Amor de madre [English translation]

December 13th year 1980 at 3:24 a.m.

a white boy who has light brown hair and blue eyes is born,

his mother proudly smiles because of the excitation, at last, after so long.

She used to cry restlessly, the nurse asks her for the reason of her weeping

the father abandonned her when she was 6 months pregnant

he left them, didn't left reason or traces. one morning he went out and never came back

and the mother doesn't forget the day that ungrateful man "let her down".

The boy will be 8 months pretty soon, he looks like his father and already says "mum"

Conflicts begin and the welfare (money) is not sufficient and nobody wants to help

she only cares about understanding that his son needs to eat

she owns two months of rent and her income is not enough for anything

That mother made choices and prostitution allowed her to move on

and that boy never realised what his mother did...

"only because of him" nooooo...

Years passed and the cute boy of his mummy lives like a king

nothing was denied to him... he was spoiled at everything

the boy has become big-headed and vain and he thinks he's the best.

Thanks to her mother's sweat, he has a car of the year and wears only Armani.

He has only one childhood friend and lots of enemies due to his personality.

When you grow up, I want you to become a lawyer

or a big army soldier, don't forget that you don't have a father and that the bride you choose has to love you, I am your mother, your father and your friend. Those were the words of that mum...

CHORUS

This is the story of an insatiable mother

who made a mistake at raising her son,

she didn't listen to advices, she followed her feelings,

and even by selling her body she struggled for her son

Mother's love is an infinite love

that fruit in the womb is god's gift

sometimes we make mistakes

and that poor woman never had any other choice.

December 16th, year 2003, he's not a kid anymore he's already 23.

Mother is crying, his son has changed, has bad friends.

he's into drugs, he was given advices but as well,

he never listened to her mother...

One day police officers knocked at the door looking for a murderer with his profile

mother couldn't believe it and while crying she said my son hasn't killed anybody

and the crying mother screamed with sorrow and among tears "be merciful, my god!"

she didn't give a damn about the proofs, her son was innocent in her heart

while the son suffered in jail, even more suffered his mother

and she died...

and now the son analyses how good was his mother, that he never appreciated her

he blames it all on himself

and the memories are like a punishment from God

(repeat chorus)
