Lamento De Concepción
Lament of Conception
Como si todo en la vida le faltara
As if everything in life was missing from her
Concepción eleva la vista al cielo
Conception looks up to the sky
Como si el mundo se le cayera encima
As if the world was falling down on her
Concepción contaba su desconsuelo
Conception was telling her grief
Y decía, hay niños que mantener
And she said, there are children to support
Y decía, hay niños que mantener
And she said, there are children to support
Si yo soy de los de abajo que tiene que ver
If I am one of those from below, what does it matter
Yo tengo el mismo derecho de vivir
I have the same right to live
Si yo soy de los de abajo
If I am one of those from below
Que tiene que ver
What does it matter
Yo tengo el mismo derecho de vivir

Que mucho trabajo
How much work it takes
Hallar en que trabajar
To find something to work on
Que trabajo dá, el no trabajar
What a job it is, not working
Pero que mucho trabajo
But how much work it takes
Hallar en que trabajar
To find something to work on
Que trabajo dá, el no trabajar

Como si todo en la vida le faltara

Concepción eleva la vista al cielo

Como si el mundo se le cayera encima

Concepción contaba su descosuelo, llora
Conception told her grief, she cries
Concepción eleva la vista al cielo

Va gritando, hay niños que mantener

Concepción en su lamento
Conception in her lament
Y en su terrible agonía
And in her terrible agony
Va pidiendo al señor
She asks the Lord
Que le ayude a buscarse el pan de cada día
To help her find her daily bread
Oiga, el que yo sea de abajo
Listen, that I am from below
Nadita tiene que ver
It has nothing to do with it
Yo también tengo derecho

De mis hijos mantener y comer

No importa que los de arriba
It doesn't matter that those above
No te quieran ayudar
Don't want to help you
Si el señor sabe que eres bueno
If the Lord knows that you are good
Si ese aquí te va aliviar
If he is here, he will relieve you
Concepción me dice a
Conception tells me
Que anda muy desepera'o
That she is very desperate
Y se la pasa diciendo
And she keeps saying
Que todo su ser esta salao
That her whole being is cursed
No te dejes engañar
Don't let yourself be fooled
Echa pa'lante cobarde
Go forward, coward
No importa que te critiquen
Don't mind being criticized
Si la cosa está que arde
If things are burning
Ese fué el lamento de concepción
That was the lament of conception
