Mother, Mother, Mother, Maria,
What have you done?
You, who desired, received all,
While I, what have I won?
Mother, Mother, Mother, Maria,
What have you done?
You, who desired, received all,
While I, what have I won?
Lost in your charms, I am a captive,
Why am I yours alone, oh Maria?
Mother, Mother, Mother, Maria,
What have you done?
You stole the sleep of my nights,
And made my heart your home.
We dreamed of futures, hand-in-hand,
Life is now hard, without you, oh Maria.
In life's scorching, burning sun,
No shade did I find.
I wandered the world, seeking,
None like you, to bind.
Mother, Mother, Mother, Maria,
What have you done?
You stole me from myself,
And made me a stranger.
When the sun descends, and evening arrives,
Erase this distance, come close, oh Maria.
Mother, Mother, Mother, Maria,
What have you done?
A promise unfulfilled,
Why did you make it mine?
You swore you’d be mine forever,
Making me yours,
Will you be mine, oh Maria?
