Madre

Don't worry my motherNo te preocupes madre mía
She told me as she criedMe decía mientras lloraba
We looked at each other with feelingsNos miramos con sentimientos
And I told her I was leavingY le dije que me marchaba

It's the first time you're leaving meEs la primera vez que te vas de mí
Said my mother as she saw me goDecía mi madre al verme partir
It's the first time you're leaving meEs la primera vez que te vas de mí
Her eyes shone from so much sufferingSus ojos brillaban de tanto sufrir

It's the first time you're leaving meEs la primera vez que te vas de mí
What sorrow I haveQué pena tengo
It's the first time you're leaving meEs la primera vez que te vas de mí
What sorrow and pain, what a way to sufferQué pena y que dolor que manera de sufrir
It's the first time you're leaving meEs la primera vez que te vas de mí

My mother, stop cryingMadre mía deja de llorar
I want to come back very soonQue muy pronto quiero regresar
I'm in search of my futureVoy en busca de mi porvenir
And a dignified life, dignified for youY una vida digna, digna para ti

I know that the distance won't keep you away from meYo sé que la distancia no te alejara de mí
Said my mother as she saw me goDecía mi madre al verme partir
And that I will relive your 20 yearsY que tus 20 anos yo los volveré a vivir
Her lips trembled, I don't know what to feelSus labios temblaban, no sé qué sentir

It's the first time you're leaving meEs la primera vez que te vas de mí
What sorrow I haveQué pena que tengo
It's the first time you're leaving meEs la primera vez que te vas de mí
What sorrowQué pena
And pain, what a way to sufferY que dolor que manera de sufrir
It's the first time you're leaving meEs la primera vez que te vas de mí

My mother, stop cryingMadre mía deja de llorar
I want to come back very soonQue muy pronto quiero regresar
I'm in search of my futureVoy en busca de mi porvenir
And a dignified life, dignified for youY una vida digna, digna para ti

Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ayAy ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ayAy ay ay ay
I'm in search of my futureVoy en busca de mi porvenir
And a dignified life, dignified for youY una vida digna, digna para ti

Don't cry, my little old lady, trust meNo me llore mi viejita, confie en mí
You know I won't let you downUsted sabe que yo no le fallo
