Canción a Mi Madre
Angela Leiva
Song to My Mother
I pray your name
In temples of solitude
I feel that inside me
You are always there
Your blood runs through my veins
Filling this heart
Beat by beat I carry you with me
Wherever I go
You, my star, my light
And the pain of my cross
Your immense love like the sea
So close and far, it wets me
With its humid salty memory
And I know you won't come back
And I find solace in knowing
That suffering
Will not find you again
I close my eyes
To see you again
And in my voice the sorrow
Calling you
Sometimes I hope to see you
Peeking in the crowd
That's how I remember you following
My steps of youth
You, my star, my light
And the pain of my cross
Your immense love like the sea
So close and far, it wets me
With its humid salty memory
And I know you won't come back
And I find solace in knowing
That suffering
Will not find you again
Hidden in my soul
Stay for eternity
You will be safe, suffering
Will never reach you again
Your immense love like the sea
So close and far, it wets me
With its humid salty memory
And I know you won't come back
And I find solace in knowing
That suffering
Will not find you again
Knowing that suffering
Will not find her again
