Bye Mama

All teeth, your smile
Frankly contagious
From a paper poster
Stuck on the wall, overflowing with light
Mom

The friends envied
That fake easy smile
They pretend from the screen, unintentionally
The divas like you, mom

And I who always waited for you
To talk to you about my things
Ended up falling asleep
Without you arriving

You flew higher and higher
Almost like comets
Me down here
Missing your presence

Goodbye mom, I'm leaving goodbye
To follow my own rules of the game
As long as there is an atom of path
Ahead I will walk

Goodbye mom, goodbye I'm leaving
With the sky transparent as a roof
As long as I feel my body alive
Without chains I will walk

I understand now
That you didn't have it easy either
To become both father and mother without faltering
So brave you were, mom

And I who needed you
More than a confident mother
To see about sharing
Dreams and doubts

I waited for you and you didn't come
If you came there were people
And don't ask me to stay alone

Goodbye mom, goodbye I'm leaving
To follow my own rules of the game
As long as there is an atom of path
Ahead I will walk

Goodbye mom, goodbye I'm leaving
With the sky transparent as a roof
As long as I feel my body alive
Without chains I will walk

Goodbye mom, goodbye I'm leaving
To follow my own rules of the game
As long as I feel my body alive
Without chains I will walk
