A song just for her

Mom held it all. Your fevers, your bad grades, the day you left, the 11pm phone calls. She prayed for you whether you asked or not. She fed you when there wasn't much. She didn't ask for anything back. A custom song for mom — written as a real corrido about her — is one of the few gifts that says all of that.

Most mothers in Mexican families end up with the same kinds of gifts year after year — flowers, a card, dinner out. A corrido is different. The mother in a corrido isn't the one with the gun and the cause; she's the moral anchor. The one who waited. The one who prayed. The one who taught. The lyrical register is more intimate, less brave, and that's what makes a corrido for mom feel right.

We ask who she is, where she's from, what makes her unique. We write the corrido in Mexican Spanish — octosyllabic, ABCB rhyme, traditional structure — in the style you choose. The full MP3 lands in your inbox within 24 hours. $49.99 one-time, no subscription. 3-day refund if you don't love it. The link is yours forever.

  1. Voy a cantarles, señores
  2. de Marti, de León llegó
  3. hija de pan y de fierro
  4. lista en papelito llevó
  5. A los nueve al mercado
  6. con la lista y su ilusión
  7. regateó los centavos
  8. pa' cuidar hasta el montón
  9. A los veintidós, solita
  10. la línea también cruzaste
  11. tres años en El Paso fue
  12. y a Houston te lanzaste
  13. Veinticuatro en la misma
  14. casa en Houston, corazón
  15. nunca te moviste, Marti, no
  16. por los recuerdos, tu razón
  17. De día, hospital limpias
  18. los fines cuidas chamacos
  19. de noche en restaurante
  20. y a la comadre, caldo
  21. Con seis años me quedé yo
  22. sin apá en nuestro cantón
  23. tú jalaste doble, Amá
  24. y nunca faltó el gasto
  25. En un bufé, la rodilla
  26. se te quebró con el peso
  27. el 'disability' negó
  28. seguiste meses con hueso
  29. Operaron medio año
  30. y no hablaste del dolor
  31. con beso y con cobija
  32. nos tapabas con tu amor
  33. Dos años los ahorraste
  34. pa' mis quince en el salón
  35. con la comadre cosiendo
  36. mi vestido pa' el rincón
  37. En mi graduación, primera
  38. te quedaste hasta atrás
  39. te encargas de las cuentas
  40. dices: de ahí no me bajan
  41. Ese día nos peleamos
  42. llegaste con chocolate
  43. me dijiste: 'ay, qué Martha'
  44. mi mejor amiga, madre
  45. Ya con esta me despido
  46. Día de las Madres
  47. Dios te guarde muchos años
  48. te quiero por siempre, madre

Sample lyrics for a corrido about your mom

Here's how the lyrics for a corrido about your mom might open. The corrido form lives in Mexican Spanish — that's where the rhyme and rhythm work — but the story (her name, where she's from, what she did) is yours.

A mi madre le dedicoestos versos del corazón,la que aguantó todo a pulsosin pedir más que un rincón.Doña [her name] crió a la familiacon manos que se gastaron.

When this lands hardest

Mother's Day (May 10 in Mexico)

In Mexican families Mother's Day is May 10, every year, regardless of weekday. Order a few days ahead and you'll have it before the family dinner.

Milestone birthdays — 50, 60, 70

When the family gathers and looks back. A corrido in her name lands harder than a card or a flower arrangement.

When she becomes a grandmother

A corrido about her transition from mom to abuela — counting the kids she raised and the grandkids she's holding now — lands in a way nothing else does.

Frequently asked questions

Is the corrido in Spanish or English?
Spanish, by default. The corrido form rhymes and works rhythmically in Spanish — that's where it comes from. If you want bilingual or specific English phrases, mention it in the questionnaire.
My mom prefers female vocals — is that an option?
Default vocals are male, which is the corrido tradition. If your mom prefers female vocals, email us before ordering — we can configure that.
How long until I get it?
Within 24 hours of submitting. If it's been more than 24 hours, email support@corridomaker.com.
Can I order this for a mom who has passed?
Yes. The questionnaire has an "in memory of" framing option — mention when she passed, what she left behind, what you want the corrido to honor. The tone shifts more solemn, more focused on legacy. Many of our customers commission corridos for mothers in memoriam.
What information do you need?
Her name, where she was born, where she lives now, what makes her unique, the moment you want the corrido to celebrate. The questionnaire takes 5 minutes.
How much and any catches?
$49.99 USD, one-time. No subscription, no recurring charges. 3-day no-questions refund if you don't love it.
