Madre [English translation]

Mother…

I hope that when you receive this letter

you’ll feel good

up there where you are,

that the Lord watches well over you,

that you don’t need anything,

God wants you to be happy.

I tell you from my heart,

that I wander through the world

alone and sad.

There is only disappointment,

bitterness and loneliness

since the day you’ve been gone.

I write to you, because I know

that your day

is coming, oh, Mother’s Day.

And once again with sadness

I will cuddle a white rose

close to my heart,

because I know that you’re not here.

That’s all for now,

take my blessing

and, as always

at Mother’s Day,

I will go to your grave,

to bring you a bouquet of flowers,

to pray for you to Our Father,

because my heart breaks.

Mother, mother…

I would like to see you once again...

I would die like Jesus Christ

if I could come this way to you

with a crown of thorns

to be crucified.

Mother, mother…

I would like to see you once again...

Because you’re not here anymore

I’m filled with tears and pain.

And I have to relive my sorrows

with the damn liquor, my mother.

Mother, mother…

I would like to see you once again...

Sons, who have a mother,

listen to her voice as long as you can still hear it

and if she’s already dead

go to her grave and pray.

Mother, mother…

I would like to see you once again...

You’re not with me anymore, my dearest.

In my heart there’s only loneliness.

I would like to see you once again...

And if I can no longer see you

why God has taken you away from me

and made me suffer so much?

It’s the story of a love

like no other one.
