Country Mother
Your white hair that time covered
With the silver born of love for your children
Missing the old man who left early
You stayed alone, followed your path
If raised children, doubled work
Make you tired, love did not tire
I often see you with wet eyes
Looking at this man who once cradled
Rest, old mother, sit by my side
The mate is hot and your heart
Are burning embers, let's be silent
Enjoy this peace, safe in your hands
If I grow up and forget to speak
It's because life has made me so quiet
But when I see my boys in the cradle
Your great affections warm my chest
And this son of yours who grew up in your bosom
Knows love, the world, and the street
And has become a father, knowing how to love his own
And now falls asleep in your lap
Rest, old mother, sit by my side
The mate is hot and your heart
Are burning embers, let's be silent
Enjoy this peace, safe in your hands
