Paroles et traduction Montez de Durango - Solo Deje Yo a Mi Padre

Solo Deje Yo a Mi Padre

Un día por sorpresa le dije a mi padre
Que había decidido viajar hacia el norte
Que estaba cansado de tanta pobreza
Y que yo quería, poderlo ayudar

Con mucha tristeza, me dijo mi padre
"Hijo no te vayas, no me dejes solo
Yo ya estoy muy viejo, tal vez cuando vuelvas
Debajo de tierra me vas a encontrar"

Solo deje yo a mi padre
Solo labrando la tierra
Cuentan que lo veían llorando
Allá junto a su parcela
Dicen que lo oían rezando,
Para que a mí bien me fuera
Y que le pedía a los cielos
Pa' que yo pronto volviera

Y donde quiera que te encuentres, viejo
Y no llore Montez

Se fueron los años, muy poco escribía
Y al paso del tiempo yo me fui olvidando
Pero un día de pronto llego la noticia
Que mi viejecito estaba agonizando

Ahora que regreso, mi padre está muerto
Como él me lo dijo, está bajo tierra
A mí me destroza el remordimiento
De haberlo dejado solo tanto tiempo

Solo deje yo a mi padre
Solo labrando la tierra
Cuentan que lo veían llorando
Allá junto a su parcela
Dicen que lo oían rezando
Para que a mí bien me fuera
Y que le pedía a los cielos
Pa' que yo pronto volviera

I Left My Father Alone

One day, I surprised my father by saying
That I had decided to travel north.
I was tired of being poor,
And I wanted to be able to help him.

My father was very sad when he heard this,
"Son, don't go, don't leave me alone.
I'm already very old, perhaps when you return
You'll find me six feet under."

I left my father alone.
Alone, working the land.
They say they would see him crying
By his plot of land.
They say they would hear him praying
For me to be well.
And that he would ask the heavens
For me to return soon.

And wherever you are, old man,
Don't cry, Montez.

Years passed, I wrote very little,
And with the passage of time, I forgot.
But one day, the news suddenly arrived
That my old man was dying.

Now that I'm back, my father is dead,
As he told me, he's six feet under.
I'm devastated by remorse
For having left him alone for so long.

I left my father alone.
Alone, working the land.
They say they would see him crying
By his plot of land.
They say they would hear him praying
For me to be well.
And that he would ask the heavens
For me to return soon.
