Hacelo Por La Vieja (feat. Alberto Moran)
Osvaldo Pugliese
Do It for Mom
Help me out, brother
I’m ready by the palm tree
I know well that the one who waits
Will soon take me away
That’s why, you old drunk
Womanizer, I beg you
I just ask you, please
Listen to me without complaining
I have no one in this world
Except for you and my old lady
Because of me, poor thing
You know how much I cry
But you still have time
If you want, you can break free
And you won’t regret it
Like I regret it now
Do it for mom
Get away from the bar
You know what’s waiting for you
If you keep this up
Can’t you see it’s dangerous
To live life like a party?
Do it for mom
If you won’t do it for me
I’m not getting out of this, brother
Don’t try to fool me
What’s the point of stressing out
If it had to happen?
Even though poor mom
Lights candles for the Virgin
I know well that I’m in jail
And there’s nothing to be done
Last night, the poor old lady
When no one was watching
Thinking I was asleep
Came to kiss me while crying
I couldn’t pretend to be asleep
I kissed her, hugged her tight
Mom, I said, death
Will take me away soon.
