Mãe Amorosa

Among the words of the world that I love so much in life
The holy name of mother is the dearest word
That's why this song will be my messenger
For all my affection to you, Brazilian mother

You already know which name I adore
And we all proudly say
It's the name of a beloved image
That we should never forget

It's the name of our dear little mother
It's a treasure for those who understand
Who fought so much and suffered silently for us
But very few know how to recognize

When the children are all very young
The noble mother gets tired of suffering
To not let anything be lacking for the little ones
She works many times without power

If she's rich, she has all the comfort
But if she's poor, she often has to suffer
She goes through the hardships and doesn't complain
And is proud to see her children grow

And after her children are grown
Fate comes quickly to interrupt
One gets married and others go far away
Always leaving her heart in pain

A heart that lives full of longing
For those who have gone and take a long time to return
Amid sobs, she closes herself in a room
And her comfort is her tears flowing

How beautiful it is to call the name of mother
And satisfied, she comes to attend to us
It's a name that I adore the most in life
Being the reason for us to live

It's like worshiping Our Lady
Who is in heaven to always help us
To disregard her by not listening to her advice
This sin I won't carry when I die
