Siempre en la noche mi mamá buscaba el sueño
Always at night my mother looked for sleep
Frente a la televisión, y me pedía que por favor
In front of the television, and asked me to please
No la apagara, su soledad en aquel cuarto cuarto
He wouldn't turn it off, his loneliness in that fourth room
No aguantaba, aunque jamás lo confesó
He couldn't stand it, although he never confessed it
Yo niño, no entendía su horror, porque uno es joven
As a child, I did not understand its horror, because one is young
Y no sabe del amor, crecí mirando a mi madre vivir
And he doesn't know about love, I grew up watching my mother live
Aferrada a una esperanza que la enterró, toda
Clinging to a hope that buried her, all
Amargada, dentro de una noche que no acabó
Bitter, inside a night that did not end
Y mi madre le ha temido a la noche desde el día
And my mother has feared the night since day
Que se fue mi papá
my dad left
Hoy la miro y comprendo que ella aún piensa
Today I look at her and I understand that she still thinks
Que las cuentas del alma no se acaban nunca de pagar
That the bills of the soul are never finished paying
Hoy día comprendo su dolor, y lo terrible que es amar
Today I understand your pain, and how terrible it is to love
A una ilusión que está atrapada entre la sombra del pasado
To an illusion that is trapped in the shadow of the past
Y que en las noches se libera y va a su lado
And that at night it breaks free and goes to his side
Como el fantasma de un amor que no murió
Like the ghost of a love that did not die
Mi madre le ha temido a la noche desde el día
My mother has feared the night since day
Que se fue mi papá
my dad left
Hoy la miro y comprendo que ella aún piensa
Today I look at her and I understand that she still thinks
Que las cuentas del alma no se acaban nunca de pagar
That the bills of the soul are never finished paying
