Nana Para Mi Madre
José Luis Perales
Lullaby For My Mother
Mother, I still remember
All the love you gave me
All the love you gave me
Mother, if I ever
Wanted to leave you, forgive me
Wanted to leave you, forgive me
Perhaps, life will change me
And I'll see the years I stole from you when I look back
Perhaps, life will smile at me
And I'll find in some place the things I dreamed of yesterday
Mother, if I go away
Keep my things in a corner
Keep my things in a corner
Mother, if I go away
Plant some flowers on the balcony
Plant some flowers on the balcony
Perhaps, tired of walking
I'll remember there's a place that smells like thyme and honey
Perhaps, I'll despise my freedom
And seek the solitude of the countryside I left behind
Mother, I must go
Someone is waiting for me somewhere
Someone is waiting for me somewhere
Mother, I'll come back
Take my hands and sleep
Take my hands and sleep
