Cruz de Arena
Un domingo por la tarde
Me fui pa'la capital
Enferma deje a mi madre
Ke era una cosa fatal
No pude encontrar trabajo
Para mi madre curar
Busque pa'arriba y pa'abajo
Nadie me kiso ocupar
Pensando en mi madre buena
Desesperado volvi
Encontre una cruz de arena
Y asi a mi madre perdi
Muy triste y desconsolado
Yo me fui para el panteon
Fui de rodillas postrado
Yo le pedi su perdon
Kede solito en el mundo
Mi madrecita murio
Hoy sufro un dolor profundo
Diosito se la llevo
Lloro y sufro por mi pena
Ke tremenda decepcion
Solo haye una cruz de arena
Y a mi madre en el panteon
Sand Cross
On a Sunday afternoon
I went to the capital
I left my mother sick
It was a fatal thing
I couldn't find a job
To cure my mother
I searched high and low
No one wanted to hire me
Thinking of my good mother
Desperately, I returned
I found a sand cross
And that's how I lost my mother
Very sad and inconsolable
I went to the cemetery
I was on my knees
I asked for her forgiveness
I was left alone in the world
My dear mother died
Today I suffer a deep pain
God took her away
I cry and suffer for my sorrow
What a tremendous disappointment
I only found a sand cross
And my mother in the cemetery
