Minha Mãe, Minha Heroína

I paused for a moment and thought
I cried because she wasn't here
But at this hour, I know she thinks of me
Missing her like I know she must feel
Her handkerchief so wet at the goodbye
And the train that was moving so fast
And still, I heard her voice
Don't forget the one who gave you life

My mom, my heroine
My mom, my divine flower

I thank God so much for having a mom
So many people have one but don’t value her
Others don’t have one and now cry for her love
That’s why I’ll never tire of giving thanks
There are so many mothers crying, neglected
They did so much, so much, and asked for nothing
I thank God so much for having a mom
I love her so much, and without her, I’m nothing

My mom, my heroine
My mom, my divine flower

This is the song I made for you, mom
And in it, I simply want to express my love
Talk about your struggles and sacrifices
Remember your worry when I was feeling down
And your joy when I was feeling happy
Now that time's brush has turned your hair white
When this little head, as pure as your soul
Shows the portrait of a lifetime of love and dedication
I come to speak of happiness and gratitude
And paying you a tribute
I say with all sincerity from the bottom of my heart
