Amor y Control - Rubén Blades

Saliendo del hospital

despuÃ(c)s de ver a mi mamá

luchando contra un cáncer

que no se puede curar

vi pasar a una familia

al frente iba un señor de edad

una doña, dos muchachas

y varias personas mas

de la mano del señor

un hombre joven caminaba

cabizbajo y luciendo arrepentido

que el era la causa de

una situación familiar

de la que nos enteramos al oír

al señor gritar

aunque tu seas un ladrón

y aunque no tienes razón

yo tengo la obligación de socorrerte

y por mas drogas que uses

y por mas que nos abuses

la familia y yo tenemos que atenderte

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Solo quien tiene hijos entiende

que el deber de un padre no acaba jamas

que el amor de padre y madre

no se cansa de entregar

que deseamos para ustedes lo que nunca

hemos tenido, que a pesar de los problemas

familia es familia y cariño es cariño

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

los vi marcharse con su llanto

su laberinto enfrentando

en la buena y en la mala juntos caminando

y pensé mucho en mi familia

los quise tanto aquel momento

que sentí que me ahogaba en sentimiento

aquel muchacho y mi pobre madre

dos personas distintas, pero,

dos tragedias iguales

cuanto control y cuanto amor

tiene que haber en una casa

mucho control y mucho amor

para enfrentar a la desgracia

por mas problemas que existan

dentro en tu casa, por mas que

creas que tu amor es causa perdida

ten la seguridad de que ellos te quieren

y que ese cariño dura toda la vida

cuanto control y cuanto amor

tiene que haber en una casa

mucho control y mucho amor

para enfrentar a la desgracia

mantÃ(c)n amor y control siempre ante

la pena combinando la esperanza

y el sentimiento dando la espalda

no se van los problemas

ni la impaciencia resuelve los sufrimientos

cuanto control y cuanto amor

tiene que haber en una casa

mucho control y mucho amor

para enfrentar a la desgracia

amor y control

amor y control

amor y control

leaving the hospital

after seeing my mom

fighting cancer

that cannot be cured

I saw a family go by

in front was an old man

one lady, two girls

and several other people

from the hand of the lord

a young man was walking

head down and looking sorry

that he was the cause of

a family situation

which we found out when we heard

to mr yell

even if you are a thief

and even though you're not right

I have the obligation to help you

and no matter how many drugs he uses

and as much as you abuse us

the family and I have to attend to you

oh oh oh oh oh oh

Only those who have children understand

that the duty of a father never ends

that the love of father and mother

he never tires of delivering

that we wish for you what ever

we have had, that despite the problems

family is family and affection is affection

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I saw them leave with their tears

his labyrinth facing

in the good and in the bad walking together

and I thought a lot about my family

I loved them so much that moment

that I felt that I was drowning in feeling

that boy and my poor mother

two different people, but

two equal tragedies

how much control and how much love

there must be in a house

a lot of control and a lot of love

to face misfortune

no matter how many problems there are

inside your house, no matter how much

you think your love is a lost cause

rest assured that they love you

and that love lasts a lifetime

how much control and how much love

there must be in a house

a lot of control and a lot of love

to face misfortune

keep love and control always before

grief combining hope

and the feeling turning your back

the problems do not go away

not even impatience solves the sufferings

how much control and how much love

there must be in a house

a lot of control and a lot of love

to face misfortune

love and control

love and control

love and control
