Mãe

Mother, you were nine months of waiting
You already loved me without knowing how I was
You prepared the layette for me
Mother, you didn't even feel my affection
But deep inside, all alone
I already loved you and sang like this

I will be born and I will sing and I will live
I will smile and smiling I will thank you
I will say that you are my flower
And sing with affection, joy, and love

Mother, you were my arms for so long
My legs, I was your tiredness
Your lap was a cradle for me
Mother, you only heard one cry
It was my heart as a choir
That loved you and sang like this

I will grow up, I will sing and I will live
I will smile and smiling I will thank you
I will say that you are my flower
And sing with affection, joy, and love

Mother, you were a friend for so long
You listened to me and smiled in fatigue
When life cried for me
Mother, I grew up but I am still your child
'I love you' and I repeat the chorus
That life taught and it's like this

I will overcome, I will sing and I will live
I will smile and smiling I will thank you
I will say that you are my flower
And sing with affection, joy, and love
