Los 5 Pesos

Only memories remain
From when I was a child
From when my mother would say
Get up, son
We have to go to school

Oh, oh, oh, oh
I would get mad at her
Five pesos that accompanied me
I felt like a millionaire

We walked about ten blocks
We didn't have a car
Oh, oh, oh, oh
How we struggled

I was happy and didn't know it
I have to talk about it
And no one was missing from the table
What a beautiful scene
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The years have passed

How nice it feels to remember
I thank God for my parents
Thanks to them, we never knew hunger
In their own way, they knew how to guide me

And for my life and all that I am
I will never be able to repay them
Today things have changed a bit
My son is going to school now

In his face, I remember my childhood
My beautiful childhood
Oh, oh, oh, oh
How I miss my land

The scene at my table has changed
I have a family
My two children and my lovely wife
Brighten my days
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I thank the one above

How nice it feels to remember
I continue strong and looking forward
For my children, I have to strive
So that nothing may be lacking
Because being a family man
Is my greatest achievement
