Mamá, dame 100 pesetas [English translation]

This town has no hopes or ambition,

Because happiness or love never come by here;

Everybody criticizes what I am, what I am not;

That is why, old town, I will leave you, I'll be gone.

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know if I'll return;

Perhaps, perhaps someday I'll return.

Mother, give me 100 coins because I'm leaving to America.

Mother, give me 100 coins because I'm leaving to America.

But I don't know if someday I'll return.

But I don't know if someday I'll return.

But I don't know if someday I'll return.

Only when I travel throughout the world I'll think

If I have lived enough, if I remember yesterday;

But if that morning is as sad as today,

I won't hesitate a moment, I will say again "I'm gone".

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know if I'll return;

Perhaps, perhaps someday I'll return.

Mother, give me 100 coins because I'm leaving to America.
