Mother's Portrait

El retrato de mama

Listen brother, I come to see you not to ask for anythingoye hermano vengo a verte no es para pedirte nada
Even though I'm living poor, I appreciate the intentionsi aunque pobre estoy viviendo te agradesco la intencion
That big car at the door, this mansion-like houseese gran carro en la puerta esta mansionada casa
It shows what you professed, your position is highdice lo que profesaste es alta tu posicion

This little living room we're in, decorated in a modern wayesta salita en que estamos decorada a lo moderno
With its paintings that adorn it, costs a fortunecon sus cuadros que la adornan cuesta todo un dineral
No, don't take out your wallet, I'm not here for moneyno no saques la cartera no es por dinero que vengo
But tell me, where is the portrait of mother?pero dime tu el retrato de madre donde esta

(chorus)(coro)

Poor old lady, she who loved you so muchpobre vieja ella que tanto te quiso
Who went as far as sacrifice to send you to studyque llego hasta el sacrificio para mandarte a estudiar
You didn't even have the delicacynisiquiera te sobro delicadeza
To put up in the house the portrait of motherpara poner en la casa el retrato de mama
From heaven she sees you and forgives youdesde el cielo ella te ve y te perdona
But I, your brother, can't forgive youpero yo que soy tu hermano no te puedo perdonar
And tell me why, among so many jewelsyyy dime porque entre tantas alajas
The most precious one is missing, the portrait of motherfalta la joya mas cara el retrato de mama

(Brother, I just want to remind you that there are things that can't be bought. Like what? The heart)(hermano solo quiero recordarte que hay cosas que no se pueden comprar ¿a cuales ? el corazon )

Poor old lady, she who loved you so muchpobre vieja ella que tanto te quiso
Who went as far as sacrifice to send you to studyque llego hasta el sacrificio para mandarte a estudiar
You didn't even have the delicacynisiquiera te sobro delicadeza
To put up in the house the portrait of motherpara poner en la casa el retrato de mama
From heaven she sees you and forgives youdesde el cielo ella te ve y te perdona
But I, your brother, can't forgive youpero yo que soy tu hermano no te puedo perdonar
And tell me why, among so many jewelsyyy dime porque entre tantas alajas
The most precious one is missing, the portrait of motherfalta la joya mas cara el retrato de mamaaa.
