Madre

I wish I could be born again
To tell my Mother
Mommy, how much I love you
And so many things from my childhood
I hear your voice, now faded
And so tired from the years
I see in your gentle gaze
The light of my hopes
All the time waiting
Every night thinking
Where will you be, my child?
You’re leaving, life slipping away
I pray to God, crying
That my mom doesn’t die
Keep her always with me
Like a necklace on my chest
Mother
If one day you take that journey with no return
Don’t leave me
Take me with you, Mom
I wish I could be born again
To tell my Mother
Mommy, how much I love you
And so many things from my childhood
I hear your voice, now faded
And tired from the years
I see in your gentle gaze
The light of my hopes
I wish I could erase the traces
Of the lines on your forehead
Not even a thousand kisses
Could ever make it go away
I pray to God, crying
That my mom doesn’t die
Keep her always with me
Like a necklace on my chest
You are the sweetest mother
You laugh even in sadness
You cry even in joy
You are the prettiest mother
You cry even in joy
You are the prettiest mother
You are the sweetest mother
You laugh even in sadness
You cry even in joy
You are the prettiest mother
You cry even in joy
You are the prettiest mother
