Mother, did your child forget?
The nights that God told you?
Crying all night
The days I didn’t sleep?
Mother, did your child forget?
Did you eat without eating?
The bitter cold of winter
Did you dress me warm?
Mother, did your child forget?
Are you hungry baby?
Without complaining about your fate,
Are you sad in your heart?
Mother, did your child forget?
You are sad because of my child.
Put on your own rags,
Go to him, you who have caught him.
Mother, did your child forget?
Those of you who pray awake.
If he says oh, a thousand and one lights up,
Did you have your heart’s desire?
Mom, did you forget too?
You don’t remember this time.
For all your hard work,
Why don’t you ask? contribution
