  1. Qué bonita estás ahí en la cocina

    How beautiful you are there in the kitchen

  2. Un poco más lenta, con las manos partidas

    A little slower, with hands worn out

  3. Cuando me abrazaste, volví a ser tu niña

    When you hugged me, I became your little girl again

  4. Y ahora, entre tus brazos, hago del rencor una causa perdida

    And now, in your arms, I make resentment a lost cause

  5. A veces gritabas, a veces golpeabas

    Sometimes you shouted, sometimes you hit

  6. Pero tú, mamita, estabas tan solita

    But you, mommy, were so all alone

  7. Y supiste darme lo que no tenías

    And you knew how to give me what you didn't have

  8. Yo te vi llorar porque faltaba el pan pa' mantenernos vivas

    I saw you cry because there was no bread to keep us alive

  9. Y hoy que estoy aquí

    And today that I'm here

  10. Te vi, te vi, te vi

    I saw you, I saw you, I saw you

  11. Tan arrepentida y tan cansada

    So regretful and so weary

  12. De llevar tu cruz y en ese herido corazón

    Of carrying your cross and in that wounded heart

  13. No me cabe duda que me amabas

    I have no doubt that you loved me

  14. Te vi, te vi, tе vi

    I saw you, I saw you, I saw you

  15. Y a la vez me vi en tu mirada

    And at the same time I saw myself in your gaze

  16. Y abracé esa cruz y este herido corazón

    And I embraced that cross and this wounded heart

  17. Hoy quiere decirte que te ama

    Today I want to tell you that I love you

  18. Cuando yo vivía dentro de tu panza

    When I lived inside your belly

  19. No me conocías y ya me cantabas

    You didn't know me and you were already singing to me

  20. Yo aprendí a entenderte todos estos años

    I learned to understand you all these years

  21. La vida es tan corta que no merecemos hacernos más daño

    Life is so short that we don't deserve to hurt each other more

  22. Y hoy que estoy aquí

    And today that I'm here

  23. Te vi, te vi, te vi

    I saw you, I saw you, I saw you

  24. Tan arrepentida y tan cansada

    So regretful and so tired

  25. De llevar tu cruz y en ese herido corazón

    Of carrying your cross and in that wounded heart

  26. No me cabe duda que me amabas

    I have no doubt that you loved me

  27. Te vi, te vi, te vi

    I saw you, I saw you, I saw you

  28. Y a la vez me vi en tu mirada

    And at the same time, I saw myself in your eyes

  29. Y abracé esa cruz y este herido corazón

    And I embraced that cross and this wounded heart

  30. Hoy quiere decir, hoy quiere decirte

    Today wants to say, today wants to say to you

  31. Que te ama

    That loves you
