Lyrics of Recuerdo a Mi Madre - Ramón Ayala

Recuerdo a Mi Madre (original)

Toma esta medalla de oro
Que con tanto amor cuide
El recuerdo de mi madre
Cuidala, cuidala bien
No es gran cosa, yo comprendo
Pero es mucho para mi;
Es medalla de mi madre
Que con tanto sacrificio
Siendo joven la compro
Al morir dijo mi madre
«Llevala siempre contigo
Como si ella fuera yo.»
Hoy que es dia de tu santo
Te la quiero regalar
Porque eres lo que mas quiero
Y tu me quieres igual
Llevala siempre contigo
Tambien la puedes usar;
Al morir dijo mi madre
«Se la daras a tu esposa
Si te llegas a casar.»
Toma esta medalla de oro
El recuerdo de mi madre
Quiera Dios descanse en paz

(translation)

Take this gold medal
That with so much love take care
The memory of my mother
take care of her, take good care of her
It's not a big deal, I understand
But it is a lot for me;
It's my mother's medal
that with so much sacrifice
Being young I bought it
When dying my mother said
"Always carry it with you
As if she were me."
Today is the day of your saint
I want to give it to you
Because you are what I want most
And you love me the same
always take it with you
You can also use it;
When dying my mother said
"You will give it to your wife
If you get married.”
Take this gold medal
The memory of my mother
May God rest in peace
