Death Singing

In the straw-colored lightEn la luz color paja

In light rapidly changingEn la luz que cambia rápidamente

On a life rapidly fadingEn una vida que se desvanece rápidamente

Have you seen death singing¿Has visto a la muerte cantando?

Have you seen death singing¿Has visto a la muerte cantando?

With a throat smooth as a lambCon una garganta suave como un cordero

Yet dry as a branch not snappingAún seca como una rama que no se quiebra

He throws back his headÉl echa hacia atrás la cabeza

And he does not sing a thing mournfulY no canta nada triste

Have you seen death singing¿Has visto a la muerte cantando?

Have you seen death singing¿Has visto a la muerte cantando?

Have you seen death singing¿Has visto a la muerte cantando?

In the straw-colored lightEn la luz color paja

He sings a black embradeÉl canta un abrazo negro

And white opals swimmingY ópalos blancos nadando

In a child's leather purseEn la bolsa de cuero de un niño

Have you seen death swimming¿Has visto a la muerte nadando?

Have you seen death swimming¿Has visto a la muerte nadando?

With a throat smooth as a lambCon una garganta suave como un cordero

Yet dry as a branch not snappingAún seca como una rama que no se quiebra

He throws back his headÉl echa hacia atrás la cabeza

And he does not sing a thing mournfulY no canta nada triste

Have you seen death singing¿Has visto a la muerte cantando?

Have you seen death singing¿Has visto a la muerte cantando?

Have you seen death singing¿Has visto a la muerte cantando?

In the straw-colored lightEn la luz color paja

He sings of youth enragedÉl canta de la juventud enfurecida

And the burning of AtlantaY la quema de Atlanta

And these viral timesY estos tiempos virales

And May ribbons streamingY cintas de mayo ondeando

And straw-colored curls a-turningY rizos color paja girando

A mother's vain delightEl vano deleite de una madre

And woe to the sunY ay del sol

And woe to the youngY ay de los jóvenes

Another hearse is drawnOtro coche fúnebre es llevado

Have you seen death singing¿Has visto a la muerte cantando?

In the straw-colored lightEn la luz color paja
