Te Vi

How beautiful you are, there in the kitchen
A little slower, with your hands broken
When you hugged me, I became your little girl again
And now in your arms, I make resentment a lost cause
Sometimes you shouted, sometimes you hit
But you, mommy, were so lonely
And you knew how to give me what you didn't have
I saw you cry because there was no bread to keep us alive

And now that I'm here
I saw you, I saw you, I saw you
So repentant and so tired
Of carrying your cross and in that wounded heart
I have no doubt that you loved me

I saw you, I saw you, I saw you
And at the same time I saw myself in your eyes
And I embraced that cross and this wounded heart
Today I want to tell you that I love you
When I lived inside your belly
You didn't know me and you were already singing to me
I learned to understand you all these years
Life is so short that we don't deserve to hurt each other more

And now that I'm here
I saw you, I saw you, I saw you
So repentant and so tired
Of carrying your cross and in that wounded heart
I have no doubt that you loved me

I saw you, I saw you, I saw you
And at the same time I saw myself in your eyes
And I embraced that cross and this wounded heart
Today wants to say, today wants to tell you that it loves you
