És Mais Que Uma Mulher

You are more than a woman, you are a saint
No matter how many words I use, it's useless
All the good in me, you taught me
You gave what you had, never asked for anything
How many times I wanted to leave and ended up staying
The last thing I want in the world is to make you cry
I know you'll be by my side when no one else is
You'll give your love when no one else wants me
I suffer with other people's problems, I'm like you
I tell you not to be like that but, I'm like you
I think your kindness is sometimes a flaw
To see someone happy, you're willing to give up a right
You take bread from your mouth, if necessary
It was for you that Paradise was invented
You didn't study but your wisdom is infinite
It was never written but every day it's spoken
Blessed are you, alone you raised a family
Five sons and a daughter
And from that daughter, your grandson was born
You gave us love, food, education, and a roof

You are more than a woman to me
My love for you is unconditional
And when no one else loves me
I know you'll be here to hug me

How can you be so fragile and yet so strong?
You didn't wait for anyone, you made your own luck
I admire you, I admire you with all my heart
No obstacle could divert you from your mission
I find myself complaining but then I remember you
I stop and think and realize that I never really suffered
You went through things I can't even imagine
And it's you who strengthens me when I feel weak
You were a mother, a father, a teacher, and a friend
So many years of fatigue, yet you're still a girl
Beautiful and always will be
You feel what I feel without needing to say
I'd go to the ends of the earth just to see you smile
And I pray to God to never disappoint you
I love you from the bottom of my heart
You are more than a woman, you are a saint
