Terminal

It was a regular Monday eveningEra un lunes común por la noche

I was feeling a big weakMe sentía bastante débil

I blamed it on being out in the sun for too longLo atribuí a estar demasiado tiempo bajo el sol

It was about seven as my phone rangEran cerca de las siete cuando sonó mi teléfono

It was my doctor and life-time confidanteEra mi médico y confidente de toda la vida

He didn't seem to be himself that nightNo parecía ser él mismo esa noche

In his voice I heard some king of frightEn su voz escuché cierto tipo de miedo

I asked him jokingly why he called and then statedLe pregunté en broma por qué llamaba y luego mencionó

Jokes about dying of some rare diseaseChistes sobre morir de alguna enfermedad rara

It was at this point that I knew that something was wrongFue en ese momento que supe que algo estaba mal

He then proceeded to tell me my brief and boring medical historyLuego procedió a contarme mi breve y aburrida historia médica

Finally he laid it on me I has cancer and it was terminalFinalmente me lo dijo, tenía cáncer y era terminal

The days that followed were difficultLos días que siguieron fueron difíciles

The reactions varied from person to reasonLas reacciones variaban de persona a razón

My parents told me to be strong and reassured meMis padres me dijeron que fuera fuerte y me tranquilizaron

That they were there for meQue estaban allí para mí

Finally I realized I have cancer and it's terminalFinalmente me di cuenta de que tengo cáncer y es terminal

I have to deal with it, trying to help myselfTengo que lidiar con ello, tratando de ayudarme a mí mismo

I felt ostracised from my family and friendsMe sentí marginado de mi familia y amigos

Everyone said that they were concernedTodos decían que estaban preocupados

But no one really knows what they should doPero nadie realmente sabe qué hacer

No one really knows what to doNadie realmente sabe qué hacer

Difficult days not getting madDías difíciles sin enojarse

Difficult days the days you know you will dieDías difíciles, los días que sabes que morirás
