My Mother

Madre Mia

So many years you gave of your lifeSon tantos años que entregaste de tu vida
Raising and taking care of me, my motherCriando y cuidando de mi, madre mia
With these words I want to show youCon estas palabras quiero demostrarte
Everything I feel and also explainTodo lo que siento y también explicarte
That I understand the times you got angry with meQue entiendo las veces que conmigo te enojaste
That I understand the times you scolded meQue entiendo las veces que me regañaste
Now I know you did it for my own goodAhora se que lo hacias por el bien mio
Mother, you never let me go hungry or coldMadre nunca me dejaste pasar hambre ni frio
Because your motherly warmth has always been there for mePorque tu calor de madre siempre ha estado ahí para mi
And don't think, my old man, that I forget about youY no creas viejo mio que me olvido de ti
About your efforts to always give me the bestDe tus esfuerzos de darme siempre lo mejor
To give me strength when I've been at my worstDe darme fuerza cuando he estado de lo peor
Forgive me, mother, if I made you cryPerdoname madre si te hize llorar
Forgive me for the times I made you angryPerdoname las veces que te hize rabiar
There's no woman in this world who can take your placeNo hay mujer en este mundo que ocupe tu lugar
Because there's only one mother and she can't be replacedPorque madre hay una sola y no se puede remplazar

So much you've done for meTanto que has hecho por mi
When I was a child, I didn't understandCuando niño no comprendi
Through the years you've sufferedTras los anos que has sufrido
But nevertheless, I've had your warmthPero sin embargo he tenido tu calor

Always humble, with a good heartSiempre humilde, de buen corazón
And always as a mother, you were rightY siempre como madre tenias la razón
I wish I could give you the world, motherQuisiera darte el mundo madre si pudiera
And everything else in it would be secondaryY todo lo que hay en el del resto fuera
Because the only thing that matters to mePorque lo que unico que importa para mi
Is you and that my children and familyEres tu y que mis hijos y familia
Are in good healthEsten bien de salud
I remember when I got sick and was very badRecuerdo cuando me enfermaba y estaba muy mal
You immediately took me to the hospitalCorrias de inmediato conmigo al hospital
You never let anything happen to meTu nunca dejaste que algo me pasara
And if something needed to be done, you did it without hesitationY si algo habia que hacer lo hacias por la cara
Now let me give you a hug and a kissAhora deja darte un abrazo y un beso
Because I love you with all my soul and that's whyPorque te quiero con toda mi alma y por eso
Forgive me, mother, if I made you cryPerdoname madre si te hize llorar
Forgive me for the times I made you angryPerdoname las veces que te hize rabiar
There's no woman in this world who can take your placeNo hay mujer en este mundo que ocupe tu lugar
Because there's only one mother and she can't be replacedPorque madre hay una sola y no se puede remplazar

So much you've done for meTanto que has hecho por mi
When I was a child, I didn't understandCuando niño no comprendi
Through the years you've sufferedTras los anos que has sufrido
But nevertheless, I've had your warmthPero sin embargo he tenido tu calor

There was no limit to the things you didNo habia limite en las cosas que tu hacias
For me and my siblings through the nights and daysPor mi y mis hermanos tras las noches y los dias
How did you do it, mother, tell meComo lo hiciste madre dime
All the sacrifice with three children back in ChileTodo el sacrificio con tres hijos vuelta en Chile
There's no way in this world I can repay youNo hay forma en este mundo como te pueda pagar
So much drama even through the years you had to endureTanto drama hasta los años que tuviste que pasar
Facing different situationsEnfrentando diferentes situaciones
Mother, like you, there's one in a millionMadre como tu hay una en millones
I'm realistic and I know that one day you'll go to heavenSoy realista y se que algun dia te me vas al cielo
I hope I'm the firstOjalas sea yo el primero
Mother, seeing you underground, I don't even want to think about itMadre verte bajo tierra no lo quiero ni pensar
Rest assured, my mother, heaven can waitTranquila madre mia el cielo puede esperar
It was you who gave me life with so much loveFuiste tu la que me dio la vida con mucho amor
In return, I gave you worries and painEn cambio yo te di preocupaciones y dolor
Believe me, mother, it was never the intention to hurt youCree madre nunca fue la intencion de herirte
So listen to what I have to tell youPor eso escucha lo que tengo que decirte
