Una Madre Llora

A Mother Cries

Una Madre Llora

Ey, this is street musicEy, esto es música de la calle
Neighborhood music, real lifeMúsica de barrio, la vida real

The kid has his clienteleEl chamaco tiene su clientela
The store, he finds it on the cornerLa tienda, la encuentra en la esquina
When he goes out to the street, his mom kisses him and also blesses himCuando sale a la calle su jefa lo besa y también lo persigna
And for the harvest, another damn dayY pa’ la vendimia, otro pinche día
Selling pills, powder, and Mary JaneVendiendo pastillas, polvo y María

His mother knew that her son was going down the wrong pathSu madre sabía, que su hijo andaba en malos pasos
But she never gave up, the police arrivePero el caso nunca le hacía, cae la policía
But they don't find him, everyone on the radio is on alertPero no lo encuentran, todos por el radio lo tienen alerta
With some hits of his own merchandiseCon unos Jabazos de su propia merca
He gets sharp, his mind awakeSe pone bien pilas, la mente despierta

But, he met a girl who is a little crazyPero, conoció a una muchacha que está media loca
It's clear as day, tough The GirlA leguas se nota, chula La Niña
But with bad thoughtsPero con malos pensamientos
He doesn't know he's wrongEl no sabe que se equivoca
She was from the other side, she put a 4 on him, the trucks arrivedEra de la contra, le puso un 4, llegaron las trocas

They shot them and there was no other wayLos rafaguearon y no hubo de otra
They gave him 5 in the chest and 3 in the jacketLe dieron 5 en el pecho y 3 en la chompa (chompa)
In the middle of the avenue, a bunch of bullets takes his lifeEn plena avenida, un puño de balas le quita la vida
On the news, they said there was a lot of bloodEn el noticiero dijeron que hubo mucha sangre
And the gang in flames ignitedY la ranfla en llamas encendida

The Moon shone, he didn't imagine what awaited himLa Luna brillo, el no se imaginaba lo que le esperaba
He went out to the street and it was uselessA la calle salió y no sirvió de nada
Although his mom gave him her blessingAunque su jefa le daba la bendición
He was killed in betrayal and everyone watching the actionLo mataron a traición y todos wachando la acción
A bullet pierced his heartUna bala le atravesó el corazón

The Moon shone, he didn't imagine what awaited himLa Luna brillo, el no se imaginaba lo que le esperaba
He went out to the street and it was uselessA la calle salió y no sirvió de nada
Although his mom gave him her blessingAunque su jefa le daba la bendición
He was killed in betrayal and everyone watching the actionLo mataron a traición y todos wachando la acción
A bullet pierced his heartUna bala le atravesó el corazón

Because life ends and you don't take anything with youPorque la vida acaba y no te llevas nada
Better watch who you hang out withMejor fíjate con quien te juntas
It's not as you thoughtNo es como pensabas
And to get out of trouble, your best friend is a gunY pa’ salir de trabas, tú mejor amiga es una fusca

Because life ends and you don't take anything with youPorque la vida acaba y no te llevas nada
Better watch who you hang out withMejor fíjate con quien te juntas
It's not as you thoughtNo es como pensabas
And to get out of trouble, your best friend is a gunY pa’ salir de trabas, tú mejor amiga es una fusca

And a mother cries, cries, cries, criesY una madre llora, llora, llora, llora
(His mom gave him her blessing)(Su jefa le daba la bendición)
And a mother cries, cries, cries, criesY una madre llora, llora, llora, llora
(The Moon shone)(La Luna brillo)

And a mother cries, cries, cries, criesY una madre llora, llora, llora, llora
(Because life ends)(Porque la vida acaba)
And a mother cries, cries, cries, criesY una madre llora, llora, llora, llora
(Better watch who you hang out with)(Mejor fíjate con quien te juntas)

And a mother cries, cries, cries, criesY una madre llora, llora, llora, llora
(Selling pills, powder, and Mary Jane)(Vendiendo pastillas, polvo y María)
And a mother cries, cries, cries, criesY una madre llora, llora, llora, llora
(Better watch who-)(Mejor fíjate con que-)

And a mother cries, cries, cries, criesY una madre llora, llora, llora, llora
And a mother cries, cries, cries, criesY una madre llora, llora, llora, llora
