El Huérfano
Todos los que estén presentes pongan toda su atención
Mi madre cuando vivía me daba muchos consejos,
Con cariño me decía, no me hagas tantos desprecios
Recuerdo que me decía, cuando me salía a pasear
No te vayas a tardar, hijo de la vida mía
Que se ha de llegar el día, que de mí te has de acordar
Pobrecita de mi madre, con que lastima murió
Dormidita se quedo, en el sueño más profundo,
Pero desgraciado yo, me quede solo en el mundo
A llorar mi soledad, al pie de su sepultura
Oh dios mío ten piedad, mira mí triste amargura
Cuando yo me emborrachaba, mi madre me iba a buscar
Donde quiera que me hallara, ella se ponía a llorar
Y si algo me pasaba, ella me iba a consolar
Del cielo cayo una flor, que en el viento deshoje
Para todos mis amigos, “el huérfano” les cante
The Orphan
All those present pay full attention
My mother when she was alive gave me many pieces of advice,
With affection she told me, don't treat me with disdain
I remember she used to say, when I went out for a walk
Don't take too long, my dear son
The day will come when you will remember me
Poor thing, my mother, how pitifully she died
She fell asleep in the deepest sleep
But unfortunate me, I was left alone in the world
To cry my loneliness at the foot of her grave
Oh my God have mercy, look at my sad bitterness
When I got drunk, my mother would come looking for me
Wherever she found me, she would start crying
And if something happened to me, she would come to console me
From the sky fell a flower, which I plucked in the wind
For all my friends, I sang 'the orphan'
