verge of exploding.

Entre gritos, quema que raro, va almorzándose un cigarro
Amidst shouting, he eats a cigarette for lunch.

En la quinta avenida, pierde el control, desvíela el carro
He loses control of his car on Fifth Avenue and crashes.

Se bajo del mismo, lo rempujó para estacionarlo
He gets out of the car and pushes it to park it properly.

Dos malandros en la esquina se echaban para asaltarlo
Two thugs wait on the corner to rob him.

Sin cartera y portafolio, su bolsa había unos varos
He only has a little bit of money in his bag, with no wallet or portfolio.

Se subió al camión y va directo para su trabajo
He gets on a bus and heads directly to work.

Llego por fin, para explicarles lo ocurrido
He finally arrives to try and explain what happened.

Y su jefe lo primero que dijo '¡Estas despedido!'
His boss immediately fires him.

Salió sin finiquito, de regreso a su posada
He leaves without any severance pay and heads back to his boarding house.

Un mensaje de su hija 'Pá, estoy embarazada' (¿¡Que¡?)
He receives a shocking message from his daughter that she is pregnant.

Corriendo pa' su casa, la vida no le importaba
He rushes home, not caring about anything else but his daughter.

Y cuando llega su mujer, junto a su amante acostada (¡Nooo!)
When he arrives, he finds his wife in bed with another man.

Agarro sus cosas, salió sin decirles nada
He grabs his things and leaves without saying anything.

Solamente faltaba que un piche perro lo miara
He feels like everybody is looking at him, judging him.

Quizá era una pesadilla o soñaba despierto
He wonders if this is all a nightmare or if he is awake.

Se pellizco y confirmó, todo era cierto
He pinches himself and realizes that it is all real.

Su conciencia, urgentemente, lanzo un grito y auxilio
His conscience screams for help.

Automáticamente pensó en el suicidio
He immediately thinks about ending his life by suicide.

¡Suicidio! Un acto de cobardía
He realizes that suicide is considered a cowardly act.

Que solamente un valiente ejecutaría
But only a brave person would be able to do it.

¡Valiente! Desgastado o impaciente
He questions whether he is brave or just tired and impatient.

Incapaz de vislumbrar que algo bueno viene enfrente
He is unable to see that good things may still come in the future.

Paso un tendedero, tomo una vieja cuerda
He walks by a clothesline and takes an old rope.

Una voz en su mente repetía '¡Vales pura mierda!'
A voice in his head keeps telling him that he's worthless.

¿Por que no hacerlo? Las razones eran obvias
He wonders why he shouldn't do it, since the reasons are clear.

El final de su historia, escrita con mano propia
He writes the end of his own story.

El acto se consumo, se dejo caer de un roble
He carries out the act and hangs himself from a tree.

¿Por que todo salió mal? Si había sido un hombre noble
He wonders why everything went wrong, despite being a good man.

Su cuello oprimido por una cuerda oxidada
He chokes as an old, rusty rope tightens around his neck.

Y una carta en su bolsillo que decía 'No valgo nada'
A note in his pocket reads, 'I am worthless.'

Una luz dentro del túnel dijo 'Ernesto no te toca'
He sees a light at the end of a tunnel, but it tells him it's not his time yet.

Abrió los ojos y la cuerda estaba rota
He wakes up to find the rope broken and himself still alive.
