Otro año que pasa y yo tan lejos
Another year goes by and I'm so far away
Otra navidad sin ver mi gente
Another Christmas without seeing my people
Madre, yo te pido humildemente
Mother, I humbly ask you
Que en el año nuevo me recuerdes
that in the new year you remember me
Que en la mesa pongas un lugar
That you put a place at the table
Para el hijo que no ha de llegar
For the son who will not arrive
Sírveme champaña para brindar
pour me champagne to toast
Mi copa siempre a rebosar
My cup always overflowing
Y al llegar la media noche
And when midnight comes
Cuando risa y llantos se
When laughter and tears
Confundan en la gente
confuse in people
Mandame un abrazo fuerte
send me a big hug
Y pídele a todos los presentes
And ask everyone present
Vamos a brindar por el ausente
Let's toast to the absent
Que el año que viene esté presente
May it be present next year
Vamos a desearle buena suerte
Let's wish him good luck
Y que Dios lo guarde de la muerte
And may God save him from death
Vamos a brindar por el ausente
Let's toast to the absent
Que el año que viene esté presente
May it be present next year
Vamos a desearle buena suerte
Let's wish him good luck
Y que Dios lo guarde de la muerte
And may God save him from death
