Déjame vivir con alegría [English translation]

Let me rest a while in the sun

Let me live with joy

If I fished too much for today

Tomorrow is another day

A winkle won't last

I don't trade your pineapples for my lemon

I don't trade your salmon for my red mullet

Put your Rolleiflex in a drawer

Take the door and get out

I don't want you in my corner

And a prickly pear and an olive

I discovered your new world with Columbus

And an olive and a prickly pear

Go to your moon and leave me in my corner

Dark is my pigmentation

And my body is bony and resistant

Blond people have compassion for me

Because I miss some tooth

And I laugh mumbling

With a date as food

With a date I invented democracy

With a date I beat you in the marathon

It's not funny at all

That you have compassion for me
