Mãe

I'm so much of a boy next to you
I still keep everything you taught me
When you caressed my hair
I still carry in my heart sweet words you said

With my father you fought and persisted
With so much love for us you dedicated
Without resources or riches
It was in work and struggle that you raised us all

Today I'm no longer a child
But I have hope that one day I can
Repay you
I'm following my path
With my boyish ways
I will speak of God's love

Mom, I want so much to hug you
Your embrace shelters me
Mom, no one will ever take
Your place in my life
I will love you for all my life!

I will love you for all my life!
