My Mother Remembers

Mi Madre Se Acuerda

Nobody was going to think about itDe morro nadie iba a pensar
That these dreams I wanted to achieveQue estos sueños quería lograr
But I'm stuck and my father knows itPero soy atrabancado y mi padre lo sabe

How I remember those daysCómo recuerdo esos días
Walking for the errandCaminando pa'l mandado
With my mother holding her hand: My dear, watch when crossingCon mi madre de su mano: Mijo, fíjate al cruzar

The houses, the cars, I dreamed ofLas casas, los carros, los soñaba
My mother remembers, I told herMi madre se acuerda, le decía
That I was going to buy itQue yo lo iba a comprar

Over time I grew upCon el tiempo fui creciendo
Bad steps I started to grabMalos pasos empecé a agarrar
But strong mentality, I slowly taught myself to alignPero fuerte mentalidad, poco a poco me enseñé a alinear

My story told me about the neighborhoodDel barrio dijo mi historia
This is another runEsto ya es otro corrido
I'm telling you, my friends, what I'm saying is trueLes platico, mis amigos, lo que digo es de verdad

Failures, stumbles of lifeFracasos, tropiezos de la vida
My old people happy, what I achievedMis viejos contentos, lo que logré
I'll never let you downNunca les fallaré
The houses, the cars, I dreamed ofLas casas, los carros, los soñaba
My mother remembers, I told herMi madre se acuerda, le decía
That I was going to buy itQue yo lo iba a comprar
