Lyrics of Levanta la Frente - Julio Sosa

Levanta la Frente (original)

Levanta la frente.
No escondas la cara
Enjuga tus lágrimas, échate a reír
No tengas vergüenza, a tu rostro aclara;
¿por qué tanta pena?, ¿por qué tal sufrir?
Ya sé que tu falta será para el mundo
Escándalo, risa, placer y baldón;
Mas yo soy tu hermano, y al ser juez me fundo
Según los dictados que da el corazón
No es falta la falta de dar luz a un niño:
La ley de dar frutos es ley de la flor…
No peca quien brinda la fe del cariño
Ni es crimen el darse confiada al amor
Malvado es el hombre que infiere la ofensa;
Infame es el hombre que bebe y se va
Y deja en la fuente, la flor y no piensa
No piensa siquiera que un ser nacerá
Acércate, hermana;
no llores, no temas;
La ley de ser madre es ley natural;
Las madres son diosas con santas diademas
Ya cumplan o violen la norma legal
La madre casada, la madre soltera…
Son todas iguales: son una, no dos;
Lo nieguen las leyes, lo niegue quien quiera
¡son todas iguales delante de Dios!
¡No llores, hermana… Ya ves… te comprendo
De nada te culpo, mi afecto te doy;
Mi casa, mis brazos, mis puños te ofrendo;
Del hijo que traes cual padre ya soy
No temas, hermana;
tendrás mis ahorros
Tendrás todo aquello que aquí dentro ves…
Tu buena cuñada me dio dos cachorros;
De cuenta haré, hermana, que ya tengo tres

(translation)

Raise your forehead.
don't hide your face
Wipe away your tears, laugh
Do not be ashamed, your face is clear;
Why so much pain? Why such suffering?
I already know that your lack will be for the world
Scandal, laughter, pleasure and shame;
But I am your brother, and being a judge I found myself
According to the dictates that the heart gives
The lack of giving birth to a child is not a fault:
The law of bearing fruit is the law of the flower...
Does not sin who offers the faith of affection
Nor is it a crime to give oneself entrusted to love
Wicked is the man who inflicts the offense;
Infamous is the man who drinks and leaves
And he leaves the flower in the fountain and does not think
He does not even think that a being will be born
Come closer, sister;
don't cry, don't be afraid;
The law of being a mother is a natural law;
Mothers are goddesses with holy diadems
They already comply with or violate the legal norm
The married mother, the single mother...
They are all the same: they are one, not two;
The laws deny it, whoever wants to deny it
they are all equal before God!
Don't cry, sister... You see... I understand you
I blame you for nothing, I give you my affection;
I offer you my house, my arms, my fists;
Of the son that you bring, which father I am already
Fear not, sister;
you will have my savings
You will have everything that you see inside here...
Your good sister-in-law gave me two puppies;
I'll count, sister, I already have three
