—
She’s a dama (1) without alma.(2)
She steps on my corazón .(3)
Mi hijo, (4) I love him so.
Yo no lo mira (5) anymore.
Calle (6) Dolorosa (7) meets Soledad (8)
in San Anto. (9) That’s where
my pain and loneliness meet. (10)
The time I have con (11) my son
is too poquito. (12)
Y cuando (13) his mom withholds mi hijo,
I miss him so.
The smile of a child
is lo mejor (14) in all el mundo, (15)
pero (16) his absence is too tristie. (17)
No conozco por que (18)
his mom could be so mala (19)
to me or to our boy.
This tiempo feo, (20)
it brings me bajo. (21)
Yo ha listo (22) for el sol to shine. (23)
En la manana (24)
I’ll give him muchos besos (25)
and el grande abrazo (26)
con mucho gusto! (27)
