Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

PARA TI, MADRE
Si supieras mi madre cuanto sufro
Desde el dia que te fuiste de mi lado
Al saber que te ibas ya del mundo
Como un niño llore por ti

Tu recuerdo lo llevo para siempre
El tesoro preciado de mi vida

En tu altar rezare eternamente
Mi oracion por tu eterna paz...

Ay ...mama cuanto te llore
Ay ...mama tan solo quede
Vivo yo esta soledad sin ti mama ...

Cuantas veces asi al recordarte
Te senti nuevamente regresar
En mis brazos feliz al estrecharte
Senti el beso en mi frente rozar

Es tan triste y cruel mi desconsuelo
Al notar que fue solo una ilusion
Solo el viento recoge mi desvelo
Y es mi canto de triste sin sabor

Ay ...mama cuanto te llore
Ay ...mama tan solo quede
Vivo yo esta soledad sin ti mama

Mi oracion suplicando voy
Al Señor por tu eterna paz

Si yo se que en tu bendicion
Me alcanzara ...
