Foi Deus Quem me Deu

Today I know what you went through
I know how many sleepless nights you've had
For me, for us
The feeling of holding me in your arms
All the affection and care
The first cry so unforgettable
Taking care of someone so fragile and sensitive

Mother, so much sacrifice for loving me
Mother, I know that this love
Cannot be compared
I want to be at least
Half for my children
Of what you are to me
Mother, I describe you with endless love

Your first kiss, every step of mine
My first 'I love you' was yours
With me, love grew
I love you more than myself
Mother, it was God who gave me you

You are everything to me
You are the flower of my garden
You are my dear mother
For all my life I promise to honor you
