A La Sombra de Mi Mamá

In the Shadow of My Mom

A La Sombra de Mi Mamá

Everyone has a motherTodos tienen una madre
None like mineNinguna como la mía
Who shines like a little lightQue arde como lucecita
Keeping me companyHaciéndome companía

They would see her inside my ranchLa vieran dentro mi rancho
Simple as she isSencillita como es ella
And her little eyes fadeY sus ojitos se apagan
Like the glow of a starComo el fulgor de una estrella

I ask God in prayerYo le pido a Dios rezando
That my mom doesn't dieQue mi mamá no se muera
That she lives inside my ranchQue viva dentro mi rancho
Even if just like a little pictureComo estampita siquiera

I ask God in prayerYo le pido a Dios rezando
That my mom doesn't dieQue mi mamá no se muera
That she lives inside my ranchQue viva dentro mi rancho
Even if just like a little pictureComo estampita siquiera

If someday, dear motherSi alguna vez, madrecita
You go to heavenTú te me vas para el cielo
Take me, beloved motherLlevame, madre querida
Don't leave me, don't leave meNo me dejes, no me dejes
I love youYo te quiero

But her shadow reaches mePero su sombra me alcanza
Like a divine blessingComo bendición divina
She's the guardian angelEs el ángel de la guarda
Of my wandering lifeDe mi vida peregrina

Shadow of the tree plantedSombra del árbol plantado
In the sunny courtyardEn el patio solariego
Faithful offspring that translatesRetoño fiel que traduce
The will of my pleasLa voluntad de mis ruegos

I ask God in prayerYo le pido a Dios rezando
That my mom doesn't dieQue mi mamá no se muera
That she lives inside my ranchQue viva dentro mi rancho
Even if just like a little pictureComo estampita siquiera

I ask God in prayerYo le pido a Dios rezando
That my mom doesn't dieQue mi mamá no se muera
That she lives inside my ranchQue viva dentro mi rancho
Even if just like a little pictureComo estampita siquiera
