Adiós A La Mama

They're here, they've arrived
At the call of love
The mother is dying

Everyone finally arrived
From all over the country
From the oldest to the youngest
Everyone around the mother

And even children when playing
At one end of the room
They try hard not to scream
It is a last attention to the mother

Everyone takes turns taking care of her
In caring for her and embracing her
The mother is dying

Saint Mary, Mother of God
Our Lady of Sorrow
Everyone prays to you with fervor
And they sing Ave Maria, Ave Maria

So much memory and so much love
Around the breast
So much sighing, so much pain
Around the breast

The meeting is formed again
And so for the last time
The mother is dying

And as a rite on the occasion
They pass over and over again
The fish-flavored jar
Who drink in moderation

It's weird but there's no sadness
There is great resignation
And while a brother prays
The other sings a song to his mother

And the women have gathered
Around the older sister
The mother is dying

A half-burned candle
Before an image of the Lord
With a blackened rosary
Everyone repeats the prayer
Hail Mary

So much memory and so much love
Around the breast
So much sighing, so much pain
Around the breast
That never, never, never
He will never leave us
