Cabellitos de Mi Madre
Carmencita Lara
My Mother's Hair
White hair, my mother's
And the silver ones, sacred, they are
Her smooth hands caressed me
That afternoon I left
Her sad eyes
Oh, they looked at me
When I left the sweet home
Beloved neighborhood
Neighborhood of the soul
Take care of my mother, I will return
Today that I am so sad
I want to be close to my mother
But, oh, I can't
I am so far away
All I have left
Is to cry alone
White little hairs
My mother's little hairs
Today that I am so sad
I want to be close to my mother
But, oh, I can't
I am so far away
All I have left
Is to cry alone
Today that I am so sad
I want to be close to my mother
But, oh, I can't
I am so far away
All I have left
Is to cry alone
White hair
My mother's
Humm-mm, mm-mm
