Thread Name: Lyr Req: After the Fire Is Gone - Spanish lyrics
Subject: Lyr Add: AFTER THE FIRE IS GONE (L. E. White)
I'm not finding any Spanish lyrics, but then I'm not very skilled with Spanish. I'm hoping you can give some more information, like: What album(s) are you listening to? On the album cover, are the song titles given in English, or Spanish, or both? Do you happen to know whether Freddy wrote his own translation into Spanish, or someone else did?

Please look for the songwriters' names on the album cover, or on the record label if this is a vinyl record. If anyone other than L. E. White is mentioned for AFTER THE FIRE IS GONE, or anyone other than Arlie Carter and William Warren for WILD SIDE OF LIFE, it's probably the translator, and that would give me something more to search for.

In the meantime, here is the English version of one of the songs

AFTER THE FIRE IS GONE
(L. E. White)
« © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »

CHORUS: Love is where you find it when you find no love at home,
And there's nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone.

The bottle is almost empty. The clock just now struck ten.
Darling, I had to call you to our favorite place again.
We know it's wrong for us to meet, but the fire's gone out at home,
And there's nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone. CHORUS

Your lips are warm and tender. Your arms hold me just right.
Sweet words of love you remember that the one at home forgot.
Each time we say it's the last time, but we keep hanging on,
And there's nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone. CHORUS

[Recorded as a duet by Charlie Louvin & Melba Montgomery, Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty, Mel Tillis & Sherry Bryce, Tracy Nelson & Willie Nelson, George Jones & Tammy Wynette, Robin & Linda Williams. Also recorded as a solo by Faron Young and by Freddy Fender.]
