Old Little Town
Beloved little moon hanging from the sky like a lantern that my God placed, to illuminate the silent nights of this old town of my heart, little town of my childhood with small houses, through your quiet streets my youth ran, it was with you that I began to love for the first time, and you never taught me what ingratitude is, today I come here to your lands bringing my songs and leaving you to suffer with a sick soul,
I want, old little town, to die here on your ground under the light of the sky that once saw me born,
I want, old little town, to die here on your ground under the light of the sky that once saw me born,
(listen, old little town, I keep your memories alive)
Beloved little moon hanging from the sky like a lantern that my God placed
()
Through your quiet street my youth ran, it was with you that I began to love
()
I come from far away bringing my songs for my town
()
Even though I am far away, I cannot forget you, old little town, because there I have my children, my parents, and my grandparents
()
I carry you in my heart, I love you so much because it was on that ground where I was born
()
I remember your palm trees by the sea, the breeze in the morning, and mama's smile
()
I want, old little town, to die here on your ground under the light of the sky that once saw me born
()
To illuminate the tiny houses on the small streets of the town where I was born
()
And with this, I bid farewell, but someday I will return to you...
