Letra del Vals Ranchero Los versos para mi madre

Mi madre es un poema
De blanca cabellera,
Que tiene a flor de labios
El gesto de perdón.
Cuando tras larga ausencia,
Me abraza como a un niño
Me besa con pasión.

Mi madre es pequeñita
Igual que una violeta,
La luz está en su alma
El llanto en el adiós.
Su sueño, el de mi sueño
Aunque yo soy poeta,
Los veros a mi madre
Me los inspira Dios.

Qué linda que es mi madre
Qué suerte tenerla,
Y qué dichoso al verla
Feliz en el hogar.

Recitado:
Radiante de alegría
Al lado de los hijos,
Cuidando sus nietitos
Qué santa que es mi madre,
Bendícela… bendícela Señor.

Mi madre es una rosa
De pétalos atados,
Que huelo su perfume
Muy junto al corazón.
Divino nuestra angustia
No sé lo que ha llorado,
Por eso al mencionarla
Me embargo de emoción.

Mi madre es como un cromo
De mágicas maletas,
Canción que nos ayuda
De todo hay en su voz.
Su sueño, el de mi sueño
Aunque yo soy poeta,
Los versos de mi madre
Me los inspira Dios.

English lyrics of the Vals Ranchero "Los versos para mi madre"

My mother is a poem
With locks of silvery hair,
Her lips solemnly poised
With a forgiving air.
When after long absences,
She hugs me like a child,
She kisses me with passion.

My mother is tiny
Just like a violet,
Light resides in her soul,
Tears at every farewell.
Her dreams, like my dreams
Though I am a poet,
Verses for my mother
Are inspired by God.

How beautiful is my mother
How lucky I am to have her,
And how blessed to see her
Happy in our home.

Recited:
Radiant with joy
Beside her children,
Caring for her grandchildren
How saintly is my mother,
Bless her… bless her, Lord.

My mother is a rose
Its petals tightly closed,
I smell its scent
Close to my heart.
Divine, her anguish
I know not how much she’s cried,
That’s why when I speak of her
I am choked with emotion.

My mother is like a chromo
Of magical suitcases,
A song that helps us,
Her voice has everything.
Her dream, the same as my dream
Though I am a poet,
The verses about my mother
Are inspired by God.
