Mi Madre Querida
Carlos Gardel
My Beloved Mother
Poor my beloved mother
How many sorrows I caused her!
Poor my beloved mother
How many sorrows I caused her!
How many times, hidden
Crying most sincerely
I found her in a corner!
How many times, hidden
Crying most sincerely
I found her in a corner!
And myself, upon seeing her
I couldn't hold back the tears
And myself, upon seeing her
I couldn't hold back the tears
Then I would come to comfort her
With a kiss when embracing her
When asking for forgiveness
Then I would come to comfort her
With a kiss when embracing her
When asking for forgiveness
If the mother in this world
Is the only one who forgives us
If the mother in this world
Is the only one who forgives us
The only one who, without a second thought
And in her deep heart
Knows how to love and never abandons
The only one who, without a second thought
And in her deep heart
Knows how to love and never abandons
How we mistreat the love
Of our beloved mother
How we mistreat the love
Of our beloved mother
How we mistreat the love
Of our beloved mother
She never holds a grudge
She knows how to suffer with pain
And give her life for her child
She never holds a grudge
She knows how to suffer with pain
And give her life for her child
Mother, mother forgive me
I never imagined such sorrow
Mother, mother forgive me
I never imagined such sorrow
Confiding in you, this captive
I come to prostrate myself at your feet
And the past poisons me
