Lyrics of A Mi Madre - Alberto Cortez

A Mi Madre (original)

Con los amigos que el oro me produjo
Las horas com afán pasaba yo
Y de mi bolsa al poderoso influjo
Todos gozaban de esplendente lujo
Pero mi madre, no
Pobre Madre!
Yo de ella me olvidaba
Cuando em brazos del vicio me dormi
Un inmenso cortejo me rodeaba
De mis afectos, a nadie le faltaba
Pero a mi madre, sí
ІHoy moribundo, em lágrimas deshecho!
Exclamó com dolor todo acabó
Al ver que gime angustiado pecho
Todos se alejan de mi pobre lecho
Pero a mi madre, no
Y cerca ya del último suspiro
Todos se alejan por lo que hay em mi
La vista em torno de mi lecho giro
Em mi triste redor a nadie miro
Pero a mi madre, sí

(translation)

With the friends that gold produced for me
The hours with eagerness I spent
And from my bag to the powerful influence
Everyone enjoyed resplendent luxury
But my mother, no
Poor Mother!
I forgot about her
When in the arms of vice I fell asleep
An immense procession surrounded me
Of my affections, nobody lacked
But to my mother, yes
Dying today, in tears undone!
She exclaimed in pain, it's all over
Seeing that anguished chest groans
They all get away from my poor bed
But not my mother
And close to the last breath
Everyone walks away for what's in me
The view around my bed turned
In my sad surroundings I look at nobody
But to my mother, yes
