Lyrics
Pagando antiguas locuras y ahogando mi triste queja
Volví 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 día lo olvide, me enseño al final la vida,
Que 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 niño
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 día lo olvide, me enseñó al final la vida,
Que a ese amor hay que volver
Lyrics translation
Paying off old follies and drowning my sad complaint
I went back to look 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 it, I end up teaching myself life,
That to that love we must return
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 a child
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 forgot, he taught me life in the end,
That to that love we must return
