Today I dance with death, 15 years old, I was just a teenager
I didn't want to go, I didn't want to die
Now I can't smile anymore
Today I dance with death, 15 years old, I was just a teenager
I didn't want to go, I didn't want to die
Now I can't smile anymore

Hello mom
Today is the day we go for my dress and slippers
I'm dying of anticipation for that wonderful day to come
The other day I dreamed of being the Barbie you gave me
When you told me "congratulations" and hugged me tightly
Mom, you know I have a doubt
There's a lady who talks to me when the moon comes out
She tells me you're not going to make it to your waltz
Just as you came into life, you're leaving
Tell me mom, what does it feel like to be the mother of someone like me?
Daughter, it's normal, you're the best gift God gave me
But mom, understand me, I'm not like other girls
You don't know how much I'd like to exchange it for my dress and slippers
Sometimes I want to sleep and never wake up
I wouldn't want this cancer I have to dance waltz with me
Only with my beau that I've always dreamed of dancing with
Who tells me that nothing happens, death won't take you

You're as beautiful as Cinderella from the movie
Even if you have that cancer, you have to have a lot of patience
Hey, you're right, I am like her
The charm will leave my hands when the stars come in

Today I dance with death, 15 years old, I was just a teenager
I didn't want to go, I didn't want to die
Now I can't smile anymore
Today I dance with death, 15 years old, I was just a teenager
I didn't want to go, I didn't want to die
Now I can't smile anymore

It was an ordinary afternoon, common and ordinary
As if the boy knew what awaited him out there
And it's not every day that it's spring
Death waits for you on the sidewalk
If you're an easy prey, she's accurate, doesn't ask for a wallet
She wants to steal you, wants to take your soul
You'll see your whole life pass by, you'll start to lose your calm
You hate it, you know the party's over
I know life stinks
Demons manifest
If only death would let us write a letter like this
Mother, I'm so sorry, I know I've hurt you
That time has passed and you know I really miss you
15 years old I had dreams I hadn't fulfilled yet
But only God knows when he's going to take your life
And today I have to dance this waltz with death
There are no more tears I can shed
It stopped raining, my soul went bad
I hate to say I won't see them again

Today I dance with death, 15 years old, I was just a teenager
I didn't want to go, I didn't want to die
Now I can't smile anymore
Today I dance with death, 15 years old, I was just a teenager
I didn't want to go, I didn't want to die
Now I can't smile anymore

A few months before my 15th birthday I met you
You were wandering the streets of Infonavit
With your face always white but without smiling
Today I have you in front of me because you have something to tell me
It can't be possible, how is it that I'm going to leave
I still have a way to go and live
I ask you please skinny, let me have a little more time here
I just want to celebrate my 15th and die happy
I invite you to my party if you want to see my happy family
Because after this it will be memories and tears on the sidewalk
From the people who loved me and always lived with me
I thank you even though I leave this dream unfinished
Lives come and go, you know how this is brother
The skinny one is the one who decides, who stays or who goes in the end
Dedication to a friend who went ahead to the beyond
Don't be sad, we'll see each other again soon

Today I dance with death, 15 years old, I was just a teenager
I didn't want to go, I didn't want to die
Now I can't smile anymore
Today I dance with death, 15 years old, I was just a teenager
I didn't want to go, I didn't want to die
Now I can't smile anymore
