El perdón de la hija de nadie [English translation]

I'm willing to travel to the ends of the earth

and without resentment, search for what is most sacred:

he's the man who bestowed life onto me

and then left me in the bosom of love

of my beloved mother.

And that's why I'm leaving,

because I'm unsatisfied until I see his face,

I need to find him, at a table in a bar

on in a tavern in some town.

They say he's 'round1, that he's 'round

going door to door,

asking for me but unable to find me,

he doesn't know who I am, I've lost him too,

but I'll fight until I'm able to see my beloved father's end.

And that's why, Lord, I beg you to hear my prayers

give forgiveness soon to my father, whom in the end

I never got to meet in my life.
