I know that a day will come, because life commands it
This day that I dread, when you will leave us.
I know that a day will come when, sad and lonely
In supporting your mother and dragging my steps
I will return home to a deserted home.
I will return home to us where you will not be.
You will not see anything of the things of my heart.
Your eyes will be burst with joy and happiness
And I will have a smile that you do not know
Which seems to be an emotional smile but is not.
By silencing my pain in your arm, proudly
I will guide your steps, whatever I think or say
In the contemplation of a peaceful church
To go and give yourself to the man of your choice
Who will strip you of the name that is ours
To give you another one that I do not know.
I know that one day will come, you will reach this age
Where we force the cages, having found our way.
I know that one day will come, age will have blossomed you
And the dawn of your life, elsewhere, will get up
And alone with your mother, day and night
In summer like winter, we will be a little cold.
And he who knows nothing of the evil that we gave himself
He who will have done nothing to mature your years
He who will come and steal what I am most afraid of
Our part of the past, our part of happiness
This nameless, faceless stranger, oh! How much I hate him.
And yet, if he should make you happy
I will have no hateful thought towards him
But I will offer him my heart with your hand.
I will do all this knowing that you love him
Simply because I love you, the day he comes.
