Madre
Carlos Gardel
Mother
I lived disoriented
I dreamed in some world
I sank into the deep sea
With delirious zeal of crazy youth
I was attracted to pleasures
An abyss, women
Already without mother or duties
Without love or gratitude
Mother
Sadness overwhelmed me
And I cried without your love
When I sank into the night
From my deep pain
Mother
There is no affection more sublime
Nor more sacred to me
Disappointments redeem
And I returned to the memories of the soul
I killed my illusions
I embittered my own life
I felt in the wounded soul
The dart of pain that vice left me
Since then I cry sorrows
And only seek affection
From my mother whom I adore
And felt my deviations
