He left the ranch in search of money
_____
The cows and cattle weren't earning a single peso
_____
Riding his horse, he thought calmly
_____
He went to the other side and vanished for a long time
_____
His family cried and his mother didn't know
_____
Not even where he was nor where he'd end up
_____
One day a nice, fancy car was seen on the ranch
_____
Behind the wheel was a kid with very dark windows
_____
In a little shack he saw a lady sitting
_____
You could see the poverty in her clothes there
_____
Then a cheerful boy arrived and told her with a big smile
_____
Ma'am, why are you sad?, don't you see that your son came to see you?
_____
He said, bring down the gifts for my dear mother
_____
Kill a couple of calves because I want to celebrate
_____
Mother, where's my old man that I want to greet him
She said, over there by the horses
_____
Very close to the corral
_____
And that's how Kevin Ortiz sounds, my buddy Ulices
That's right, buddy Kevin
And nothing but forward, big guy
_____
The kid took off running, he couldn't hold back the urge anymore
_____
To see that old man, he really missed him
_____
When he reached the corral, he couldn't believe it
_____
His old man buried and a wreath of roses
_____
His mother told him, your father left us
_____
He died at work and he was always hardworking
_____
He asked to be buried here on the ranch
_____
And if his son came back, it'd only be to visit him
_____
The band had been playing loud for almost a week
_____
And in front of that grave, sad, the boy cried
_____
Remembering the old man sadly, they say they've seen him drinking
If they don't see him happy
_____
It's because he's always remembering the old man
