Las 2 Madres

With the sleeve of my shirt I dry the sweat from my forehead
I dry the sweat from my forehead,
And I shake the espadrilles from the hot sands,
And I leave the blanket to anyone to cover up or lie down.

And as a good 'rociero' I like to bring someone who hasn't come, so that on the way back they can tell me what they felt at the 'Rocio'.

(Chorus)
Everyone has one mother and yet I have two
Father, how lucky I am, one who gave birth to me and the Virgin of the 'Rocio'.

I am grateful to my father who brought me
I am grateful to him
If it weren't for him, I wouldn't feel this beautiful shiver that comes over me when I look at you, 'Rocio'.

If it weren't for my father and he hadn't brought me, I would have the misfortune that the 'Rocio' arrived
and I wouldn't come to see you.

(Chorus)

My mother is to blame for me being a 'Rociero'
For me being a 'Rociero'
because she brought me to your side when I was just born
and said to you at the foot of the bars, here you have him, 'Rocio'.

Pray for them, 'Rocio', for me they are both the same, I want the same for both, to her for being my mother and to you for being 'Rociero'.

(Chorus)

I feel sorry for the man who wasn't born a 'Rociero',
Who wasn't born a 'Rociero'
And hasn't had the luck to carry you on his hat
nor adore and love you, 'Rocio', as I do.

My mother is not jealous and you are her hope, she loves you so much, my mother has a cradle in my house for your child.

(Chorus)
