When you are tired of life’s trials,
When your heart is full of pain,
When your friends and enemies turn away from you,
A cry from the bottom of your heart,
Mother, mother, mother, goodbye.
The world that shows who is who,
The world that taught me when you threw stones at me
The world that made me cry when I remember my mother,
A cry from the bottom of your heart,
Mother, mother, mother, goodbye.
A step towards an independent life,
He said: “You are no less than anyone, my child.”
And now they are few when they are apart,
The cry of your heart comes from old age
Mother, mother, mother, goodbye.
When I’m narrow, I’m wide
Maybe my lament has reached the heavens,
The world is painful, my brother,
A cry from the bottom of your heart,
Mother, mother, mother, goodbye.
