Gracias Mama

For carrying me nine months as a parasite in you
For giving you a hard time the day I met you
For the blood you lost just as I came out
I thank you, thank you very much mom

For putting up with all my tantrums and complaints
For being sleepy during the day and hardly sleeping at night
For spending your two-month salary on a car
I say thank you, thank you very much mom

For over five thousand sandwiches made
For the flus and colds that I've given you
For changing my diapers without saying it smelled bad
And for always being my personal means of transportation

For understanding the confusions puberty brought me
For buying me good clothes for my first job
For getting me out of debt when I'm fed up
I thank you, thank you very much mom

Oh, mom
I thank you, thank you very much mom
