Madre Mia

So many years you gave of your life
Raising and taking care of me, my mother
With these words I want to show you
Everything I feel and also explain
That I understand the times you got angry with me
That I understand the times you scolded me
Now I know you did it for my own good
Mother, you never let me go hungry or cold
Because your motherly warmth has always been there for me
And don't think, my old man, that I forget about you
About your efforts to always give me the best
To give me strength when I've been at my worst
Forgive me, mother, if I made you cry
Forgive me for the times I made you angry
There's no woman in this world who can take your place
Because there's only one mother and she can't be replaced

So much you've done for me
When I was a child, I didn't understand
Through the years you've suffered
But nevertheless, I've had your warmth

Always humble, with a good heart
And always as a mother, you were right
I wish I could give you the world, mother
And everything else in it would be secondary
Because the only thing that matters to me
Is you and that my children and family
Are in good health
I remember when I got sick and was very bad
You immediately took me to the hospital
You never let anything happen to me
And if something needed to be done, you did it without hesitation
Now let me give you a hug and a kiss
Because I love you with all my soul and that's why
Forgive me, mother, if I made you cry
Forgive me for the times I made you angry
There's no woman in this world who can take your place
Because there's only one mother and she can't be replaced

So much you've done for me
When I was a child, I didn't understand
Through the years you've suffered
But nevertheless, I've had your warmth

There was no limit to the things you did
For me and my siblings through the nights and days
How did you do it, mother, tell me
All the sacrifice with three children back in Chile
There's no way in this world I can repay you
So much drama even through the years you had to endure
Facing different situations
Mother, like you, there's one in a million
I'm realistic and I know that one day you'll go to heaven
I hope I'm the first
Mother, seeing you underground, I don't even want to think about it
Rest assured, my mother, heaven can wait
It was you who gave me life with so much love
In return, I gave you worries and pain
Believe me, mother, it was never the intention to hurt you
So listen to what I have to tell you
Forgive me, mother, if I made you cry
Forgive me for the times I made you angry
There's no woman in this world who can take your place
Because there's only one mother and she can't be replaced

So much you've done for me
When I was a child, I didn't understand
Through the years you've suffered
But nevertheless, I've had your warmth
