Maria Ines

I will write with tears on your heart
And a balm for the sorrow
It takes away the pain
With a rag in hand
I saw her that night
With her mind wandering
She leaned on my car

Listen sir, for a few pesos
I'll go with you
I have no one, much less
Anywhere to live, I am very alone
My name is Maria Ines
For a few pesos, let me
Be with you, with a few
Kisses I will pay you

She saw him crying but didn't understand
Because the man with a sad face felt like
He was dying, excuse me, it's not that bad
Why those tears, it's because
Many years ago
I lost a daughter, I was in prison
For over fifteen years
And now I look for her because I don't know
What to do, I am very sad
I am going to die, she is a dark-skinned girl
Her name is Maria Ines, that's why
I am crying, I can't help it
And I will continue crying, she won't forgive
