Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Soy Madre Soltera by Jenni Rivera from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
Cuando le dije 'un hijo vendrá'
When I told him 'a child will come'
Agachó la cara negando su fruto
He lowered his face denying his fruit
En forma increíble, fría, casi cruel
In an incredible way, cold, almost cruel
Me dijo el ingrato 'deshazte de el'
The ungrateful one told me 'get rid of it'
Chorus 1
No sentí dolor, odio no sentí
I didn't feel pain, I didn't feel hate
Lo miré poco hombre, lo compadecí
I looked at him, a small man, I pitied him
Di la media vuelta y juré luchar
I turned around and swore to fight
Hasta ver el fruto de este amor fugaz
Until I see the fruit of this fleeting love
Soy madre soltera
I'm a single mother
Y mi vida entera daría por el
And I would give my whole life for him
Por ese pequeño, velo por sus sueños
For this little one, I watch over his dreams
Y sueño con el
And dream of him
Soy madre soltera, lucho como fiera
I'm a single mother, I fight like a beast
Soy hombre y mujer
I'm man and woman
Y ojalá que nunca, nunca me reprochen
And hopefully they never, never reproach me
Padre no tener
For not having a father
Chorus 2
No sentí dolor, odio no sentí
I didn't feel pain, I didn't feel hate
Lo miré poco hombre, lo compadecí
I looked at him, a small man, I pitied him
Di la media vuelta y juré luchar
I turned around and swore to fight
Hasta ver el fruto de este amor fugaz
Until I see the fruit of this fleeting love
Soy madre soltera
I'm a single mother
Y mi vida entera daría por el
And I would give my whole life for him
Por ese pequeño, velo por sus sueños
For this little one, I watch over his dreams
Y sueño con el
And dream of him
Soy madre soltera lucho como fiera
I'm a single mother, I fight like a beast
Soy hombre y mujer
I'm man and woman
Y ojalá que nunca, nunca me reprochen
And hopefully they never, never reproach me
Padre no tener
For not having a father
