Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Minha Estrela Mãe by Sara Tavares from Portuguese to English.
Eu nasci num dia de águas claras
I was born on a day of clear waters
Com muito azul no céu
With a lot of blue in the sky
O amor deu-me um beijo
Love gave me a kiss
Deu-me uma estrela mãe
Gave me a mother star
Quando eu naci
When I was born
Aprendi com a minha estrela mãe
I learned with my mother star
Na vida só a ser
In life, just to be
O que o amor disser
What love says
O que o coração quer
What the heart wants
Estrela mãe lá do céu onde estás
Mother star, up in the sky where you are
Manda um sorriso teu
Send your smile
Para eu saber de mim
For me to know about myself
Do meu amor por ti, do teu amor por nós
Of my love for you, of your love for us
Desta saudade
Of this longing
Mãe de mim, ora lá no céu
Mother of me, now up in the sky
E se o amor quiser
And if love wills it
Volta só uma vez
Come back just once
Para eu viver saudades
So I can live with longing
