Lyrics
Te canto pensando que tú estás muy lejos, ¡Ay madre del alma, muy lejos de mí! Los vientos se llevan jirones del alma Que yo en mis canciones, mando para ti. Quisiera tenerte vestida de estrella Quisiera a mi lado sentir tu calor, Y en la maravilla de tus ojos claros Ver los ojos míos, rebozando amor. Madre... De los cabellos de plata Que en tu regazo sublime tanto me hiciste soñar. Madre... Por la que siempre suspiro No quisiera verte lejos, ni ver tus ojos llorar. Amor como el tuyo no encuentro en la tierra ¡Ay madre del alma, qué amor sin igual! Yo quiero pagarte diciendo a la gente, Que mi vida es poco para tu bondad. Pusiste en mi frente claveles de fuego Con besos que nunca podré yo olvidar, Y a cambio de aquello cuando yo te canto Va tu santo nombre junto a mi cantar.
English translation
I sing to you thinking that you are far away, Oh mother of my soul, far away from me! The winds carry away shreds of the soul That I, in my songs, send for you. I would like to have you dressed as a star I would like to feel your warmth by my side, And in the wonder of your clear eyes To see my eyes, brimming with love. Mother... Of the silver hair That in your sublime lap you made me dream so much. Mother... For whom I always sigh I would not like to see you far away, nor see your eyes cry. Love like yours I cannot find on earth Oh mother of my soul, what a love without equal! I want to repay you by telling people That my life is little for your goodness. You placed on my forehead carnations of fire With kisses that I can never forget, And in return for that when I sing to you Your holy name goes with my singing.
