Paroles et traduction Carlos Gardel - Mi Madre Querida

Mi Madre Querida

¡Pobre mi madre querida
Cuántos disgustos le daba!
¡Pobre mi madre querida
Cuántos disgustos le daba!
Cuántas veces escondida
Llorando lo más sentida
En un rincón la encontraba
Cuántas veces escondida
Llorando lo más sentida
En un rincón la encontraba

Y yo mismo al contemplarla
El llanto no reprimía
Y yo mismo al contemplarla
El llanto no reprimía
Luego venía a conformarla
Con un beso al abrazarla
Cuando el perdón le pedía
Luego venía a conformarla
Con un beso al abrazarla
Cuando el perdón le pedía

Si es la madre en este mundo
La única que nos perdona
Si es la madre en este mundo
La única que nos perdona
La única que sin segundo
Y en su corazón profundo
Sabe amar y no abandona
La única que sin segundo
Y en su corazón profundo
Sabe amar y no abandona

Qué mal tratamo' el amor
De nuestra madre querida
Qué mal tratamo' el amor
De nuestra madre querida
Nunca nos guarda rencor
Sabe sufrir con dolor
Y dar por su hijo la vida
Nunca nos guarda rencor
Sabe sufrir con dolor
Y dar por su hijo la vida

Madre, madre, perdoname
Nunca creí tanta pena
Madre, madre, perdoname
Nunca creí tanta pena
El pesar llegó a agobiarme
Vengo a tus plantas a postrarme
Y el pasado me envenena

My Dear Mother

Oh, my dear mother
How many sorrows I caused you!
Oh, my dear mother
How many sorrows I caused you!
How many times I found you
Hidden away, weeping with sorrow
I would find you in a corner
How many times I found you
Hidden away, weeping with sorrow
I would find you in a corner

And I could not hold back my tears
As I watched you
And I could not hold back my tears
As I watched you
Then I would try to comfort you
With a kiss and an embrace
As I asked for your forgiveness
Then I would try to comfort you
With a kiss and an embrace
As I asked for your forgiveness

If there is one thing in this world
It is that a mother is the only one who will forgive us
If there is one thing in this world
It is that a mother is the only one who will forgive us
The only one who without second thought
And in her heart
Knows how to love and never gives up
The only one who without second thought
And in her heart
Knows how to love and never gives up

How badly we treat the love
Of our dear mother
How badly we treat the love
Of our dear mother
She never holds a grudge against us
She knows how to suffer with pain
And give her life for her child
She never holds a grudge against us
She knows how to suffer with pain
And give her life for her child

Mother, mother, forgive me
I never thought I would feel such pain
Mother, mother, forgive me
I never thought I would feel such pain
The weight of my guilt has overwhelmed me
I come to you to beg for your forgiveness
And the past torments me
