Zamba a Mi Madre
El Negro Palma
Zamba to My Mother
I thank God
For having my mother alive
She is so noble and so good
And above all a friend
I sing to my dear mother
With a thousand love and tenderness
For being the light of my soul
That brightens my dark nights
The affection I feel for you
I wanted to write it one afternoon
From the soul of a noble singer
The zamba to my mother was born
I feel her hand on my face
And I see in her eyes the affection
They caress me sweetly
Like caressing a child
That's why I ask God
I hope He hears my pleas
Instead of taking my old lady
Take me first
The affection I feel for you
I wanted to write it one afternoon
From the soul of a noble singer
The zamba to my mother was born
