(This goes out to all of the mothers here in the world.)

(Oooh)

(We love you. Te quiero.)

You know we had to do it for our mama mama.
Tenias que hacerlo por mi mama mama
(Oh)
You know I’m going through it for my momma momma.
Sabes que voy hacerlo por mi mama
(Oh)

Twelve hours on her feet
And she worked like a slave 她工作地像个奴隶
She didn’t make a lot of money 但挣地不多
But the bills got paid
Every day she dealt with pain 每天面对伤害
And I’ve never seen her cry 没见过她哭
And no matter how much it hurt
It was her only way to survive

And I’ll never forget 我不会忘记
(I’mma never, I’mma never forget)
What you’ve done for me 她对我所做的一切
(What you’ve done for me)
And I’ll do my best 我要努力
(And I’ll do my best)
To make you proud of me 让你为我骄傲
(To make you proud of me)

[Chorus]
She said:
Girl I just want you to have 孩子我只想
A better life than me 让你有一个比我更好的生活
She said:
Get a good job 有一份好工作
So you can raise a family 这样才能撑起一个家庭
(That’s right)
She said:
I’m not the kind of people
You look up to
But I don’t think you understand..
I want to be just like you.

(Dm)
Yeah
I remember laying in the bed, ma
I remember everything you said
Putting alcolado on my head
Cantando titinorma
En la sala bailando (Dancing in the room)
Ma you knew it,
That’s why you always played music
My momma used to say:
My little man’s going to do it
She said:
Don’t be a liar 不要骗人
Spit that fire
My ma’s a rider,
She a chance,
A survivor.

I can never figure out
How we made it through
She did it by herself
And had no one to come home to
Still she lived her life
And prayed at night 晚上祈祷
To make it through another day
And even when I saw
The pain in her eyes 即使我看到她眼中的忧伤
She tells me everything’s OK 她仍说，没事

And I’ll never forget
(Never)
What you’ve done for me
And I’ll do my best
(I’mma do my best)
To make you proud of me
(To make you proud of me)

[Chorus]
She said:
Girl I just want you to have
A better life than me
She said:
Get a good job
So you can raise a family
She said:
I’m not the kind of people
You look up to
(Praise you mom)
But I don’t think you understand..
I want to be just like you.

(Oh)
Everything you taught to me
(Oh)
I live by faithfully
(Oh)
You would be so proud to see
(The woman I’ve become)
(Oh)
And I’m going to get back to you
(Oh)
’cause that’s what I want to do
(Oh)
Momma I love you 我爱你，母亲
(Maybe more than enough)
(Oh)

Yeah
Mami me dijo:
(She told me)
Busca el buen camino, mi hijo
(My son)
Dijo:
En tus manos es donde esta tu destino
(The world is in your hands)
Dijo:
Si estas cansado piensa
En lo que sufrimos
Para estar donde estamos
Piensa en lo que vivimos
___ de la tierra
Los pies no dejes que la fama
Success te posees
Tu eres un hijo
De que hables
Entrega siempre tu best
En todo lo que haces
Confia en lo que tu crees
Y ___

(Translate:
Mom told me:
(She told me)
Find the right track, my son

And
She said:

中文翻过来感觉很不同,但是共同点：母亲是伟大的。
