Una Lágrima de Orgullo

As time goes by, life changes us
I've seen you grow, become a woman
When yesterday you were my little girl

A nostalgia takes over me
Sometimes it hurts
When I imagine you as a grown woman
Running, coming and going

And a tear of pride
Runs down my cheek
Proud to look at the little one
Who used to be my girl

She's a woman now
The years have passed
Those nights when you slept
In mom and dad's arms
She's a woman now
I kneel my voice saying
Looking at the sky, I give thanks
For the joy that allowed me

The pride of seeing you grow
Beloved daughter, being with you
Until this day when from my arm
And before the altar

There's a blessing for you
As you turn 15
My eyes cry, my hands tremble
Because I'm thanking God

My daughter, do you remember when I told you?
Yes, no, you can't have a boyfriend, and so on, haha
It was just a joke, my love
God bless your child's soul
Today as you become a woman

With pride, I kissed you at birth, beloved daughter
May God bless your changing soul
And accompany you on your journey

Today, a woman
Turning 15
My eyes cry, my hands tremble
It's because I'm thanking God
She's a woman now
I kneel my voice, saying
To God in heaven, I give thanks
For the joy that allowed me

She's a woman now
The years have passed
And those nights when you slept
In mom and dad's arms
