Текст и перевод песни Julio Sosa - Cuando Era Mi Vieja

Cuando Era Mi Vieja

Vecina, no me haga caso,
Ni mire con desconfianza,
Si hace rato que la paso
Parado frente a su casa.
Al verla a usted me parece
Qué está mi mamá en la reja,
Porqué ésta casa era mía,
Cuando era mía mi vieja...
El barrio está transformado
Y hoy veo, al llegar de lejos,
Que sólo en él no ha cambiado
La casita de los viejos.
Si hasta la verja de hierro
Desde allí parece hablarme,
Y usted me mira y su perro
Me ladra como pa' echarme...
Vecina, si usted supiera,
Ahora soy un extraño,
Sin embargo, entonces era del barrio...
Pero hace años.
Entonces, cuando mi vieja
Era la dueña de casa,
Toda esta casa era mía,
Porque era mía mi vieja.

When She Was My Mother

Neighbor, don't mind me,
And don't look at me with distrust,
If I've been standing here for a while,
Stopped in front of your house.
When I see you, it seems to me
That it's my mother in the window,
Because this house was mine,
When my mother was mine...
The neighborhood has changed so much,
And today when I came from afar,
I see that the only thing that hasn't changed
Is the old folks' house.
Even the iron gate
Seems to speak to me from over there,
And you look at me and your dog
Barks at me as if to chase me away...
Neighbor, if you only knew,
Now I'm a stranger,
But once, I was a neighborhood boy...
But it was years ago.
Back then, when my old lady
Was the lady of the house,
This whole house was mine,
Because my mother was mine.
