Mama Lupita
Miguel Aceves Mejía
Mama Lupita
Virgin of Guadalupe
I bring you my sorrows
I come here so you can hear me
Because my homeland is far away
And the wind could carry away
My pleas to the mountains…
Oh…
Sweet mother
In this life
I have nothing left.
I'm so poor, ma'am
That I’m a sight to see
I bring such shame.
You took to your kingdom
The one I adored, my partner
For mercy, for mercy
Take me with you too
Since I’m not even a shadow
Tell me what I’m doing on this earth.
….
Forgive me, Mama Lupita…
