Sigo participando en la iniciativa Jueves Trovero. Soy una persona muy musical, por lo tanto hay canciones que me han marcado en momentos o en etapas determinadas de mi vida.
La canción que hoy te traigo se titula “A song for Mama“, de Boyz II Men. No es que yo tenga una relación muy estrecha con mi madre. De hecho, ambas hemos tenido que hacer un gran trabajo personal -cada una por su lado- para entender un poco más la relación que nos ha unido. Ahora que yo también soy madre, obtengo otra perspectiva. Y eso me ha ayudado a entender y a acercarme un poco más a mi madre.
Es mi madre, la quiero y sí, como dice la canción, quererla es como alimentar mi alma.
“A Song For Mama”
You taught me everything
And everything you’ve given me
I always keep it inside
You’re the driving force in my life, yeah
There isn’t anything
Or anyone I can be
And it just wouldn’t feel right
If I didn’t have you by my side
You were there for me to love and care for me
When skies were grey
Whenever I was down
You were always there to comfort me
And no one else can be what you have been to me
You’ll always be you always will be the girl
In my life for all times
[Chorus: ]
Mama, mama you know I love you
Oh you know I love you
Mama, mama you’re the queen of my heart
Your love is like
Tears from the stars
Mama, I just want you to know
Lovin’ you is like food to my soul
You’re always down for me
Have always been around for me even when I was bad
You showed me right from my wrong
Yes you did
And you took up for me
When everyone was downin’ me
You always did understand
You gave me strength to go on
There was so many times
Looking back when I was so afraid
And then you come to me
And say to me I can face anything
And no one else can do
What you have done for me
You’ll always be
You will always be the girl in my life
