El Lamento De Concepcion
Roberto Roena
Concepcion's Lament
As if everything in life were lacking
Concepción looks up to the sky
as if the world were falling on her
Concepción told her sorrow
and said, there are children to support
and said, there are children to support
if I am one of those below, what does it matter
I have the same right to live.
If I am one of those below
what does it matter
I have the same right to live.
It gives a lot of work
to find something to work on
how much work it is, not working.
But it gives a lot of work
to find something to work on
how much work it is, not working.
As if everything in life were lacking
Concepción looks up to the sky
as if the world were falling on her
Concepción told her sorrow, ..cries..
Chorus:
Concepción looks up to the sky
shouting, there are children to support.
Concepción in her lament
and in her terrible agony
asks the Lord
to help her find bread for each day.
Listen, the fact that I am from below
has nothing to do
I also have the right
to support and feed my children.
It doesn't matter if those above
won't help you
if the Lord knows you are good
He will relieve you here.
Concepción tells me
that she is very desperate
and keeps saying
that her whole being is cursed.
Don't let yourself be fooled
move forward, coward
it doesn't matter if they criticize you
if things are getting tough.
