Mãe, Saudades

Mother time passes, but the longing
Only increases
I miss your smell so much
Your smile and your way, it changed everything

Mother, you were so present
Mother, you were our gift
Your smile and your way, it changed everything

Mother, friend, intercessor, companion, and so simple, you taught me to dream
I learned to pray, because I saw you praying
Because I saw you worshiping
With you, I learned to trust
That there is a tomorrow

Oh mother, oh mother
In eternity, I will see you, mother
And forever, and forever
Together happy, mother
No more pain, no more tears

Oh mother
Missing your words
Continue with us, Lord!
Missing that 'it will be okay, my child'
Missing your gaze
Looking at us and admiring us
And always wishing the best of God for us
Oh, what longing!
But we follow the word of the Lord, which says
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away

Mother, friend, intercessor, companion, and so simple, you taught me to dream
I learned to pray, because I saw you praying
Because I saw you worshiping
With you, I learned to trust
That there is a tomorrow

And together, forever, in the paradise that he prepared for us!
See you soon, mother!
