Am I dying, Mama? 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 am going to be waiting for you with a good warm shawl I'm so sick, Mama! A good son sees his poor old mother through her old age He doesn't leave her for a tummy ache! You're not old You're still beautiful I bet you say that to all the girls! There are no girls, Mama I have brought you such shame! No, Luis, only if you did something cruel, or uncaring 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 You like this Valentin, don't you? To him, I'm a silly window dresser That's all I am to everyone but you! Oh, what nonsense! 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
