Mama vieja [English translation]

When I got out of home

i said goodbye with my hand

and old mom stayed

so sad at the door in the ranch

and old mom stayed

so sad at the door in the ranch

She gave me permission

for me to pay her with a thousand kisses

and I went straigth to the path

with my suitcase of dreams

and I went straigth to the path

with my suitcase of dreams

Old mom, I sing to you from here,

this zamba i once promised

zamba ay, to be the first

so you remember me

zamba ay, to be the first

so you remember me

Although i'm so far away

from the home where i was born

i swear my old mom

i'm not forgetting you

i swear my old mom

i'm not forgetting you

I know at nigths

you see me from a star

and you have gone to heaven

and my soul sorrows and whisper

and you have gone to heaven

and my soul sorrows and whisper

Old mom, I sing to you from here

this zamba I once promised

zamba ay, to be the first

so you remember me

zamba ay, to be the first

so you remember me
