Lyrics

Me fui para el otro lado
Buscando una vida mejor
Para mis padres, para mis hijos
Mi esposa y yo
Y cuando la suerte
Un dia me sonrio
Que tenia padres
Hijos y esposa
Se me olvido
Dinero, vino y mujeres
De todo yo deroche
Y de mis padres y mi familia
Yo me olvide
Y mientras que todo
Disfrutaba yo halla en mi pueblo
Con hambre y con frio
Se quedaron el dia de hoy
Enfermo, cansado y solo
A mi pueblo regrese hoy
A mis viejos halle en la tumba
Como pedirles perdon
Fui con mi esposa y mis hijos
Ninguno me reconocio
Solo guardan en sus recuerdos
A un padre que no volvio
Cuanta tristeza he centido
Se me partio el corazon
Quise gritarles decirle
Que su padre soy yo
Me queda poco de vida
Acuentas me llama dios
Que mi famila recuerde
A un padre que no volvio

Lyrics translation

I went the other way
Looking for a better life
For my parents, for my children
My wife and I
And when Luck
One day I smiled
That he had parents
Children and wife
I forgot.
Money, wine and women
Of all I've done
And my parents and my family
I forgot.
And while everything
I enjoyed myself in my village
Hungry and cold
They stayed today
Sick, tired and lonely
Back to my village today
My old men lie in the grave
How to ask them for forgiveness
I went with my wife and children
None of them recognized me.
They only keep in their memories
To a father who didn't come back
How sad I have felt
It broke my heart
I wanted to yell at them and tell him
That his father is me
I have little life left
Acentas calls me God
Let my family remember
To a father who didn't come back
