Perdón Mamá

Sorry mom
For not being what you wanted
Thank you for showing me that you would give your life for me
As a child, I was embarrassed when you kissed my cheek
And I didn't listen to the things you told me
Now that I'm growing up
I realize things
In a humble family, not everything is rosy
You only asked me to focus on my studies
And without listening to you, I got involved in the suburbs
Your smile always hid all the problems
I didn't realize how the bread got to the table

Today my heart drowns in sorrow with certainties
Sorry for breaking all those promises
How foolish I feel not knowing how you fought
To move this family forward as you did
And I didn't help you, didn't consider you
Didn't realize everything that was happening
And I didn't hug you, didn't kiss you
I don't know what my head was thinking at that moment
But I regret the things I've done to you
I promise in this life to always walk straight
I thank you for not letting go of my hand
I thank you for my being, my siblings
I'm not ashamed to tell you that I love you
And even less to express what I always had hidden
I'm proud and feel accompanied
These lyrics make my eyes misty
A hug from you is my best gift
After a few years, I finally understood
That you gave me everything you never had
