Lyrics & English Translation
Without your mother, o my baby,
you die!
Your lips, without my kisses,
grow pale and cold!
And close, o baby,
your pretty eyes.
I cannot caress you,
your little hands composed in a cross!
And you are dead
without knowing how loved you were
by your mother!
Now you are an angel in heaven,
now you can see your mother,
you can descend from heaven
and let your essence linger around me.
Are you here, feel my kisses and caresses.
Ah!
tell me, when will I see you in heaven?
When will I be able to kiss you?
Oh!
Oh sweet end to all my sorrows,
when I greet you in heaven.
When will I greet death?
Tell you mother, beautiful creature,
with a sparkle of the stars.
Speak to me, my loved one!
Please Enjoy
I send my kind and warm regards,
