Mãe Herói

Mom, these few lines, I’m writing right now
Among them is a detail, I can’t leave out
In life today, it’s about having all I want, time and place
Happiness is mine, but it comes from you, no doubt

I’m not a boy anymore, my face has changed
But you still treat me like I’m the same
You say I’m so handsome and my smile’s like a sweet game
I owe everything in life to the one who brought me to this plane

Mom, every day I admire you even more
Everything I ask for, crying or smiling, you restore
Many moms are generous, but not all are like yours
Dad took good care of me, but you’re the one I adore

Mom, I’ve noticed you’re getting tired
Your face has changed completely, it’s like you’ve retired
Your hair is turning white, looks like it’s been dyed
Time’s transforming you, and I feel so damn uninspired

Mom, you’re my reason to live
You worry about me, try to understand and give
You solve my problems, but don’t let me take the lead
Mom, what will happen to me when you leave?

I have eternal gratitude for you, it’s true
I just don’t know if these words comfort you too
I’m sorry for causing you so much worry and blue
If I’m far away, don’t cry when you hear this tune
