Текст и перевод песни Los Invasores de Nuevo León - Viejo Arrepentido

Viejo Arrepentido

La noche estaba serena,
La luna brillaba intensa
Mi muchacho, y mi caballo,
Era mi, fortuna inmensa
Y la cabaña del rancho,
Testigo, de mi tristeza

Sientate enfrente muchacho,
Platicaremos tantito
Te contare de tu madre,
Que fuera, mi amor bendito
Unico amor, en mi vida,
Pero el, destino es maldito

Cuando tu llegaste al mundo,
Se murio en mis propios brazos
Yo sin poder hacer nada,
La cabaña fue escenario
Pense tambien en la muerte,
Pero descubri tu llanto

Lleno de rabia maldije,
La hora, de aquel momento
Perdi lo que mas amaba,
Por aquel, alumbramiento
Que tan grande era mi error,
Pero ahora, me arrepiento

Quiero que tu me perdones,
De hombre, a hombre te digo
Solo quedamos tu y yo,
En este mundo hijo mio
Pronto partire con ella,
Al valle, desconocido

Cuando elevez tu mirada,
Al cielo y al infinito,
Y veas brillar los astros,
Mi alma estara, contigo
Esas fueron las palabras,
De aquel viejo arrepentido.

Old Man's Regret

The night was serene, my love,
The moon shone bright above,
My boy, and my horse so true,
Were my fortune, me and you,
And the cabin on the ranch so wide,
Witnessed all my sorrow inside.

Sit down, son, right here by me,
Let's talk a while, you and me,
I'll tell you of your mother dear,
Who was my blessed love, my dear,
The only love I ever knew,
But fate, my love, was cruel and untrue.

When you came into this world, my son,
She died in my arms, her race was run,
I couldn't do a thing, my dear,
The cabin was a stage of fear,
I thought of death, I must confess,
But then I heard your cry, my precious.

Filled with rage, I cursed the time,
The hour of that sorrowful chime,
I lost what I loved most, you see,
Because of that birth, you and me,
How great my error was, my dear,
But now, my love, I feel such fear.

I want you to forgive me, son,
Man to man, this must be done,
Only you and I remain, it's true,
In this world, my son, me and you,
Soon I'll depart with her, my love,
To the valley unknown, up above.

When you raise your eyes so blue,
To the heavens, infinite and true,
And see the stars shining bright,
My soul will be with you, day and night,
These were the words, so soft and low,
Of that old man, filled with woe.
