about

The phrase Te Amo means I love you in Spanish. The reason I wrote this song is because I am actually from Colombia (I was born there and raised in America). I am adopted and was able to meet my birth Mother and Brothers last year. The song expresses the feelings I have felt throughout my life towards her and what I felt on the trip. The song doesn’t even come close to the emotions I felt or how wonderful the experience is, but it’s what I got.

lyrics

Let me start out by saying I forgive you
And that I don't want you to regret your descions
It was the best that you had for me at the time
You gave me all you could and the best that you had was goodbye
She said,
I will see you soon my son
If not today then tomorrow in another life
And if that falls through well I’ve got yesterday
And my dreams of where you are today
Dear Mother,
How are you?
What’s life like and what do you do?
You were always just a story to me
Not one that I would ever see
And I can see the untold stories in your eyes
Like you’ve got so much to say
But we have so little time so please don’t waste it
By saying nothing at all
The notebooks flood as the river of words
Flows onto the pages of things that you promised you would one day say to me
I’ve still got that note that you wrote for me
A month after you gave me away
My Spanish might be broken, but my heart is ok
Dear Mother,
How are you?
What’s life like and what do you do?
You were always just a story to me
Not one that I would ever see
And I can see the untold stories in your eyes
Like you’ve got so much to say
But we have so little time so please don’t waste it
By saying nothing at all
My Spanish might be broken, but my heart is ok
My Spanish might be broken, but she knows I am ok
I’m not broken and I feel ok
We finally found each other and were gonna be ok
