Madre Hay Una Sola
Carlos Gardel
There is Only One Mother
Paying for old craziness
And drowning my sad complaint
I went back to search in the old
Those deep tendernesses
That I left abandoned
And seeing me, nothing was said
About my past clumsiness
Sweetened words
Of love for the son I only heard
Kisses and loves
Friendships
Beautiful deceptions
And rosy illusions
In the world there are plenty
Unfortunately
There is only one mother
And even if one day I forget her
Life finally taught me
That one must return to that love
And let no one come to tear me away
From the side of the one who adores me
Who with a beneficent faith
Strives to console me
From my past pain
Temptations are in vain
To evade her affection
To her, I am always a child
Blessed be her gray hair
Blessed be her love
