Lyrics and translation Yolanda del Río - Corre por él
Con

muy
triste
se
fue
With
his
suitcases,
very
sadly,
he
left
Vi
que
lloraba
llegando
a
la
esquina
I
saw
him
crying
as
he
reached
the
corner
Yo
sonreía
a
mi
nueva
vida
I
smiled
at
my
new
life
Y
satisfecha
me
quise
meter
And
satisfied,
I
wanted
to
go
inside
, Pero
en
la
puerta
a
mis
hijos
mire
, But
at
the
door
I
looked
at
my
children
Eran
sus
ojos
punales
de
fuego
y
su
Their
eyes
were
daggers
of
fire
and
their
Boquita
plegarias
de
ruego
enseguida
eschue
Little
mouths
prayers
of
pleading
Mama
no
seas

deja
tu

Yo
de
inmediato
a
buscarlo
me
fui
a
la
carrera
como
un
chuiya
I
immediately
set
off
to
look
for
him,
running
like
a
cheetah
Me
iva
asomado
a
toda
cantina
I
was
looking
into
every
bar
Pero
era
tarde
y
ni
el
polvo
le
vie
But
it
was
late
and
I
couldn't
even
see
the
dust
Ya
muy
cansada
de
tanto
buscar,

tired
of
searching
so
much,
Fui
a
consolarme
alla
en
la
capilla
I
went
to
comfort
myself
in
the
chapel
Y
ante
la
virgen
lo
vie
de
rodillas
And
before
the
Virgin,
I
saw
him
on
his
knees
Que
le
huraba
ya
nuca
tomaaar
Swearing
to
her
that
he
would
never
drink
again
, Me
le
ar-seque
con
el
reze
, I
joined
him
in
the
prayer
Y
entre
lagrimas
lo
perdone
me
lo
lleve
And
tearfully
I
forgave
him,
I
took
him
away
Para
mi
hogar
y
ahora
mis
hijos
felices
están
To
my
home
and
now
my
children
are
happy
