Lyrics and translation Los Cadetes De Linares - El Huerfano

El Huerfano

Todos los que estén presentes pongan toda su atención
Mi madre cuando vivía me daba muchos consejos,
Con cariño me decía, no me hagas tantos desprecios

Recuerdo que me decía, cuando me salía a pasear
No te vayas a tardar, hijo de la vida mía
Que se ha de llegar el día, que de mí te has de acordar

Pobrecita de mi madre, con que lastima murió
Dormidita se quedo, en el sueño más profundo,
Pero desgraciado yo, me quede solo en el mundo

A llorar mi soledad, al pie de su sepultura
Oh Dios mío ten piedad, mira mí triste amargura

Cuando yo me emborrachaba, mi madre me iba a buscar
Donde quiera que me hallara, ella se ponía a llorar
Y si algo me pasaba, ella me iba a consolar

Del cielo cayo una flor, que en el viento deshoje
Para todos mis amigos, El Huérfano les cante

The Orphan

All who are present, please pay attention
My mother when she was alive, gave me lots of advice
With love she said to me, Do not ignore me so

I remember that she would say to me, when I went out to walk
Do not be late, my precious son
There will come a day, that you will remember me

My poor mother, how sadly she died
She went to sleep, in a deep slumber
But alas, I was left alone in the world

To mourn my solitude, at the foot of her tomb
Oh my God, have mercy, look at my bitter anguish

When I would get drunk, my mother would come looking for me
Wherever I was, she would start to cry
And if something would happen to me, she would console me

From heaven fell a flower, which the wind scattered
For all my friends, The Orphan sings to them
