My mother
My sweet and lovely mother
had i come from another womb
my decision would be suicide
then i would end up in a tomb
thank God i came into the world
through your womb
there is no cause for suicide
you are the perfect mother
any child would love to have
My mother
you are a precious diamond
i'm proud to have
in my heart
you are cherished
more than gold
My mother
you are the light
of my heart
i wll pronounce your name
when i draw my last breath
