Below, I translated the lyrics of the song The Hardest Time by Los Lobos from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
A toast to love with paper cups
A toast to love with paper cups
And a vow to never part
And a vow to never part
They're saying to each other there's a fire burning
They're saying to each other there's a fire burning
Deep within their hearts
Deep within their hearts
But at her darkest hour he has gone far away
But at her darkest hour he has gone far away
She's all alone
She's all alone
She sends her Mary off to school
She sends her Mary off to school
And sits to watch tv
And sits to watch tv
They're talking about spending their lives together
They're talking about spending their lives together
The way it's supposed to be
The way it's supposed to be
Then the baby cries, wakes her from her dream
Then the baby cries, wakes her from her dream
She's on her own
She's on her own
And when the lights go out its the hardest time
And when the lights go out its the hardest time
The hardest time to be alone
The hardest time to be alone
A Mother's dream is like a story never told
A Mother's dream is like a story never told
Reaching out for something more then a hand to hold
Reaching out for something more then a hand to hold
Wanting the girl she left behind
Wanting the girl she left behind
So far behind
So far behind
Pen and paper in her hand
Pen and paper in her hand
To write the folks back home
To write the folks back home
She's telling them again that her life is better
She's telling them again that her life is better
Not like long ago
Not like long ago
Then her shaking hand tears across the page
Then her shaking hand tears across the page
Crumbles to the floor
Crumbles to the floor
And when the lights go out it is the hardest time
And when the lights go out it is the hardest time
The hardest time to be alone
The hardest time to be alone
