Abuelo

Grandfather

Abuelo

He looks up to the skyEl mira hacia el cielo
Crying softly he tellsLlorando bajito le cuenta a
A star believingUna estrella creyendo
That it's her blowing kisses from her windowQue es ella le tira besos desde su ventana
And he asks the moonY le pide a la luna

That when it sees her, it whispers in her earQue cuando la vea le diga al oído
That he wants to have her sleeping by his sideQue quiere tenerla durmiendo a su vera
With him in the bed so cold and emptyCon el en la cama tan fría y vacía
And he cries of sorrow,Y llora de pena,
What sorrowQue pena

And since the day God took her awayY desde el día en que Dios se la llevo
A tear pricks his heartUna lágrima espina en su corazón
It pierced himA el se le clavo
He remembers her voiceRecuerda su voz
And trembles at the thought when he dreams at nightY tiembla al pensar cuando sueña de noche
Of her and starts to cryCon ella y se hecha a llorar

Grandfather, don't cry, the moon will come soonAbuelo, no llores que pronto vendrá la luna
And a star will descend from the sky lighting the wayY bajara del cielo una estrella alumbrando el camino
And there the grandmother will be with youY allí estará contigo la abuela
She will wait for you up there in the skyTe esperara allí arriba en el cielo
And she will softly say I Love YouY te dirá bajito Te Quiero
I don't want you to cry for me, grandfatherNo quiero que me llores abuelo

He is left only with the memorySolo le queda el recuerdo
Like a sentence he carries insideComo una condena que lleva por dentro
And it runs through his veins, looking at a starY corre sus venas, mirando una estrella
That in four walls eats his sorrowsQue en cuatro paredes se come sus penas

Alone, you are always aloneSolo, tu siempre tas solo
No matter what they say, they have left you aloneDigan lo que digan te han dejado solo
As the saying goesComo dice el dicho
You raise crows and they will peck out your eyes,Tu cria cuervos y te sacaran los ojos,
Your eyesLos ojos

And since the day God took her awayY desde el día en que Dios se la llevo
A tear pricks his heartUna lágrima espina en su corazón
It pierced himA el se le clavo
He remembers her voiceRecuerda su voz
And trembles at the thought when he dreams at nightY tiembla al pensar cuando sueña de noche
Of her and starts to cryCon ella y se hecha a llorar
