Madrecita María del Carmen [English translation]

I'd like to tell the people

what my soul feels when I think of you:

A love that kiss you in the forehead,

sweet and smiley, happy and joyful.

Mother Maria del Carmen,

in my heart

your love becomes a field song,

and singing I say how much I love you

blessed flower of my life and my illusion.

I carry an altar in my burning chest

to the mother who gave me life.

That good and brave woman,

of immaculate forehead surrounded by bay.

Mother Maria del Carmen

I sing today this beautiful song to you.

With her I bring you my love,

and the same as when I was a child,

in my lips I put my heart.

With dew get filled the flowers

that in the beautiful night drink restlessly.

And my soul is filled with love

when I think of her and I start to sing.

And the copla, like a swallow,

starts to fly.

And reaching to my mother it reclines.

and in her arms of kinks and madonna

is my soul who starts to dream.
