Hi Mother, greetings; Are you doing well?
I'm sorry that you haven't heard from me lately, I'm getting by...

Your body is small and so are your hands, you have some gray hair and have gotten plump
But to me you're bigger than anything else, stronger than anyone else
I want to tell my own kids about this love that supported me

Even though I get impatient when you're near, I get lonely when you're far
That's how you are to me, you cut through any kind of problem and solve it
And you're more patient, strong and tough than anyone else I know
You're always concerned about my health before your own

Cooking, laundry, cleaning, raising a kid and working in what time you had left
You would only search for things in the lowest places
It was so obvious that I didn't understand until I lived on my own for the first time
How amazing you are, how immense; When I think of those things, I can give it my best today too

Your body is small and so are your hands, you have some gray hair and have gotten plump
But to me you're bigger than anything else, stronger than anyone else
I want to tell my own kids about this love that supported me

I'd tell you "Wake me up at 7 AM tomorrow"
And you would wake me up right on time
But I was unreasonable
And half asleep I would say "Shut up!"
This kind of routine repeated itself, and without making a single unpleasant face
You woke me up every day
More warm and accurate than any alarm clock

But one day I played hookey from school, saying "I don't want to go"
In font of me who wouldn't leave the futon, you covered your face with your hands
And cried loudly; That made me sad and I cried too
Back then I played myself, thinking "I did something really stupid"

Your body is small and so are your hands, you have some gray hair and have gotten plump
But to me you're bigger than anything else, stronger than anyone else
I'm grateful for this love that supported me, my Mother

There's nothing as painful in the world as a child going before their parent
So even if it's only for 1 second, I'll make sure that I live longer than you
I'll make sure that I do...

I'm glad that I'm your child, I'm glad that you're my mother
That won't ever change, it will never ever change
Because I'm the living image of you...

Your body is small and so are your hands, you have some gray hair and have gotten plump
But to me you're bigger than anything else, stronger than anyone else
I want to tell my own kids about this love that supported me

Be my mother forever, stay healthy forever
You still have a job to do, the job of accepting my devotion...
