Don’t let your sorrows
blow away in the wind,
for they will be strangers
to those who hear the truth.
Don’t expect a hand
to ease your pain,
they’ll only call you poor
and then it’s over.
That’s why I amuse myself,
I don’t want to feel them,
I don’t want to hear laments
that sour life;
I’d rather they get lost
and forgetfulness comes
that remedies everything,
which is the best.
If you seek comfort, don’t cry,
learn to be strong and kill the grief.
Smile with liquor to your lips,
let your soul dance awaiting a love.
The smoke of a cigar, the light of the place,
the notes that wander will make you forget.
Who knows who’s beside you
with hearts to entertain.
To entertain everybody,
breaking the silence
to sing in chorus
if only for a moment.
Remember that in life
if there’s anything of value,
it’s of the one who spends it
enjoying it the most.
Brighten your gaze,
don’t think of the bad,
don’t let your face
wrinkle too soon.
Let everything run,
don’t rush your years,
nobody cares
how you felt.
