lyrics

En los jardines mas floridos de mi pueblo
corte las flores mas hermosas que fui hallando
para ponerlas en la frente de mi madre
un diez de mayo que se estaba celebrando

Andando lejos me di cuenta que los anos
son gotas de agua que al juntarse dan problemas
en la presencia de mi padre y mis hermanos
rodo mi llanto porque no halle cosas buenas

Arrepentido por los anos que se fueron
les di un abrazo y me les puse de rodillas
aquellos ojos que partir un dia me vieron
tenian la marca de mi ausencia en sus mejillas

Senti tristeza pero ya no habia remedio
el tiempo pasa y tiene que cobrar lo suyo
como un tesoro conservaban los juguetes
que cuando nino yo jugaba con orgullo

Cuando uno es joven se ilusiona de la nada
sin importarle que alguien llore su destino
las oraciones de mi madre me llamaban
y unas mujeres me tapaban el camino.

Aquellos hijos que anden lejos de sus padres
hagan esfuerzos por volver a su querencia
no esperen mucho porque puede ser muy tarde
y encuentren cosas que remuerdan su conciencia



English Translation:

In the most florid gardens of my home town
I cut the most precious flowers I could find
To place them in front of my mother
On the 10th of May celebration

As years go by I realize that years
Are water droplets that combined create problems
In the presence of my father and my brothers
My tears rolled because I did not find good memories

Repentant for the years that passed by
I embraced them and got down on my knees
The eyes that once saw me leave
Had the scars of my absence on their faces

I felt sad, but what could I do?
Time passes and life takes over you
Like a treasure, they had preserved the toys
That I proudly played with as a boy

As a youth, it’s so easy to dream and hope
Without caring if anyone cries on our behalf
My mother’s prayers would call to me
But women would get in my way

For those children far away from their folks
Make an effort to return to their loving arms
Don’t wait too long or it may be too late
And you’ll end up with so much guilt
