Slowly, weakly I opened my eyes. I was lying in the street.
As this is a literary translation there are many possibilities, but this would be a pretty standard literal translation that captures the meaning.
Example sentence:
Next thing I knew I was lying in the street

Spanish term (edited):
Abrí mis ojos con lentitud, con debilidad. Estaba acostada en la calle.
I slowly opened my bleary eyes. I was lying in the street.
Just offering this alternative as I feel "bleary" works well for "con debilidad"
