Esa Madrecita Que Tú Tienes | The Weekly Letra
In honor of mothers everywhere…
If you’ve lost your mother, I send you the biggest hug,
If your mother is still with us, may you cherish every moment with her.
Soleá por Bulerías/Fandangos
Que nunca te llegue a ti a faltar
esa madrecita que tú tienes
porque el día que a ti te falte
una desgracia
tú no vas a tener a donde arrimarte
May you never lose
your dear mother
because the day that you do
what tragedy
you’ll have no place to go
