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, holy and good mother,
Who alleviated my sorrows and my pains
Who encouraged me in my hours of affliction.

Beloved mother watching 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, dear old soul of mine,
Engraved you are 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 were my destiny,
The north on my path,
Guide of my love…
To you, my mother,
How much further I feel you,
For you, I implore the Lord!
