[English]

Barely seventeen years old with a difficult past

Money, an umbrella, and the streets were all she knew

But she decided to go out and make a life for herself

...

At twenty-four, suitcase in hand, she left

Life was finally going to change for her

New country, time to work

And she swore to her mother she would buy her a house

I’ll return

I swear I’ll come back

I’ll return

I’m going to come and find you

Vo-vo-vo-I’ll return

I swear I’ll come back

I’ll return

She promised her mother she would return

...

After eight years living in the shadows

She received her first big check for singing

She fought hard every single day

She won against life

But her mother went to heaven before seeing her succeed

I’ll return

I swear I’ll come back

I’ll return

I’m going to come and find you

Vo-vo-vo-I’ll return

I swear I’ll come back

I’ll return

She promised her mother she would return

I don’t know if I’ll return

I don’t know if I’ll return

I don’t know if I’ll return

...

I don’t know if I’ll return

I don’t know if I’ll return

I don’t know if I’ll return

...

[Spanish]

Apenas diecisiete años y un duro pasado

La pasta, el paragua y la calle le habían visitado

Pero ella decide salir a buscarse la vida

A los veinticuatro, maleta en la mano, se iba

La vida al fin le iba a cambiar

Nuevo país, a trabajar

Y le juró a su madre una casa le iba a comprar

Volveré

Te juro que volveré

Volveré

Te voy a venir a buscar

Vo-vo-vo-volveré

Te juro que volveré

Volveré

A su madre le prometió volver

Después de ocho años viviendo en la ilegalidad

Le dieron su primer gran cheque por verla cantar

Todos los días le chingó

Ella a la vida le ganó

Pero su ma se fue al cielo antes de verla triunfar

Volveré

Te juro que volveré

Volveré

Te voy a venir a buscar

Vo-vo-vo-volveré

Te juro que volveré

Volveré

A su madre le prometió volver

No sé si volveré

No sé si volveré

No sé si volveré

No sé si volveré

No sé si volveré

No sé si volveré
