Madre

Mother, I hope that upon receiving this letter
You are well, up there where you are
May the Lord watch over you, may you lack nothing
God willing you are happy
As for me, I'll tell you, I wander the world, alone and sad
There's only disillusion, bitterness, and loneliness since the day you left

I write to you because I know it's approaching, your day
Oh! Mother's Day, and once again sadly
I'll light a white rose, close to my heart
Because I know you're absent

That's all for now, receive my blessing
And as always, on Mother's Day
I'll visit your grave, to bring you a bouquet of flowers
To pray the Our Father, which breaks my heart
Mother, mother, I wish to see you again
Mother, mother, I wish to see you again

I would die like Christ, if it meant reaching your side
With a crown of thorns, even to be crucified
Mother, mother, I wish to see you again
Mother, mother, I wish to see you again

Knowing you're absent brings me tears and pain
And I have to vent with the damn liquor, my mother
Mother, mother, I wish to see you again
Mother, mother, I wish to see you again

Children who have mothers, hear her voice that echoes
And if you have her dead, go pray at her tomb

Mother, mother, I wish to see you again
Mother, mother, I wish to see you again
I wish to see you again

You're no longer by my side, my heart
I wish to see you again
In my soul, I only feel loneliness
I wish to see you again

And if I can't see you anymore
I wish to see you again
Why did God make me lose you
I wish to see you again
To make me suffer more
I wish to see you again
It's the story of a love
I wish to see you again
Like no other
