Mamà Vieja

When I left the town
I said goodbye with my hand
And old mama stayed
Very sad at the ranch's door

She gave me permission
To pay with a thousand kisses
And I set off on the path
With my baggage of dreams

Old mama, I sing to her from here
This zamba that I once promised her
Little zamba will be the first
So she remembers me

Even though I am far away
From the town where I was born
I swear to you, old mama
That I don't forget about you

I know that at night
You look at me from a star
And you went to heaven
And my soul cries and sighs
