I fight to death for you my treasure
Don’t complain child if I’m late.
Oh, what a rocky road
anguish close by and my child far away!
Oh, what a rocky road
anguish close by, my child far away!
Do not ask me child why I'm crying
What shall I do if life demands so much of me
Go to sleep and I will cover you.
Oh, what a rocky road
anguish close by and my child far away!
Oh, what a rocky road
anguish close by and my child far away!
Sunday sun, shine with all your might
for I’ll go with my child to gather caresses.
I will dress as a mother, with her smiles.
Oh, what a rocky road
anguish close by and my child far away!
Oh, what a rocky road
anguish close by and my child far away!
