Canto a La Muerte
Rubén Blades
Song to Death
Don't rejoice death, today with your victory,
For my mother lives entirely in my memory.
Don't be proud if you see me crying,
I'm not ashamed
Of missing her.
Death has taught me
Not to fear you
My dear old lady left fighting.
Don't be proud death,
Your triumph is empty,
I protect her love
And she watches over mine.
Saying goodbye is difficult, buddy
But it is even more
When it is given to a mother.
It leaves an impossible void to fill
For all eternity
Orphan is my love.
CHORUS
Mother, there is only one in life….
FINAL: sleep, sleep, my love.
