This is a song that has always reminded me of my mom, I translated it in English so people can understand the feeling.
It's called Senora Corazon, by Johnny Laboriel, who my older brothers went to school with at the sacred family church in colonia roma , in front of the rio de Janeiro park, one of my favorite parks in CDMX, my mom and I used to go there all the time with a handful of pastries from Sabino’s. Sabino was an apprentice of my mom’s while he was a teen in the French restaurant where my mom was the chef.
Dear Mom:
SENORA CORAZON.
Everything was so sad.
Sad as the color of silence
That i felt that life struck
my faith and my being.
it did not matter to die or to live.
without a reason
it did not matter.
be someone else or myself.
and then you came along
like a dove at dawn
with open wings
harvesting smiles
you taught me how to love me
with your science of dreaming
you taught me how to be someone
someone that loves
thank you
for being the friend of my dreams
My partner in crime
the owner of my love
forever in my heart
senora Corazon
thank you
for awakening my happiness
for teaching me how to love life
senora Corazon.
gracias ...............
My mom died on January 26th.
