Lyrics

Español

El llanto derramado por tus ojos, por amor Tiene un sublime encanto, misterioso de dolor, Tenerme en tu razón, con tierno frenesí Y llena de emoción, ¡Oh, madre!, en mi vivir. Muy tarde he comprendido el pesar que te causé Y mucho has padecido desde el día en que dejé, El cotorrito aquel, donde amar aprendí Y un beso recibí de tu divino ser. Quiero en tu regazo soñar Y a beber la dulce paz de tu amor, Y al borrar mis horas de amargura Quiero hallar la luz, de tu inmortal pasión. Dejame tu frente besar Y al besarte sollozar de placer, Sólo así, conseguiré el recuerdo disipar De aquella, que no supo amar, como yo amé. Las horas que pasaron madre mía volverán Para enlazar dos almas que confiadas vivirán, Con el más puro amor, enfermo del querer Lo sabe el corazón, porque es sagrado y fiel.

English · machine translation

The tears shed by your eyes, out of love Has a sublime charm, mysterious of pain, To hold me in your reason, with tender frenzy... And full of emotion, O mother, in my living. Too late have I understood the grief I caused you And you have suffered much since the day I left, The little parrot, where I learned to love. And a kiss I received from your divine being. I want to dream in your lap And drink the sweet peace of your love, And to erase my hours of bitterness I want to find the light, of your immortal passion. Let me kiss your forehead And in kissing you sob with pleasure, Only in this way, will I be able to dispel the memory Of the one, who did not know how to love, as I loved. The hours that passed my mother will return To link two souls that trusting will live, With the purest love, sick with love The heart knows it, because it is sacred and faithful.
