Grandma's Patio

El Patio De La Nona

February brings me back againFebrero me trae otra vez
To the house that holds her soulHasta la casa que guarda su ser
Today, Grandma, I come to singHoy nona le vengo a cantar
I’m dying to see her eyes shineMe muero por ver sus ojos brillar
Today, Grandma, I come to singHoy nona le vengo a cantar
I’m dying to see her eyes shineMe muero por ver sus ojos brillar

Table set under the vineMesa tendida debajo el parral
From early on, we start sipping mateDesde temprano se empieza a matear
The patio is all watered downEl patio regadito está
I want to celebrate her happinessQuiero celebrar su felicidad
The patio is all watered downEl patio regadito está
I want to celebrate her happinessQuiero celebrar su felicidad

Come on, Grandma, I want to toastVenga mi nona le quiero brindar
With my zamba and celebrateMi zamba y así festejar
To have her, to be able to singTenerla poderle cantar
Verses that speak of her kindnessVersos que hablan de su bondad
That’s why today we sing to herPor eso hoy le cantamos
And wish her a thousand more yearsY le auguramos mil años más

Neighborhood oven that time has markedHorno de barrio que el tiempo marcó
So many memories of baking breadTantos recuerdos de asares de pan
I see her leaning on the counterLa veo arrimada al mesón
Wrapped in a cloak of flour and loveMezclada en un manto de harina y amor
I see her leaning on the counterLa veo arrimada al mesón
Wrapped in a cloak of flour and loveMezclada en un manto de harina y amor

How I wish I could be a child againComo quisiera ser niña otra vez
And reign my childhood on her lapY sobre su falda reinar mi niñez
Clinging to her apronPrenderme de su delantal
Proudly looking into her eyes as she passesMirar orgullosa sus ojos al pasar
Clinging to her apronPrenderme de su delantal
Proudly looking into her eyes as she passesMirar orgullosa sus ojos al pasar

Come on, Grandma, I want to toastVenga mi nona le quiero brindar
With my zamba and celebrateMi zamba y así festejar
To have her, to be able to singTenerla poderle cantar
Verses that speak of her kindnessVersos que hablan de su bondad
That’s why today we sing to herPor eso hoy le cantamos
And wish her a thousand more yearsY le auguramos mil años más
