Amor y Control
Rubén Blades
Love and control
Leaving the hospital after seeing my mom
Fighting a cancer that cannot be cured
I saw a family pass by, in front was an old man
A lady, two girls and several other people
Hand in hand with the Lord a young man walked
Head down and looking sorry
He was the cause of a family argument
Which we found out when we heard the man shout
Although you are a thief, and although you are not right
I have the obligation to help you
And no matter how many drugs you use and no matter how much you abuse us
The family and I have to take care of you
Only those who have children understand
That the duty of a father never ends
That the love of a father and mother never tires of delivering
That we wish for you what we have never had
That despite the problems, family is family and love is love
I saw them leave with their crying, their labyrinth still facing
In good times and in bad, together walking
And I thought a lot about my family, I loved them so much that moment
That I felt like I was drowning in feeling
That boy and my poor mother
Two different people, but two same tragedies
How much control and how much love
It has to be in a house
A lot of control and a lot of love
To face misfortune
No matter how many discussions there are inside your house
No matter how much you think your love is a lost cause
Rest assured that they love you
And that love lasts a lifetime
How much control and how much love
It has to be in a house
A lot of control and a lot of love
To face misfortune
Always maintain love and control in the face of grief
Combining hope and feeling
Turning your back, the problems don't go away
Not even impatience solves suffering
How much control and how much love
It has to be in a house
A lot of control and a lot of love
To face misfortune
Love and control
Love and control
Love and control
