Pra Minha Mãe

It was on a special day that God gave you to me as a gift;
I couldn't see, but I could already hear clearly;
That's when I felt your hand caressing me, your voice calming me to sleep;
Your love embraced me, your warmth warmed me;
I then realized that you were everything to me.

You are love, you are warmth, you are the morning breeze;
You are the light, Jesus' hand guiding my steps with love.
You bring me affection and peace, you teach me how to walk;
All I can say is: I love you and will always love you.

I know that one day I will leave and go around the world like people do,
And I will grow and learn how to live and be different;
But I will remember the lessons I learned and the things I saw with you.
I will walk alone, but I will have your dreams;
In the longing of goodbye, I will carry the memories of love.

You are love, you are warmth, you are the morning breeze;
You are the light, Jesus' hand guiding my steps with love.
You bring me affection and peace, you teach me how to walk;
All I can say is: I love you and will always love you. (3x)
