Madre Querida

Beloved Mother

Madre Querida

Walking paths I learn to love youAndando caminos aprendo a quererte
Maybe more than before.Tal vez mas que antes.
But being far away you have me closer,Pero estando lejos mas cerca me tienes,
I swear to you, mother.Te lo juro madre.
You gave me life, love, and then you gave me wings,Me diste la vida, el amor y luego me pusiste alas,
You showed me the skyMe enseñaste el cielo
But like an angel you watched over my flight.Pero igual que un ángel me cuidaste el vuelo.

Beloved mother, adored motherMadre querida, madre adorada
I become a child again far from homeVuelvo a ser niño lejos de casa
I see myself on the riverbankMe veo en la orilla del río
Mixing sand and water.Mezclando arenita y agua.

Beloved mother, adored mother,Madre querida, madre adorada,
Life goes by, life passesPasa la vida, la vida pasa
And you're in my dreamsY estás en mis sueños
And you're in my lifeY estás en mi vida
And you're in my soul.Y estas en mi alma.

How little importance in my adolescenceQue poca importancia en mi adolescencia
I gave to your advice,Le di a tus consejos,
Listening to you maybe would have spared meOyéndote acaso me hubiera evitado
Some suffering.Algún sufrimiento.
But my joy is being able to have you,Pero mi alegría es poder tenerte,
To talk to you when I come to see you,Conversar contigo cuando voy a verte,
Taste your food, kiss your forehead.Probar tu comida, besarte la frente.

Beloved mother, adored motherMadre querida, madre adorada
I become a child again far from homeVuelvo a ser niño lejos de casa
I see myself on the riverbankMe veo en la orilla del río
Mixing sand and water.Mezclando arenita y agua.

Beloved mother, adored mother,Madre querida, madre adorada,
Life goes by, life passesPasa la vida, la vida pasa
And you're in my dreamsY estás en mis sueños
And you're in my lifeY estás en mi vida
And you're in my soul.Y estas en mi alma.
