La madre Tierra es madre soltera
Mother Earth is a single mother
Uh, su luna no es de miel
Uh, her moon is not honeymoon
Él se marchó hace dos años dejándola en la dulce espera
He left two years ago leaving her in the sweet wait
Y su corazón ya no espera por él
And his heart no longer waits for him
Aún es joven la Madre Tierra
Mother Earth is still young
Uh, la flor de la edad
Uh, the flower of age
Cruzando el cielo el pelo al viento
Crossing the sky, hair in the wind
Y el niño en la cadera
And the child on the hip
Yo me volví al verla pasar
I turned when I saw her go by
Por el azul
by the blue
Azul del cielo
sky blue
Uh, con su vestido del azul del mar, azul del mar
Uh, with her sea blue, sea blue dress
Está en el paro, la Madre Tierra
She is unemployed, Mother Earth
Uh, pero sabe pelear
Uh, but she knows how to fight
Y algunas noches hace suplencias de camarera
And some nights she fills in as a waitress
Si alguna vecina le cuida el chaval
If a neighbor takes care of the kid
Mi mesa la atiende la Madre Tierra
My table is served by Mother Earth
'Ya vamos a cerrar' me dice
'We're going to close' she tells me
Y yo le digo 'Te vi con tu niño
And I tell him 'I saw you with your child
Vivimos en la misma acera
We live on the same sidewalk
Si ya te vas, te puedo acompañar' oh
If you're leaving, I can accompany you' oh
Por el azul
by the blue
Azul del cielo
sky blue
Uh, con su vestido del azul del mar, azul del mar
Uh, with her sea blue, sea blue dress
Por el azul
by the blue
Azul del cielo
sky blue
Uh, con su vestido del azul del mar, azul del mar
Uh, with her sea blue, sea blue dress
Por el azul
by the blue
Azul del cielo
sky blue
Uh, con su vestido del azul del mar, azul del mar
Uh, with her sea blue, sea blue dress
La madre Tierra es madre soltera
Mother Earth is a single mother
