Cuando se marcha una abuela (Pasodoble)

When a grandma leaves
She never really leaves completely
To keep us from being alone
She finds a way

To stay close to you
When a grandma leaves
Her habits
Echo throughout the house

The Sunday strolls in the square
Hot chocolate in the plaza
Tickles with a laugh
And a little kiss on the nose

When a grandma leaves
It hurts for a lifetime
Because it breaks your soul
For the very first time

And that pain never fades
Because there's no love on earth
Like the one that gives you its arm
And I never dreamed so beautifully

As when I was asleep in her arms
The cold of the world was defeated
By her hands of needle and yarn
And no one sang a saeta

Like my grandma used to sing them to me
My goddess of a thousand loves
Miracles of bread and stew
When there wasn't even enough to eat

If you had a grandma
Like mine
Remember all those little things
With joy

Because that's the most beautiful way
To bring them here
For by singing and remembering
We make them come alive

And when it's my turn to go
You can be sure
That there won't be any gods

To separate us again
And to the last corner of the universe
Will go your mischievous child

To give you a kiss
To give you a kiss
To give you a kiss
