Anaïs Tekerian - My Child Lyrics

One day my child said sweetly, I love you more than you love me
I turned to her in disbelief; she looked at me expectantly
No, no, my little earth, my love's too vast to measure
No, no, my universe, my love goes on forever
When you were born, the world began, love filled me
When you were born, the world began, fear found me

My child, you took my happiness, to lock within your little frame
It wanders under heedless stars, untethered, unsafe, and untamed
But the day you came to me, when you took that first journey
When they placed you on my breast, I felt that home had come to me
Home's where the heart is, but home's wherever you are
My heart just widens, to hold you even from afar

Siempre te amaré. Nunca te dejaré

And so I hope to never be, without the love you give to me
But one day I will be the one, to leave you here without me
But I hope to guide you first across that second border
Into your own motherhood, where love's the highest order
I'll guide you safely, until you feel you're on your land
I'll take you to the place where love's the soil on which you stand
Home's where the heart is, but home's wherever you are
My heart just widens, to hold you even from afar
