"Con los Amigos (A Mi Madre)"
"Con los Amigos (A Mi Madre)"
Con los amigos
Que el oro me produjo
Pasaba con afán las horas yo,
Y de mi bolsa, al poderoso influjo
Todos gozaban de esplendente lujo
Pero mi madre
¡No!
¡Pobre madre!
Yo de ella me olvidaba
Cuando en brazos del vicio me dormí,
Un inmenso cortejo me rodeaba
Y a nadie de mis afectos le faltaba
Pero a mi madre
¡Si!
Y cerca ya del último suspiro
Nadie se acuerda por mi mal de mi
La vista en torno de mi lecho giro
Y en mi triste alrededor a nadie miro
Pero a mi madre
¡Sí!
"With my Friends (To my Mother)" [Literal Translation]
"With my Friends (To my Mother)" [Literal Translation]
With my friends
What golden days we had
The hours passed with delight,
And from my wallet, with its powerful influence
All enjoyed splendid luxury
But my mother
No!
Poor mother!
I forgot about her
When in the arms of vice I fell asleep,
An immense entourage surrounded me
And no one of my affections was missing
But my mother
Yes!
And close to my last breath
Nobody remembers me in my poor health
I turn around in my sick-bed
And in my sad surroundings nobody is there
But my mother
Yes!
