Madre Querida
Sergio Galleguillo
Beloved Mother
Walking paths I learn to love you
Maybe more than before.
But being far away you have me closer,
I swear to you, mother.
You gave me life, love, and then you gave me wings,
You showed me the sky
But like an angel you watched over my flight.
Beloved mother, adored mother
I become a child again far from home
I see myself on the riverbank
Mixing sand and water.
Beloved mother, adored mother,
Life goes by, life passes
And you're in my dreams
And you're in my life
And you're in my soul.
How little importance in my adolescence
I gave to your advice,
Listening to you maybe would have spared me
Some suffering.
But my joy is being able to have you,
To talk to you when I come to see you,
Taste your food, kiss your forehead.
Beloved mother, adored mother
I become a child again far from home
I see myself on the riverbank
Mixing sand and water.
Beloved mother, adored mother,
Life goes by, life passes
And you're in my dreams
And you're in my life
And you're in my soul.
Beloved mother, adored mother,
Beloved mother...
