Ansina Es La Madre Mía
Agustin Magaldi
That's My Mother
Gaucha like a beautiful tune, sharp like a pair of spurs
Graceful like a guitar with ribboned tuning pegs
Soft like a gaze that only inspires trust
Jagüel where calm water overflows with sympathy
That's my mother! My love, my faith, and my hope
Good like blessed bread, heartfelt like a reproach
Sublime like the night that covers to infinity
Joyful like the 'cielito', countrywoman like the saddle; helpful like the groom
Charming like sorrow, that's my good mother! That's why I love her so much
Maybe God, out of jealousy, took her away from the path!
And now my mom is a star shining in the sky
If great was the sorrow her departure caused me
I think that from above, my dear countrywoman
She will continue to be the guide that directs my poor life
Maybe God, out of jealousy, took her away from the path!
And now my mom is a star shining in the sky
