These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Se me destroza el corazón en mil pedazos
My heart breaks into a thousand pieces
Me siento sola como la pluma en el aire
I feel lonely as the feather in the air
De qué me sirve ya la vida en este mundo
What use is life to me in this world
Si ya no tengo las caricias de mi madre
If I no longer have my mother's caresses
Mientras yo andaba disfrutando de placeres
While I was enjoying pleasures
Jamas pensaba que una madre es lo primero
I never thought that a mother comes first
Por que Diosito se llevó a mi pobre madre
Why did Diosito take my poor mother?
Porque una madre no se compra con dinero
Because a mother is not bought with money
Yo no cambiaba ni por mil puñados de oro
I did not change even for a thousand handfuls of gold
Las bendiciones ni el cariño de mi madre
The blessings nor the love of my mother
De carne viva son las lagrimas que lloro
Of living flesh are the tears that I cry
Pero es inútil porque ya las lloro tarde
But it's useless because I cry them late
No hay un tesoro más valioso en este mundo
There is no more valuable treasure in this world
Que una madre que nos dió el ser y la vida
That a mother who gave us being and life
Que su cariño nos ofrece hasta que muere
That she offers her affection to us until she dies
Se llora tarde cuando ya se ve perdida
She cries late when she already looks lost
Yo no cambiaba ni por mil puñados de oro
I did not change even for a thousand handfuls of gold
Las bendiciones ni el cariño de mi madre
The blessings nor the love of my mother
De sangre viva son las lágrimas que lloro
Of living blood are the tears that I cry
Pero es inútil poque ya las lloro tarde
But it's useless because I cry them late
