Adiós muchachos [English translation]

Goodbye my friends, my companions in life

My beloved gang, from the good old days

It's my turn to retire at present

I must take distance from my good, faithful friends

Goodbye, my friends; I'm leaving, and I'm resigned to my fate

Nobody can win a duel with destiny

All parties are over for me

My body's overcome by illness; it does not resist anymore

Memories from erstwhile days come visit me in my mind

Memories from the beautiful moments I enjoyed in bygone times

When I still had my mother and was so close to her -- a saint she was,

And my dear girlfriend whom I adored so much.

Do you remember, friends? She was beautiful, lovelier than a goddess

And I gave her my heart, sprightly with love

Nevertheless, the Lord -- jealous of her charm,

Took her away from me and sank me into tears and depression

God's the supreme judge, we cannot fight Him

I'm all too used to respecting His law by now

Because he undid my life with His commands,

As he took my mother from me, and my fiancée too

Two are the sincere farewell tears I shed

For you, my beloved gang of friends that never forgot about me,

In bidding my friends this final goodbye of all,

With all my soul, I give you all my blessing.

Goodbye my friends, my companions in life

My beloved gang, from the good old days

It's my turn to retire at present

I must depart from my beautiful friends

Goodbye, my friends; I'm leaving, and I'm resigned to my fate

Nobody can win a duel with destiny

All parties are over for me

My body's overcome by illness; it does not resist anymore
