Fosa Para Dos

Grave for Two

Fosa Para Dos

I remember, my motherYo recuerdo madre mía
Your care and affectionTus cuidados y cariños
In the days of my childhoodEn los días de mi niñez

While I was having funMientras yo me divertía
With colorful kitesCon chichiguas de colores
Tops and marblesTrompos y pisacolá
But life has been determinedMas la vida se ha empeñado
To deny the dreamsEn negar las ilusiones
That I dreamed in the cradleQue en la cuna yo soñé

And today I swear, my motherY hoy te juro Madre mía
I don't know what I would giveYo no sé lo que daría
To go back to your feetPor regresar a tus pies

Mother, I wish I couldMadre yo quisiera poder
To turn back timePara devolver el tiempo
And live like yesterdayY vivir como ayer
Under the shelter of your chestAl abrigo de tu pecho
That gave me with lifeQue me daba con la vida
Your affection and warmthTu cariño y tu calor

Mother, every day, every nightMadre cada día cada noche
I ask God to die firstPido a Dios morir primero
Because you are on earthPorque eres en la tierra
My only true loveMi único amor verdadero
And I don't know what I would doY yo no sé lo que haría
If I lost your warmthSi perdiera tu calor

Mother, if you die firstMadre y si tú mueres primero
I will tell the gravediggerLe diré al sepulturero
To dig a grave for twoQue haga Fosa Para Dos

Mother, for the day they bury youMadre para el día en que te enterraran
Bury there with youEntierren allí contigo
My poor heartA mi pobre corazón
