Para Mamá

I assure you this will passYo te aseguro que pasará
this heavy cloudesta nube cerrada
that keeps you from thinking of anything elseque no te deja pensar en nada mas
the blows were hardlos golpes fueron fuertes
and your emotionsy tu emocion
are eager to rise up and touch the sunansían levantarse y tocar el sol
I assure you there will be joyyo te aseguro que alegría habrá
yes, sirsí, señor

When you can't hear anythingCuando no escuchas nada
you tend to stumbletiendes a dar tropiezos
more than you wouldy mas de los que darías
thinking too muchpensando a full
about what happeneden lo que sucedio
nothing escapes their sightnada escapa a su vision

There are stones that will always make us fallHay piedras que siempre nos harán caer
if you weigh the risksi evaluas el riesgo
of mistakes, you'll always learnde los errores siempre vas aprender
life isn't safela vida no es segura
death isla muerte sí
we fool ourselves thinking we’ll never dienos engañamos queriendo nunca morir
I assure you this will passyo te aseguro que esto ya pasará
yes, sirsí, señor

When you can't hear anythingCuando no escuchas nada
you tend to stumbletiendes a dar tropiezos
more than you wouldy mas de los que darías
thinking too muchpensando a full
about what happeneden lo que sucedio
nothing escapes their sightnada escapa a su visión

Walk barefoot and energizeCamina descalza y a energizar
the steps you need to start takinglos pasos que tienes que comenzar a dar

And you see meY me ves
creating every timecreando cada vez
when their memory callscuando su recuerdo llama
it shakes my coresacude mi interior
Their simplicity lit up thoseSu sencillez iluminaba a quien
who were far from their voicelejos de su voz estaba
thinking of my musicpensando en mi música
