Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Huérfano by Grupo Montéz De Durango from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Un preso canto una tarde
A prisoner sings one afternoon
Una muy triste cancion
A very sad song
Ay si mis padres vivieran
Oh if my parents lived
No estuviera aqui en prision
I wasn't here in prison.
Ya por mi hubieran hablado
They would have already spoken for me
Me darian su bendicion
They would give me their blessing
Para el huerfano no hay sol
For the orphan there is no sun
Todos quieren ser el padre
Everyone wants to be the father
Primos, parientes, y hermanos
Cousins, relatives, and siblings
Se averguensan de mi sangre
They are ashamed of my blood
Y a cada paso que doy son recuerdos de mi madre
And every step I take are memories of my mother.
Cuando yo me emborrachaba
When I got drunk
Mi madre me iba a buscar
My mother was going to look for me
Donde quiera que me hayaba
Wherever I Was
Triste se ponia a llorar
Sad he started crying
Y si algo me pasaba
And if something happened to me
Ella me iba a consolar
She was going to comfort me.
Recuerdo que mi decia
I remember that my decia
Cuando me salia a pasear
When I went for a walk
Hijo de la vida mia
Son of my life
No te vayas a tardar
Don't delay
Porque temo que algun dia no me vayas a encontrar
Because I'm afraid that someday you're not going to find me
Pobrecita de mi madre
Poor little mother
Con que lastima murio
With what hurts he died
Dormidita se quedo en el sueno mas profundo
Dormidita stayed in the deepest sleep
Pero desgraciado yo
But wretched I
Que quede solo en el mundo
Let him be left alone in the world
Al llorar mi soledad
As I mourn my loneliness
Cerca de su sepultura
Near his grave
Ay dios mio ten piedad
Oh my god have mercy
Mira mi triste amargura
Look at my sad bitterness
Estas lagimas que lloro
These lagimas that I cry
No las lloro por cobarde
I don't mourn them for being a coward
Las lloro porque me acuerdo
I cry because I remember them
Los recuerdos de mi madre
My mother's memories
Del cielo cayo una flor
From the sky fell a flower
Que en el viento deshoje
That in the wind defoliate
Para todos mis amigos
For all my friends
El huerfano les cante
The orphan sings to them
