MAMÁ
NATHY PELUSO
MOM
When I grow up I want to be
As pretty as you, so brilliant
I have always been in a hurry to grow up
I'm sorry if I've been arrogant
You have teeth like stolen pearls
From some hidden place in the sea
Those green eyes, diamond sapphire
I see everything you have to give
Your hair smells like cut grass
firefly of darkness
Because I know that you will be by my side
I'm not afraid of loneliness
If I'm ever wrong, mom
I promise to try again
One more time
(I promise you)
You started collecting
Photos that tell me so many stories
It looks like you can freeze
Tiny parts of my memory (tiny parts of me)
You have teeth like stolen pearls
From some hidden place in the sea
Those green eyes, diamond sapphire
I see everything you have to give
Your hair smells like cut grass
firefly of darkness
Because I know that you will be by my side
I'm not afraid of loneliness
If I'm ever wrong, mom
I promise to try again
Once again, mom-mom, ah-ah
One more time
Ah-ah, ah-ah
