Текст и перевод песни Los Embajadores Criollos - A Mi Madre

A Mi Madre

Hambre mi madre tenía,
Yo salí y robé un pan
Y mi madre sonreía
Al comerlo con afán

Breve fue su regocijo,
Entraba poco después
En una prisión el hijo,
Y en ella estuve un mes.

Cuando salí del encierro
A mi hogar me encaminé,
Hallé a mi paso un entierro
Pensé en mi madre y lloré.

Cerrada encontré la puerta
De mi solitario hogar
Y mi madre era la muerta
Que llevaban a enterrar.

Hoy lloro entristecido al pie
De su pobre tumba
Que guardan mis recuerdos
Con egoista afán.

Injusticias de este mundo
Que mató mis ilusiones
Dejándome sin madre
Ni a quién pedirle un pan.

... dejándome sin madre
Ni a quién... pedirle un pan.

To My Mother

My mother was hungry,
I went out and stole a loaf of bread
And my mother smiled
As she ate it with eagerness

Her joy was brief,
A little later they entered
A prison the son,
And in it I was a month.

When I left the confinement
I went home,
I found a funeral in my path
I thought of my mother and cried.

I found the door closed
Of my lonely home
And my mother was the dead
That they were taking to bury.

Today I cry saddened at the foot
Of his poor grave
That guard my memories
With selfish eagerness.

Injustices of this world
That killed my illusions
Leaving me without a mother
Nor to whom to ask for a loaf of bread.

... leaving me without a mother
Nor to whome... ask for a loaf of bread.
