Qué bonita estás ahí en la cocina
How beautiful you are there in the kitchen
Un poco más lenta, con las manos partidas
A little slower, with hands worn out
Cuando me abrazaste, volví a ser tu niña
When you hugged me, I became your little girl again
Y ahora, entre tus brazos, hago del rencor una causa perdida
And now, in your arms, I make resentment a lost cause
A veces gritabas, a veces golpeabas
Sometimes you shouted, sometimes you hit
Pero tú, mamita, estabas tan solita
But you, mommy, were so all alone
Y supiste darme lo que no tenías
And you knew how to give me what you didn't have
Yo te vi llorar porque faltaba el pan pa' mantenernos vivas
I saw you cry because there was no bread to keep us alive
Y hoy que estoy aquí
And today that I'm here
Te vi, te vi, te vi
I saw you, I saw you, I saw you
Tan arrepentida y tan cansada
So regretful and so weary
De llevar tu cruz y en ese herido corazón
Of carrying your cross and in that wounded heart
No me cabe duda que me amabas
I have no doubt that you loved me
Te vi, te vi, tе vi
I saw you, I saw you, I saw you
Y a la vez me vi en tu mirada
And at the same time I saw myself in your gaze
Y abracé esa cruz y este herido corazón
And I embraced that cross and this wounded heart
Hoy quiere decirte que te ama
Today I want to tell you that I love you
Cuando yo vivía dentro de tu panza
When I lived inside your belly
No me conocías y ya me cantabas
You didn't know me and you were already singing to me
Yo aprendí a entenderte todos estos años
I learned to understand you all these years
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
Y hoy que estoy aquí
And today that I'm here
Te vi, te vi, te vi
I saw you, I saw you, I saw you
Tan arrepentida y tan cansada
So regretful and so tired
De llevar tu cruz y en ese herido corazón
Of carrying your cross and in that wounded heart
No me cabe duda que me amabas
I have no doubt that you loved me
Te vi, te vi, te vi
I saw you, I saw you, I saw you
Y a la vez me vi en tu mirada
And at the same time, I saw myself in your eyes
Y abracé esa cruz y este herido corazón
And I embraced that cross and this wounded heart
Hoy quiere decir, hoy quiere decirte
Today wants to say, today wants to say to you
Que te ama
That loves you
