My Mom Did Use To Tell Me

Ya Mi Mama Me Decía

Are you going to talk to me or not?¿Me vas a hablar, o no?
Hey!¡Eh!

When I've served my sentenceCuando cumpla mi condena
And the rain puts out the SunY la lluvia apague el sol
When your hair passes byCuando pase tu melena
And it no longer causes me painY ya na' me cause pena
And I don't even recognize my voiceY no conozca ni mi voz
The tired breathEl aliento fatigado
Of singing your name to the SunDe cantar tu nombre al sol
Slow pace, acceleratedPaso lento, acelerado
Today my path has not changedHoy mi rumbo no ha cambiado
We dance to your tuneVamos bailando a tu son

Oh, oh, nightingaleAy, ay, ruiseñor
I have sorrow in my heartTengo pena al corazón
When your hair passes byCuando pase tu melena
And it no longer causes me painY ya na’ me cause pena
And I don't even recognize my voiceY no conozca ni mi voz

If you don't want to see me, MaríaSi no quieres más verme, María
If you don't want to see me anymore, ahSi no quieres verme más, ah
I'll go to AndalucíaYo me voy a Andalucía
My mom did use to tell meYa mi mamá me decía
That I would sing this songCantaría esta canción

Oh, oh, nightingaleAy, ay, ruiseñor
I have sorrow in my heartTengo pena al corazón
When your hair passes byCuando pase tu melena
And it no longer causes me painY ya na' me cause pena
And I don't even recognize my voiceY no conozca ni mi voz
