Our Mother

Madre Nuestra

Thank you our motherGracias madre nuestra
For waiting for mePor esperarme
I swear I still rememberJuro que aún recuerdo
Your tears as I leftTus lágrimas al echarme
I was so young and naiveEra tan joven e ingenuo
I knew nothingNada sabía

Not even if my dreams existedNi si existían mis sueños
If I would ever returnSi alguna vez volvería
I hesitated at your doorDude al llegar a tu puerta
Whether it was a mistake or a successSi era un error o un acierto
How good to see you so beautifulQue bueno verte tan linda
And with your eyes openY con los ojos abiertos

I would dare to tell youMe atrevería a decirte
I reached out to hold your handLlegue a agarrarle la mano
I met many peopleConocí muchas personas
Some are my siblingsAlgunos son mis hermanos
I left and the air was tightMe fui y el aire apretaba
I came back to breatheVolví para respirar
They said you were asking for meDijeron que preguntabas por mi

I celebrate having leftFestejo el haberme ido
And that you can hug meY que puedas abrazarme
But for god's sake I ask youPero por dios te lo pido
Not to push me againQue no vuelvas a empujarme
I don't know if you have it clearNo sé si lo tenés claro
I don't know if someone told youNo sé si alguien te lo dijo
I speak of love in my nameHablo de amor en mi nombre
And in the name of all your childrenY en el de todos tus hijos

I left and the air was tightMe fui y el aire apretaba
I came back to breatheVolví para respirar
They said you were askingDijeron que preguntabas
I left and the air was tightMe fui y el aire apretaba
I came back to breatheVolví para respirar
They said you were askingDijeron que preguntabas
You were asking for meQue preguntabas por mi
