Loading...

[molina (spoken]
am i dying, mama?

[mother (spoken)]
oh, listen to him! a good son doesn’t die before his mother! you are going to see me off, thank you very much. and i’m going to be waiting for you with a good, warm shawl

[molina (spoken)]
i am so sick, mama

[mother (spoken)]
ah, a good son sees his poor old mother through her old age! he doesn’t her for a… tummyache, eh?

[molina (spoken)]
you’re not old. you’re still… beautiful

[mother (spoken)]
uh huh… oh, i bet you say that to all the girls, huh?

[molina (spoken)]
there are no girls, mama. i have brought you such… shame

[mother (spoken)]
oh, no, luis. only if you did something cruel or uncaring

[mother (sung)]
you could never shame me
there, i’ve told you so
many things confuse me
but this i know
let the neighbors gossip
at the mention of your name
you have never brought me shame

i know some mamas have roughnecks who never bring them joy
thank god you’re not that kind of boy

i know that you’re different
i don’t really care
i would never change
a hair

[mother (spoken)]
you like this valentin, don’t you?

[molina (spoken)]
to him, i’m a silly window dresser. that’s all i am to everyone but you

[mother (spoken)]
oh, what nonsense!

[mother (sung)]
some other mamas have children whose secrets hurt them so
but you have no secrets, i already know

and you could never shame me
let me say out loud
i’ve a son
a loving son
who makes me proud
