Mother [Spanish translation]

[Verse 1] Iwould never let atear fall from your eyes, no,no no Cause everything you are to me, ohh Icould never let you hurt inside You mean so much, and I'm so thankful that you're in my life And I appreciate your love and all your sacrifice Without you by my side, I never could survive Iwouldn't be the woman standin' here before your eyes

[Pre-Chorus] You taught me strength and you gave me guidance Whenever faith was lost, you were there to find it And all because a mother's love is unconditional With all my heart and all my soul, I wanna let you know

[Chorus] That Ithank you, and I love you And I would never place anyone above you Said I thank you, and Ilove you And I will never ever place no one above you

You have given me life, and I just want you to know That you're the reason I'm here today Iwill never let go to everything that we share And nothing can compare Ithank you, I thank you, I thank you, here's what I'm sayin'

[Verse 2] See, I've been blessed to be raised by a woman so strong Cause even when I did things wrong You would show me just the way that I should carry on You kept me safe, and you protected me with all you had And any time Iwas in need you gave your very last Without you by my side, I never could survive Iwouldn't be the woman standing here before your eyes

[Pre Chorus] Ju taught me strength and,ju gave me guidance Whenever faith was lost, ju were there to find it And all because a mother's love is unconditional With all my heart, and all my soul, I wanna let you know
