Mom's Portrait

El Retrato de Mamá

Look brother I came to see you not to ask you for anythingMira hermano vine a verte no es para pedirte nada
Even though I'm poor and living, I appreciate the intentionQue aunque pobre estoy viviendo te agradezco la intención
That big car at the door, this mansion-like houseEse gran carro en la puerta esta mansionada casa
Says how much you've progressed, your position is highDice lo que progresaste es alta tu posición

This little living room we're in, decorated in a modern wayEsta salita en que estamos decorada, a lo moderno
With its paintings that adorn it, costs a fortuneCon sus cuadros que la adornan cuesta todo un dineral
Don't take out your wallet, I'm not here for moneyNo nos saques la cartera, no es por plata que vengo
But tell me, where is the portrait of the old lady?Pero dime tu el retrato de la vieja donde está

Poor old lady, who loved you so muchPobre vieja ella que tanto te quiso
And went as far as sacrificing to send you to studyY llego hasta el sacrificio para mandarte a estudiar
And you didn't even have the decencyY ni siquiera te sobro delicadeza
To put the portrait of mom in the roomPara poner en la pieza el retrato de mamá

From heaven, she sees you and forgives youDesde el cielo ella te ve y te perdona
But I, your brother, can't forgive youPero yo que soy tu hermano no te puedo perdonar
And tell me, why among so many treasuresY dime porque entre tantas alhajas
Is missing the most precious jewel, mom's portraitFalta la joya más cara el retrato de mamá

Poor old lady, who loved you so muchPobre vieja ella que tanto te quiso
And went as far as sacrificing to send you to studyY llego hasta el sacrificio para mandarte a estudiar
And you didn't even have the decencyY ni siquiera te sobro delicadeza
To put the portrait of mom in the roomPara poner en la pieza el retrato de mamá

From heaven, she sees you and forgives youDesde el cielo ella te ve y te perdona
But I, your brother, can't forgive youPero yo que soy tu hermano no te puedo perdonar
And tell me, why among so many treasuresY dime porque entre tantas alhajas
Is missing the most precious jewelFalta la joya más cara
