Mi Madresita

Everyone has a mother
None like mine
Who shines like little lights
Keeping me company
If they saw her inside my ranch
Simple as she is
And her little eyes fade
Like the glow of a star

I ask God in prayer
That my mom doesn't die
That she lives inside my ranch
Even if just as a little picture
If someday, dear mother
You go to heaven
Take me with you, beloved mother
Don't leave me, don't leave me
I love you
But her shadow reaches me
Like a divine blessing
She's the guardian angel
Of my wandering life

Shadow of the tree planted
In the sunny courtyard I water
Faithful offspring that translates
The will of my pleas
I ask God in prayer
That my mom doesn't die
That she lives inside my ranch
Even if just as a little picture
