Madre [English translation]

Dear mother, dear mother

Dear mother, dear mother

My dear

Dear mother, I remember

Dear mother, your hair like a waterfall

Dear mother, your lips bloody red

Dear mother, your heels announced themselves

Dear mother, hammering could be heard by the hallways

Dear mother, let’s face the facts

Dear mother, the umbilical cord was never cut

I remember knife threats, savage fights

Dear mother, dear mother

I didn’t know what to do

Before your enormous powers

Dear mother, I have inherited your abyss

Dear mother, I forgive you

You were more than enough

Dear mother, dear mother

Dear mother, my dear

Dear mother, there are no words left to say

I learned your language

But I still refuse to speak it

It hurts my soul

All of me hurts

Distance was but my only option, my only option

I feel myself becoming you

Dear mother, how ironic

Dear mother, what joy

I have inherited your thumping abysses

The umbilical cord was never cut

Until I did it

My heavenly mother

You are forever, forever

Dear mother

My beginning and my end
