Nadie es eterno en el mundo [English translation]

No one is eternal in this world

not even for having a heart

that feels and sighs yearns

deeply for life and for love.

Everything ends with time, 1

tell me, what do you take? 2

when nothing remains after time,

not even a tomb nor a cross.

When you're all saying farewell to me

with a last goodbye from this world,

don't cry for me because no one is eternal,

no one comes back from their deep sleep.

You will suffer, you will cry

until you become accustomed to loss,

then you'll give in

when you never see me again.

Goodbye to those who stay,

I always wanted to sing to them:

good luck and enjoy it as much as you can,

there's no time to cry now.

Don't cry for those who die

because they're gone forever,

watch over those that remain,

if you can lend them a hand.

When you're all saying farewell to me

with a last goodbye from this world,

don't cry for me because no one is eternal,

no one comes back from their deep sleep.

You will suffer, you will cry

until you become accustomed to loss,

then you'll give in

when you never see me again.
