There are others, but these are the first ones to come to mind.
I'm actually working on Donde Voy
Here are the words...
DONDE VOY
(Where I go)
By Tish Hinojosa
Madrugada me ve corriendo
(Daybreak finds me running)
Bajo cielo que empieza color
(Under a sky that's beginning to color)
No me salgas sol a nombrarme
(Sun please don't expose me)
A la fuerza de "la migración"
(To the force of the INS)
Un dolor que siento en el pecho
(The pain that I feel in my chest)
Es mi alma que llore de amor
(Is my heart that hurts for love)
Pienso en ti y tus brazos que esperan
(I think of you and your arms that wait)
Tus besos y tu passión
(Your kisses and your passion)
(Chorus)
Donde voy, donde voy
(Where I go, where I go)
Esperanza es mi destinación
(Hope is my destination)
Solo estoy, solo estoy
(I'm alone, I'm alone)
Por el monte profugo me voy
(Through the desert, a fugitive, I go)
Dias semanas y meces
(Days, weeks and months)
Pasa muy lejos de ti
(Pass far away from you)
Muy pronto tu llega dinero
(Soon you'll receive some money)
Yo te quiero tener junto a mi
(I want to have you near me)
El trabajo me llena las horas
(Work fills my hours)
Tu risa no puedo olividar
(Your laughter I can't forget)
Vivir sin tu amor no es vida
(To live with out your love isn't living)
Vivir de prófugo es igual
(To live as a fugitive is the same)
Re. John Prine playing Steve Goodman's song: That did it. Funny how you can cry and smile at the same time. I probably could name some more songs that made me cry if my middle aged memory was better, Thanks for the post, It doesn't get much better than Prine and Goodman,
