Soy Un Niño Abandonado
La pastorina
I Am an Abandoned Child
Walking through the world
Without affection and lonely
I have no father, no mother
I am an abandoned child
Since I came into the world
I am a heartless child
A heart without conscience
Left me in a doorway
An old elderly lady
Who was walking through that place
Upon hearing a child cry
She would pick me up in her arms
Don't cry child, don't cry
Don't cry newborn
Even though you've been abandoned
I will give you my affection
When ten years had passed
The old lady was dying
But before dying she confesses to me
That she was not my mother
That she had found me
In the darkness of a doorway
And with a kiss on my forehead
She said while agonizing
Goodbye abandoned child
Goodbye child forever
That's what the old lady said
When death approached her
When death approached her
I kissed her hands
Since then in the world
I am an abandoned child
Walking through the world
I saw many women
And always in my thoughts
Who will be my mother?
Who will be my mother?
I will never be able to find her
I am the abandoned child
In the darkness of a doorway
In my thoughts I carry
What the old lady said
Walking through the world
Where is my mother?
I don't know if I will find her
Where is my mother?
If I don't find my mother
I would die of sorrow
Walking through the world
Without affection and lonely
I have no father, no mother
I am an abandoned child
I am an abandoned child
In the darkness of a doorway
I am searching for my mother
To forgive her
To forgive her
To forgive her
To forgive her
