Madreselva

Old wall of the suburb
Your shadow was my companion
From my childhood without splendor
Your honeysuckle was my friend
When trembling my first love
With its hope kissed my soul
I, next to you, pure and happy
Sang my first confession like this

Honeysuckles in bloom that saw me born
And on the old wall surprised my love
Your humble caress is like the affection
First and dear that I feel for him

Honeysuckles in bloom that climb
It's embrace tenacious and sweet like that one
If every year your flowers reborn
It keeps my first love from dying

Years have passed and a thousand disappointments
I come to tell you, my old wall
That's how I learned that one must pretend
To live decently

That love and faith are lies
And people laugh at pain
Today that life has punished me
And taught me its bitter creed

Old wall with emotion
I approach you and tell you like yesterday

Honeysuckles in bloom that saw me born
And on the old wall surprised my love
Your humble caress is like the affection
First and dear that I never forgot

Honeysuckles in bloom that climb
It's embrace tenacious and sweet like that one
If every year your flowers reborn
Why doesn't my first love come back?
