Lyrics
Allá donde nace el día
Allá donde nace el sol
Esta nuestra casa pequeña
Donde un día buscaba tu amor
Por qué me persigue el recuerdo
Por qué no he podido olvidar
Por qué aquel desamparo
Por qué esa soledad
Por qué me dejabas tan solo
A donde tenías que ir En que se te ha ido la vida
La vida tan lejos de mí
Madre, ya no estás y me arrepiento
No haberte preguntado al fin
Por qué me negaste ese tiempo
Que contigo no pude vivir
El destino jugó su partida
La partida que yo no elegí
Fue tan larga tu ausencia que un día
Al volver ya no te conocí
Por qué me dejabas tan solo
A donde tenías que ir En que se te ha ido la vida
La vida tan lejos de mí.
Lyrics translation
Where the day is born
Where the sun rises
This is our little house
Where one day I was looking for your love
Why is memory chasing me
Why couldn't I forget
Why that helplessness
Why that loneliness
Why did you leave me alone
Where you had to go where your life is gone
Life so far away from me
Mother, you're gone and I regret it
Not asking you at last
Why did you deny me that time
That I couldn't live with you
Fate played its game
The game I didn't choose
Your absence was so long that one day
When I came back, I didn't know you anymore.
Why did you leave me alone
Where you had to go where your life is gone
Life so far away from me.
