Queridos Padres [English translation]

When I left my house

I felt such a cruel anguish

There wasn't a moment

That I didn't want to come back.

I was always thinking about my father

And of my siblings too

And of my saintly mother

Who I left back home crying.

Virgin of the Roads1

Always guide me on the right path

So that I never forget

Those I've known how to love.

And if one day I forget

Don't ever forgive me

Because to forget one's mother

Is something that can never be forgiven.

Father, you who always

Had moral respect

And of you dear mother

A true and great love.

Virgin of the Roads

Always guide me on the right path

So that I never forget

Those I've known how to love.

And if one day I forget

Don't ever forgive me

Because to forget one's mother

Is something that can never be forgiven.
