Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Madre by Camilo Sesto from Spanish to English.
Hay madre, hay madre
Oh mother, oh mother
Siempre cerca y siempre lejos
Always near and always far
Hay madre, hay madre
Oh mother, oh mother
No te olvido porque, te quiero
I don't forget you because I love you
Te hablo como amigo
I speak to you as a friend
Yo no tengo a quien darle
I have no one to give
El cariño que desde niño
The affection that you gave me
Tú me regalaste
Since I was a child
Me acostumbre tanto a ti
I got so used to you
Que cuando estoy con alguien
That when I'm with someone
Quiero que sea como tu
I want them to be like you
Y como tú no hay nadie
And there's no one like you
Eres mujer de alma grande
You're a woman with a big soul
Mujer hecha de amor
A woman made of love
Eres, eres mujer de mi padre
You are, you are my father's woman
Y como mujer y amiga
And as a woman and friend
La mejor, la mejor
The best, the best
Eres mujer de alma grande
You're a woman with a big soul
Mujer hecha de amor
A woman made of love
Eres, eres mujer de mi padre
You are, you are my father's woman
Y como mujer y amiga
And as a woman and friend
La mejor, la mejor
The best, the best
Y aunque mi vida es joven
And even though my life is young
Alguna vez me siento viejo
Sometimes I feel old
Y en la hoguera de mi sueño
And in the fire of my dream
Yo voy quemando mi tiempo
I'm burning my time
Hay madre, hay madre
Oh mother, oh mother
