Madre Selva(original) |
Vieja pared del arrabal |
Tu sombra fue mi compañera |
De mi niñez sin esplendor |
La amiga fue tu madreselva |
Cuando temblando mi amor primero |
Con esperanzas besaba mi alma |
Yo junto a vos pura y feliz |
Cantaba así mi primera confesión |
Madreselvas en flor que me vieron nacer |
Y en la vieja pared sorprendieron mi amor |
Tu humilde caricia es como el cariño |
Primero y querido que siento por él |
Madreselvas en flor que trepándose van |
Es su abrazo tenáz y dulzón como aquél |
Si todos los años tus flores renacen |
Hace que no muera mi primer amor |
Pasaron los años y mil desengaños |
Yo vengo a contarte mi vieja pared |
Así aprendí que hay que fingir |
Para vivir decentemente |
Que amor y fe, mentiras son |
Y del dolor se rie la gente |
Hoy que la vida me ha castigado |
Y me ha enseñado su credo amargo |
Vieja pared con emoción |
Me acerco a vos y te digo como ayer |
Madreselvas en flor que me vieron nacer |
Y en la vieja pared sorprendieron mi amor |
Tu humilde caricia es como el cariño |
Premero y querido que nunca olvidé |
Madreselvas en flor que trepándose van |
Es su abrazo tenáz y dulzón como aquél |
Si todos los años tus flores renacen |
¿por qué ya no vuelve mi primer amor? |
(translation) |
old slum wall |
your shadow was my companion |
Of my childhood without splendor |
The friend was your honeysuckle |
When trembling my love first |
With hopes he kissed my soul |
Me together with you pure and happy |
I sang like this my first confession |
Honeysuckle in bloom that saw me born |
And on the old wall they surprised my love |
Your humble caress is like affection |
First and dearest I feel for him |
Honeysuckle in bloom that climbs |
It is his embrace of him tenacious and sweet like that |
If every year your flowers are reborn |
It keeps my first love from dying |
Years passed and a thousand disappointments |
I come to tell you about my old wall |
That's how I learned that you have to pretend |
to live decently |
What love and faith, lies are |
And people laugh at the pain |
Today that life has punished me |
And he has taught me his bitter creed |
old wall with emotion |
I approach you and tell you like yesterday |
Honeysuckle in bloom that saw me born |
And on the old wall they surprised my love |
Your humble caress is like affection |
First and dear that I never forgot |
Honeysuckle in bloom that climbs |
It is his tenacious and sweet hug like that one |
If every year your flowers are reborn |
Why doesn't my first love come back? |
