17 Primaveras

Seventeen springs
The ones her heart carried
A whole world of illusions
Lit up her face
Everything came crashing down
Or at least that's what she thought
When the news came that she was pregnant

But you were brave
Because you ignored people
When you had to play, you traded dolls for a real child
You had the courage to face reality
And your reward was being called mom
When you had to play, you traded dolls for a real child
You had the courage to face reality
And your reward was being called mom

I don't know how you managed
To explain it to your parents
Because I know that nowadays
They're not like they used to be
That times have changed
Because everything is different
We don't hear nonsense
About what people will say

But you were brave
Because you ignored people
When you had to play, you traded dolls for a real child
You had the courage to face reality
And your reward was being called mom
When you had to play, you traded dolls for a real child
You had the courage to face reality
And your reward was being called mom

I don't want to tell you
That I always felt proud
Of being who I am
The most beautiful and most lovely
For being a mother and a companion
For being brave among the brave
I want you to listen to these lyrics
They express what my soul feels

Oh but you were brave
Because you ignored people
When you had to play, you traded dolls for a real child
You had the courage to face reality
And your reward was being called mom
When you had to play, you traded dolls for a real child
You had the courage to face reality
And your reward was being called mom
