Madre Soltera
Arelys Henao
Lyrics
Translation
Hoy me dicen mujer fracasada
Today they call me a failed woman
Porque tuve un hijo soltera
Because I had a child out of wedlock
Madre es una soltera o casada
Whether a mother is single or married
Mientras padre puede ser cualquiera
While a father could be anyone
Es mi hijo y que no sufra nadie
He is my child, and let no one harm him
Si su padre fue un desconocido
If his father was a stranger
Yo sabré responder como madre
I will know how to answer as a mother
Y le basta con un apellido
And one surname is enough for him
No hay que ir a la iglesia de blanco
No need to go to church in white
Para obtener el don de ser madre
To receive the gift of being a mother
Ni acudir al altar evitando
Nor rush to the altar, avoiding
Que la actual sociedad te señale
That today's society points fingers at you
No va hacer diferente mi hijo
My child won't be any different
Por no haber conocido a su padre
For not having known his father
El tendrá suficiente conmigo
He will have enough with me
Yo le sirvo de padre y de madre
I serve as both father and mother
No critiquen las madres solteras
Don't criticize single mothers
Más bien juzguen aquellos cobardes
Instead, judge those cowards
Que son machos para hacer promesas
Who are brave to make promises
Pero débiles para ser padres
But weak when it comes to being fathers
Hoy me dicen mujer fracasada
Today they call me a failed woman
Porque tuve un hijo soltera
Because I had a child out of wedlock
Madre es una soltera o casada
Whether a mother is single or married
Mientras padre puede ser cualquiera
While a father could be anyone
No hay que ir a la iglesia de blanco
No need to go to church in white
Para obtener el don de ser madre
To receive the gift of being a mother
Ni acudir al altar evitando
Nor rush to the altar, avoiding
Que la actual sociedad te señale
That today's society points fingers at you
No va hacer diferente mi hijo
My child won't be any different
Por no haber conocido a su padre
For not having known his father
El tendrá suficiente conmigo
He will have enough with me
Yo le sirvo de padre y de madre
I serve as both father and mother
