Oh Mother how cheerful you are
Mother who is always worrying when her son is not asleep
such a loving and caring mother you are

She always talks of her son when she goes to the farm
she will not eat when her son is not at home or around
how sweet she is

I will live to remember such a mother
she always advises her son to keep away from bad company,
bad behaviour, and advises him to look to god always
such a mother deserves to live forever

She takes care of her sons children
how caring is such a mother
Oh mother,
live to enjoy the suffering you have passed through
