La Casa Del Sol Naciente

The House of the Rising Sun

La Casa Del Sol Naciente

Where the day is bornAllá donde nace el día
Where the Sun is bornAllá donde nace el Sol
Is our small houseEstá nuestra casa pequeña
Where one day I searched for your loveDonde un día buscaba tu amor

Why does the memory haunt me?¿Por qué me persigue el recuerdo?
Why haven't I been able to forget?¿Por qué no he podido olvidar?
Why that helplessness?¿Por qué aquel desamparo?
Why that loneliness?¿Por qué esa soledad?

Why did you leave me so alone?¿Por qué me dejabas tan solo?
Where did you have to go?¿A dónde tenías que ir?
Where has life taken you?¿En qué se te ha ido la vida?
Life so far from meLa vida tan lejos de mí

Mother, you are no longer here and I regretMadre, ya no estás y me arrepiento
Not having asked you, in the endNo haberte preguntado, al fin
Why did you deny me that time¿Por qué me negaste ese tiempo
That I couldn't live with you?Que contigo no pude vivir?

Destiny played its handEl destino jugó su partida
The hand that I didn't chooseLa partida que yo no elegí
Your absence was so long that one dayFue tan larga tu ausencia que, un día
Upon your return, I no longer recognized youAl volver ya no te conocí

Why did you leave me so alone?¿Por qué me dejabas tan solo?
Where did you have to go?¿A dónde tenías que ir?
Where has life taken you?¿En qué se te ha ido la vida?
Life so far from meLa vida tan lejos de mí
