Mi Madre

from Talk to a Human by Terri Hendrix

about

The relationship between mother and daughter is a complicated one. The humor within my lyrics covers the wounds, but if you peak under the surface, you'll see the effects alcoholism and abuse can have on a person.

lyrics

Mi Madre

When I was a kid my hair couldn't be tamed
I had double A’s that wouldn't be trained
One went east the other west
I had to lift my arms just to see my chest
I knew all the names of the supermodels
By the time that I turned 13
I wanted to be skinny
But curvy like the girls
In my mother’s Glamour Magazines

Ai yi yi yi yi erra justo como mi madre
Ai yi yi yi erra justo como mi madre


Eggs and chorizo fryin’ in a pan
Poppin’ like the belt
In my mi madre’s hand
My house my rules is what she said
I moved out but she stayed in my head
Good enough – ain’t ever gonna be it
Pretty enough – ain’t ever gonna see it
Looking in the mirror who do I see
Mi Madre cantando estoy aqui para ti
(My mother singing I’m here for you)

Ai yi yi yi yi erra justo como mi madre
Ai yi yi yi erra justo como mi madre (Intro X 4)

Justo como mi madre (Just like my mother)
Escondo botellas de vino (I hide wine bottles)

Justo como mi madre (Just like my mother)
Yo bebo demasiado (I drink too much)

Justo como mi madre (Just like my mother)
Siempre a dieta (I’m always on a diet)

Poco
Loco
En la cabeza (A little crazy in the head)

Justo como mi madre (Just like my mother)
Mi fuerza (my strength)
Mi esperanza (my hope)

Justo como mi madre (Just like my mother)
En corazon y alma (my heart my soul)

Justo como mi madre (Just like my mother)
Bueno y lo malo (the good and bad)
Justo como mi madre
Mucho mucho mucho

Ai yi yi yi yi erra justo como mi madre
Ai yi yi yi erra justo como mi madre
Ai yi yi yi yi erra justo como mi madre
Ai yi yi yi erra justo como mi madre

Amo a mi madre (I love my mom)
Quero a mi madre (I want my mother)

Como mi madre
Suckin on my tic tacs
Vino en aliento (wine on breath)
Like dust on the knic-knacks
Como mi madre
Aqui para ti
Enough about you
Let’s talk about me

Estare
Erra justo como mi madre
Estare
Erra justo como mi madre
