Sweet Mother

By Prince Nico Mbarga

Sweet mother I will never forget you
For the suffering that you have suffered for me

Sweet mother I will never forget you
For the suffering that you have suffered for me

When I am crying, my mother will carry me and say
My child, why are you crying
Stop stop, stop stop and don’t cry again

When I want to sleep, my mother will pet me
She will lay me on the bed
She will cover with a cloth and sing till I fall asleep
“Sleep sleep” my child oh

When I am hungry my mother will run up and down
She will find something for me to eat

Sweet mother I will never forget you, for the suffering that you have suffered for me

When I am sick, my mother will cry, cry and cry
She will say instead of me to die, she will die

She will beg God
God help me, God help, my child oh

If I don’t sleep, my mother will not sleep
If I don’t eat, my mother will not eat, she is never tried

Sweet mother I will never forget you
For the suffering that you have suffered for me

You can have another wife; you can’t get another husband,
But you can get another mother? NO!

And if I forget you, therefore I am forgetting my life and the air I breathe

And then on to you men, forgetting, verily, forget your mother

This is a song from Prince Nico Mbaraga to all mothers. I have chosen this song becauseI know my mother really cares about me and wants the best for me. She wants me to be happy, make me feel comfortable with my choices, make the right decisions and advise me on them. Lastly, she wants me to be successful and be proud of myself saying, "This is what I have done with my life whenI was young". Thanks mom, I love you.
