Lyrics

Español

Estoy a un solo paso de la muerte, yo sé que se aproxima mi final. Por eso, hermano mío, vine a verte, por ella, por la vieja, nada más. Por ella, vos sabes que yo he dejado de mi vida que hoy se apaga lo mejor, en cuidarla con amor sólo he pensado y a todo lo demás cerré mi corazón. ¡Hermano! Por mimarla o por cuidarla yo nunca supe de farras, ni de amigos de café. ¡Por ella! Por estar siempre a su lado yo ya estaba bien pagado, no quería nada más. ¡Hermano! Quise gritarle mil veces que ya estoy en el final. Y el corazón no me deja: ¿Cómo le digo a la vieja, que no ha de verme jamás? Hermano estás llorando y te avergüenzas, los hombres también lloran, ¿no me ves? Tus lágrimas me dicen que la vieja tendrá tu corazón, tendrá tu fe. Que vos la cuidaras como hasta ahora, con mi cariño grande, la cuidé. Dejame que te apriete entre mis brazos. Tranquilo, ya me voy, hermano no llorés.

I am only one step away from death, I know that my end is near. That's why, my brother, I came to see you, for her, for the old woman, nothing else. For her, you know that I have left the best of my life that today is fading away, I have only thought of taking care of her with love and I closed my heart to everything else. Brother! To pamper her or to take care of her I never knew about partying, nor of coffee friends. For her! For always being by her side I was already well paid, I wanted nothing more. Brother! I wanted to shout a thousand times that I'm already at the end. And my heart won't let me: How do I tell the old woman that she will never see me again? Brother, you are crying and you are ashamed, men cry too, don't you see me? Your tears tell me that the old woman will have your heart, will have your faith. That you will take care of her as you have done so far, with my great affection, I took care of her. Let me hold you in my arms. Calm down, I'm leaving, brother, don't cry.
