Feliz Cumpleaños Mama

Happy Birthday Mom

Feliz Cumpleaños Mama

From afar, through mountains and ravines,De lejos, por montañas y quebradas,
Wetting a prayer with my tears,Mojando con mis lágrimas un rezo,
Trembling with joy to find her;Temblando ante la dicha de encontrarla;
To the warm ranch I have returned.Al tibio rancho he vuelto.
The voices of a memory surrounded meLas voces de un recuerdo me rondaban
They spoke to me, in dreams, of her day.Me hablaban, entre sueños, de su día.
The fever of a longing burned me:La fiebre de un anhelo me quemaba:
To kiss her and bless her!¡Besarla y bendecirla!

Happy birthday, mom!¡Feliz cumpleaños, mama!
For being good and simple,Por buena y por sencilla,
Perfume of a hundred lilacsPerfume de cien lilas
I bring in my emotion,Le traigo en mi emoción,
May you live many years,Que viva muchos años,
May you be very happy,Que sea muy dichosa,
May only roses rainQue sólo lluevan rosas
Upon your good love.Sobre su buen amor.
Happy birthday, mom!¡Feliz cumpleaños, mama!
Suffering and tiny,Sufrida y pequeñita,
Song, shelter, water...Canción, alero, agüita...
That's her heart!¡Eso es su corazón!

Far away, the mountain woman of my life,Muy lejos, la serrana de mi vida,
Has given her a granddaughter who waits for her;Le ha dado una nietita que la espera;
She would see her at night, on her knees,La viese por las noches, de rodillas,
Praying for her grandmother.Rezando por la abuela.
How beautiful is the table she has setQué linda está la mesa que ha tendido
And the fine little white linen tablecloth.Y el fino mantelito de hilo blanco.
The old basket with the lilies...La vieja canastilla con los lirios...
Her gray hair and her hands!¡Sus canas y sus manos!
