Letra del Tango Madre de los cabellos de plata

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 lyrics of the Tango "Madre de los cabellos de plata"

I sing to you thinking that you are far away,
Oh dear mother, so far from me!
The winds carry fragments of the soul
That I, in my songs, send to you.
I wish to see you dressed as a star
I wish 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
In your sublime lap, you made me dream so much.
Mother…
For whom I always sigh
I wouldn’t want to see you far away, nor see your eyes cry.

There’s no love like yours on earth
Oh dear mother, such unparalleled love!
I want to repay you by telling people,
That my life is nothing compared to your kindness.
You placed carnations of fire on my forehead
With kisses that I can never forget,
And in return for that when I sing to you
Your holy name goes along with my song.
