Hey mama, why did you leave?
You are the soul and life of me
My tears flow in you, mama
You taught me and suffered for me
You are your own shadow, the light of my eyes

Sweet mother
Beloved mother
Only you, light of my eyes
How much you toiled and thought of me
I miss your shadow, the light of my eyes

Hey mama, light of my eyes
You left, and left me
Hey, mama
How did you leave me without
And I will die of worries day and night
It is me that you cried about
My entire life I will not forget you, my beloved

Where are you mother?
Where were you my beloved?
I am an orphan from the day you left
The enemies cheated me
Only God will comfort me
