Lyrics

Pagando antiguas locuras y ahogando mi triste queja
Volvi a buscar en la vieja aquellas hondas ternuras
Que abandonadas deje, y al verme nada me dijo,
Por mis torpezas pasadas… palabras dulcificadas
De amor por el hijo, tan solo escuche.
Besos y amores… amistades… bellas farsas,
Y rosadas ilusiones en el mundo hay a montones,
Por desgracia madre hay una sola…
Y aunque un dia lo olvide, me enseo al final la vida,
ЎQue a ese amor hay que volver!
Y nadie venga a arrancarme del lado de quien me adora,
De que quien con fe bienhechora se esfuerza por consolarme
De mi pasado dolor…
Las tentaciones son vanas para burlar su cario,
Para ella soy siempre nio
Benditas sus canas
Bendito su amor.
Besos y amores… amistades… bellas farsas,
Y rosadas ilusiones en el mundo hay a montones,
Por desgracia madre hay una sola…
Y aunque un dia lo olvide, me enseo al final la vida,
ЎQue a ese amor hay que volver!

Lyrics translation

Paying off old follies and drowning my sad complaint
I looked in the Old Lady for those deep tenderness
That abandoned leave, and seeing me nothing told me,
For my past clumsiness ... sweetened words
Of love for the son, just listen.
Kisses and loves ... friendships ... beautiful farce,
And pink illusions in the world there are a lot,
Unfortunately mother there is only one…
And even if one day I forget, I end up teaching myself life,
And that love must be returned!
And no one comes to tear me from the side of the one who worships me,
That he who with good faith strives to comfort me
From my past pain…
The temptations are vain to outwit your cario,
To her I'm always nio
Blessed are their gray hair
Blessed is his love.
Kisses and loves ... friendships ... beautiful farce,
And pink illusions in the world there are a lot,
Unfortunately mother there is only one…
And even if one day I forget, I end up teaching myself life,
And that love must be returned!
