Tu Partida - Translation

Today I woke up thinking of you

Of what we lived together

Every day and every night that you shared with me

I follow you with my head held high, I walk the path

Proud because wherever I step, you step with me

It was already 6 in the evening and the agony continued

Because you didn't appear while more than 20 people were looking for you

Your mother, full of life, was waiting for you at the door of your house

Hey José, I want to confess that I felt so scared when I saw you

So many people were powerless, and it had to happen to you

Your departure hurts me every time I think of it

Looking at the sky, I remember you like a star

It hurts me not to have you here

I remember fighting at school if I had to defend you

Always that rebellious child

But how f*ed to think that you won't come back

But how f*ed to think that you won't come back

Why did you leave this place empty?

Forever you will be my cousin

Your soul will remain there where my grandmother sat

Because you will always be here by our side

My cousin, I just want to say goodbye to you

To tell you that we are far away now

But one day I will be with you

Our brotherhood is indestructible

And in every family's heart, you will remain an incredible man

Why did you go?

Why did you leave this place empty?

You'll always be my cousin

I didn't think this would happen in our family

Knowing that a son of a b*tch would kill my grandfather from behind

I know you didn't want to leave

That's why you fought against the brink of death

But what does it matter? 

As the chief says

Faith has been decided

My cousin, I just want to say goodbye to you.

To tell you that we're far away now

But someday I'll be with you

How am I going to go on if my motivation is gone?

How am I going to go on if the one who trusted me is gone?

How am I going to keep making more songs for him?

If in the end there's no more reason and my soul is shattered?
