Moms! Moms! Moms! How many pains does love give you.
Yesterday, today, always, for you mothers there is no mercy.
Every child of yours, when a man will be,
towards its own destiny, without you it will go!
All the mothers of the world are beautiful
when a child cling to the heart.
They are the beauties of a profound good
made of dreams, sacrifices and love.
That woman's face is so beautiful
who watches a child and has no rest;
looks like the image of a Madonna,
it looks like the image of goodness.
And the years go by, the children grow up,
mothers whiten; but their beauty will not fade

One day you will tell me
That a man left you and you don't know
More like breathing
To continue living
I will tell you that a man
It can also be wrong you know
You can be wrong you know
But what if it was true love
It was better to live it anyway
But you won't listen to me
I already know that you will not understand me
And you won't believe me
Crying you
You will hold me
