Madre Soltera

Single Mother

Madre Soltera

Today they call me a failed womanHoy me dicen mujer fracasada
Because I had a child as a single motherPorque tuve un hijo soltera
A mother can be single or marriedMadre es una soltera o casada
While a father can be anyoneMientras padre puede ser cualquiera

It's my child and let no one sufferEs mi hijo y que no sufra nadie
If his father was a strangerSi su padre fue un desconocido
I will know how to respond as a motherYo sabré responder como madre
And he is content with a last nameY le basta con un apellido

You don't have to go to the church in whiteNo hay que ir a la iglesia de blanco
To receive the gift of being a motherPara obtener el don de ser madre
Or go to the altar avoidingNi acudir al altar evitando
That the current society points at youQue la actual sociedad te señale

My child won't be differentNo va hacer diferente mi hijo
For not having known his fatherPor no haber conocido a su padre
He will have enough with meEl tendrá suficiente conmigo
I serve as both father and motherYo le sirvo de padre y de madre

Don't criticize single mothersNo critiquen las madres solteras
Rather judge those cowardsMás bien juzguen aquellos cobardes
Who are brave to make promisesQue son machos para hacer promesas
But weak to be fathersPero débiles para ser padres

Today they call me a failed womanHoy me dicen mujer fracasada
Because I had a child as a single motherPorque tuve un hijo soltera
A mother can be single or marriedMadre es una soltera o casada
While a father can be anyoneMientras padre puede ser cualquiera

You don't have to go to the church in whiteNo hay que ir a la iglesia de blanco
To receive the gift of being a motherPara obtener el don de ser madre
Or go to the altar avoidingNi acudir al altar evitando
That the current society points at youQue la actual sociedad te señale

My child won't be differentNo va hacer diferente mi hijo
For not having known his fatherPor no haber conocido a su padre
He will have enough with meEl tendrá suficiente conmigo
I serve as both father and motherYo le sirvo de padre y de madre
