Solo Deje Yo Mi Padre

One day by surprise I told my father
That I had decided to travel north
I was tired of so much poverty
And that I wanted to be able to help him

With much sadness my father told me
Son, don't leave, don't leave me alone
I am already very old, maybe when you return
You will find me underground

I only left my father
Alone working the land
They say they heard him crying
There next to his plot

They say they heard him praying
So that I would be well
And he asked the heavens for me
To return soon

And wherever you are, my old man
And don't cry Montez

The years went by
I wrote very little
And over time I forgot
But one day suddenly the news came
That my old man was dying

Now that I return, my father is dead
As he told me, he is underground
And it crushes me with remorse
For leaving him alone for so long

I only left my father
Alone working the land
They say they heard him crying
There next to his plot

They say they heard him praying
So that I would be well
And he asked the heavens
For me to return soon
