Lyrics

Español

Dame un abrazo mi noble esposa y, al calorcito del dulce hogar, mientras los pibes bailan y ríen añoraremos la mocedad. ¿Te acordás, vieja, de aquella tarde cuando temblando por la emoción y acobardado por tu belleza por vez primer te hablé de amor. Como rojas amapolas tus mejillas vi encender y tus ojos se cerraron como flor de atardecer. De tus labios incitantes un suspiro echó a volar, y el lucero de la tarde nuestras bocas vio juntar. Felices años que en este nido dieron sus frutos de bendición, nuestros hijitos, que ya son hombres buenos y honrados como tú y yo. ¡Cómo han crecido! Ya tienen alas, pronto su nido querrán hacer, y solos, vieja, nos quedaremos... solos y tristes con la vejez. Pero nuevas primaveras han de dar flores de amor y vendrán los nietecitos a curar nuestro dolor; con sus risas y sus cantos nuestra vida alegrarán y después... después mi vieja... nuestros ojos cerrarán.

English · machine translation

Give me a hug my noble wife and, in the warmth of home sweet home while the kids are dancing and laughing. we'll long for our youth. Do you remember, old lady, that afternoon when trembling with emotion and cowed by your beauty for the first time I spoke to you of love. Like red poppies I saw your cheeks light up and your eyes closed like a sunset flower. From your inciting lips a sigh took flight, and the evening star saw our mouths meet. Happy years that in this nest bore their fruits of blessing, our little children, who are already men good and honest men like you and me. How they have grown! They already have wings, soon they will want to make their nest, and alone, old woman, we'll stay... alone and sad with old age. But new springs will give flowers of love and the grandchildren will come to heal our pain; with their laughter and their songs they will brighten our life and then... then my old lady... our eyes will close.
