El Hijo Ausente

Another year goes by and I'm so far away
Another Christmas without seeing my people
Mother, I humbly ask you
That in the New Year's Eve you remember me

Set a place on the table
For the son who will not arrive
And though I won’t be there to raise my glass
May my cup always be full to the brim

And when midnight comes
When laughter and tears blend among the people
Send me a strong hug
And ask everyone who's present

Let's raise a glass for the absent one
May he be here next year
Let's wish him good luck
And may God keep him away from death

Let's raise a glass for the absent one
May he be here next year
Let's wish him good luck
And may God keep him away from death

How beautiful you are

Another year goes by and I'm so far away
Another Christmas without seeing my people
Mother, I humbly ask you
That in the New Year's Eve you remember me

Set a place on the table
For the son who will not arrive
And though I won’t be there to raise my glass
May my cup always be full to the brim

And when midnight comes
When laughter and tears blend among the people
Send me a strong hug
And ask everyone who's present

Let's raise a glass for the absent one
May he be here next year
Let's wish him good luck
And may God keep him away from death

Let's raise a glass for the absent one
May he be here next year
Let's wish him good luck
And may God keep him safe from death
