There are many misunderstandings in that translation. Here's mine:
The only speck of light in the night flashes on top of a taxi.
Padded thwart of that boat of nuts and bolts waits, I go.
Murky thoughts come forth, rough words devise lies.
Thick wallet... It's easy to look for love.
A beggar feels a chill from the glow in these frosty eyes.*
Scythes of light** mow down houses,
Hand goes for the cape of the ferryman.
I can't blame nor thank life. Let it be, I don't care.
The diligent ferry swims from womb to the grave,
stopping at a thousand pubs.
** Metaphor for the driving lights of the taxi
