La Mas Bonita

today she feels lonely
because she doesn't have near the one she misses the most
today with her suitcase she comes and goes
where will she end up?
and every day she deteriorates more

today she forgets everything
but remembers some snippet of her life
today she's tired of dragging
her advanced age
just as her will to fight comes and goes

when I see her cry
I don't know what I would do
I would drink her tears along with her pain and agony
my little girl
let me tell you
so you don't forget that you are a mother

the most beautiful, the most precious, the one who only asks for affection
and is content
the envy of the roses
the best aroma
that life has given me to breathe
the simplest and most kind-hearted
who gave everything for her family
and now thinks she's a burden
don't tell me now to leave you alone
the queen of my life is you, mom

today I realized
that she looks at me and wonders who kisses her
she couldn't remember today
how are you, mom?
and she looked at me with tears

today it hurts me to see her
my princess has worked too hard
today her hands remind me
she lacked nothing
and I can't repay her
not even in an eternity

when I see her cry
I don't know what I would do
I would drink her tears along with her pain and agony
my little girl
let me tell you
so you don't forget that you are a mother

the most beautiful, the most precious, the one who only asks for affection
and is content
the envy of the roses
the best aroma
that life has given me to breathe
the simplest and most kind-hearted
who gave everything for her family
and now thinks she's a burden
don't tell me now to leave you alone
how sad that you forget that you are a mother
the most beautiful, the most precious, the one who only asks for affection
and is content
the envy of the roses
the best aroma
that life has given me to breathe
the simplest and most kind-hearted
who gave everything for her family
and now thinks she's a burden
don't tell me now to leave you alone
the queen of my life is you, mom
