Mi Primera Cana

A strand of hair adorns my body
A strand of hair adorns my soul
Oh see, my first gray hair
News of my old age

I know that when Rafael Santos sees me
Full of youth, he tells his mom
Oh, look dad has gray hair
I don't know if she believes it

Goodbye, my youth is leaving
And now I won't see it again
It leaves full of gratitude
And leaves me alone with my old age
It leaves full of gratitude
And leaves me alone with my old age

A bunch of women took the best of my sentimental life
And some treated me badly
And others treated me very well

Life has hit me more than twice
But I have been a very optimistic man
Oh see, thank you Virgin of Carmen
For giving me so many beautiful things

For example, you gave me a woman
Who has been like my mother
Of Luis Angel, of Santos Rafael
Of Diomedes, and the great Martin Elias
Of Luis Angel, of Santos Rafael
Of Diomedes, and the great Martin Elias
