A La Sombra de Mi Madre
Los Charros de Lumaco
In the Shadow of My Mother
Everyone has a mother
None like mine
Who burns like a little light
Keeping me company
They would see her inside my ranch
Simple as she is
And her little eyes dim
Like the glow of a star
I ask God praying
That my mom doesn't die
That she lives inside my ranch
Like a little picture at least
I ask God praying
That my mom doesn't die
That she lives inside my ranch
Like a little picture at least
(If one day, dear mother)
(You go to heaven)
(Take me, beloved mother)
(Do not leave me, for I love you)
But her shadow reaches me
Like a divine blessing
She is the guardian angel
Of my wandering life
Shadow of the tree planted
In the yard, there's only an echo
Faithful offspring that translates
The will of my pleas
I ask God praying
That my mom doesn't die
That she lives inside my ranch
Like a little picture at least
I ask God praying
That my mom doesn't die
That she lives inside my ranch
Like a little picture at least
