Letra del Vals Una lagrima (2)

Madre de mi alma, hoy te ofrezco este tributo,

Por qué te fuiste, madrecita santa y buena,

Quien mitigaba mis pesares y mis penas

Quien me alentaba en mis horas de aflicción.



Madre adorada que me miras desde el cielo

No me abandones, que es muy triste mi destino,

Quiero tan sólo que ilumines mi camino

Porque hay angustia en mi pobre corazón.



Es eterno mi recuerdo

Por ti, viejita de mi alma,

Grabada estás en mi mente

Si sos de mi alma, la calma…

Hoy te pido

Que desde el cielo,

Ruegues por mi salvación.



¡Madre de mi alma!

Tú que eras mi sino,

Eras el norte en mi camino

Guía de mi amor…

A ti madre mía

Cuánto más lejos te siento,

¡Por ti, imploro al Señor!

English lyrics of the Vals "Una lagrima (2)"

Mother of my soul, today I offer you this tribute,
Why did you leave, my holy and good mother,
Who eased my sorrows and my pains
Who encouraged me in my hours of affliction.

Beloved mother who watches me from heaven
Do not abandon me, for my fate is very sad,
I only want you to light my path
Because there is anguish in my poor heart.

My memory of you is eternal
For you, old lady of my soul,
You are etched in my mind
If you are the calm of my soul…
Today I ask you
From heaven,
Pray for my salvation.

Mother of my soul!
You who were my destiny,
You were the north on my path,
Guide of my love…
To you, my mother,
The further away I feel you,
For you, I implore the Lord!
