Las 4 Velas

When I was far away
Very calmly I strolled
Spending my good money
I didn't care about anything
But then a letter arrived
Saying my mother was dying
I came as fast as I could
To see if I could reach her
Asking God in heaven
To shorten my way
I only found the four candles
That were about to go out
Dear mother, I ask you
To forgive my mistakes
On my knees at your grave
I bring you these white flowers
You who are up there in heaven
Send me your blessings
Dear mother, I ask you
To forgive my mistakes
On my knees at your grave
I bring you these white flowers
You who are up there in heaven
Send me your blessings
