Paroles et traduction Los Cadetes De Linares - Un Noble Engano

Un Noble Engano

Joaquin tenia 15 años, pedro tenia 16
Iban a estados unidos, salieron de monterrey
Traian grandes ilusiones, de tanto que oian hablar
De llegar a houston texas y ponerse a trabajar.

A joquin se le hizo facil, el rio grande cruzar
Pero el rio iba crecido y no lo pudo lograr
Pedro lloraba el fracaso, casi perdio la razón
Al ver a su hermano ahogarse, en ese rio traidor.

► Un año cumple mi hermano, que el cielo lo recogio
Mis pobres padres no saben, que a houston jamas llego
Yo me hago pasar por el, cuando a mis padres escribo
No les digo la verdad, ellos piensan que esta vivo.

(Recitado) (Dspues de una larga ausencia
Yo regreso a contarles todo,
Todo lo que encierro aqui en mi pecho.

Mi pobre madre llorando, me abrazaba y me besaba,
Has vuelto al fin hijo mio ysus lagrimas rodaban
Y al preguntar por joaquin una sonrisa fingi,
Tuve que seguir fingiendo para no verla sufrir

Noble Deception

Joaquin was 15 years old, Pedro was 16
They were going to the United States, they left from Monterrey
They had great illusions, from all that they had heard
Of arriving in Houston, Texas and getting to work.

Joaquin found it easy, to cross the Rio Grande
But the river was swollen and he couldn't make it
Pedro wept at the failure, almost losing his mind
At seeing his brother drown, in that treacherous river.

► A year since my brother, went to heaven
My poor parents don't know, that he never made it to Houston
I pretend to be him, when I write to my parents
I don't tell them the truth, they think he's alive.

(Recited) (After a long absence
I return to tell you everything,
Everything that I keep locked away here in my heart.

My poor mother crying, hugged me and kissed me,
You've finally returned my son and her tears flowed
And when she asked about Joaquin I faked a smile,
I had to keep pretending so I wouldn't make her suffer
