Cuando se marcha una abuela (Pasodoble)

When a Grandma Leaves (Pasodoble)

Cuando se marcha una abuela (Pasodoble)

When a grandma leavesCuando se marcha una abuela
She never really leaves completelyNunca se marcha del todo
To keep us from being alonePara no dejarnos solos
She finds a wayEllas encuentran el modo

To stay close to youDe no alejarse de ti
When a grandma leavesCuando se marcha una abuela
Her habitsSus costumbres
Echo throughout the houseHablan por toda la casa

The Sunday strolls in the squareLos dominguitos de plaza
Hot chocolate in the plazaEl chocolate a la plaza
Tickles with a laughLas cosquillitas con guasa
And a little kiss on the noseY un besito en la nariz

When a grandma leavesCuando se marcha una abuela
It hurts for a lifetimeDuele pa toda la vida
Because it breaks your soulPorque te rompen el alma
For the very first timePor primera vez

And that pain never fadesY ese dolor no se olvida
Because there's no love on earthPorque no hay amor en la tierra
Like the one that gives you its armComo el que regala su brazo
And I never dreamed so beautifullyY nunca soñé tan bonito

As when I was asleep in her armsComo dormido entre sus brazos
The cold of the world was defeatedEl frio del mundo vencía
By her hands of needle and yarnSus manos de aguja y de lana
And no one sang a saetaY nadie cantó una saeta

Like my grandma used to sing them to meComo mi abuela me las cantaba
My goddess of a thousand lovesMi diosa de los mil te quieros
Miracles of bread and stewMilagros de pan y puchero
When there wasn't even enough to eatCuando no había ni pa comer

If you had a grandmaSi tu tuviste una abuela
Like mineComo la mía
Remember all those little thingsRecuerda toas esas cositas
With joyCon alegría

Because that's the most beautiful wayPorque esa es la forma más bella
To bring them hereDe traerlas aquí
For by singing and rememberingPues cantando y recordando
We make them come aliveLas hacemos revivir

And when it's my turn to goY cuando me toque partir
You can be sureTen por seguro
That there won't be any godsQue no habrá dioses ninguno

To separate us againQue nos vuelva a separar
And to the last corner of the universeY al último rincón del universo
Will go your mischievous childIra tu niño travieso

To give you a kissPa darte un beso
To give you a kissPa darte un beso
To give you a kissPa darte un beso
