A Mi Madre

To My Mother

A Mi Madre

With the friends that gold produced for meCom los amigos que el oro me produjo
I spent the hours with eagernessLas horas com afán pasaba yo
And under the powerful influence of my purseY de mi bolsa al poderoso influjo
Everyone enjoyed splendid luxuryTodos gozaban de esplendente lujo
But not my motherPero mi madre, no

Poor Mother! I forgot about herPobre Madre! Yo de ella me olvidaba
When I fell asleep in the arms of viceCuando em brazos del vicio me dormi
A huge entourage surrounded meUn inmenso cortejo me rodeaba
Of my loved ones, no one was missingDe mis afectos, a nadie le faltaba
But my mother, yesPero a mi madre, sí

Today, dying, in tears and brokenіHoy moribundo, em lágrimas deshecho!
I exclaimed with pain, everything is overExclamó com dolor todo acabó
Seeing my anguished chest groanAl ver que gime angustiado pecho
Everyone moves away from my poor bedTodos se alejan de mi pobre lecho
But not my motherPero a mi madre, no

And near the last breathY cerca ya del último suspiro
Everyone moves away because of what is in meTodos se alejan por lo que hay em mi
My gaze around my bed turnsLa vista em torno de mi lecho giro
In my sad surroundings, I see no oneEm mi triste redor a nadie miro
But my mother, yesPero a mi madre, sí
