Oh, My Dear Mum

Oh, my Dear Precious mum You are the cause of my birth You are the core of this earth You are my dear, precious mother In this world and the other Oh my dear great mum As young I didn’t realize Your big love and its size But now a mother myself You are the soul of my life Oh my dear little mum My parents, my sisters and brother Our memories altogether As alive as books on a shelf You cared for us more than yourself Oh my dear lovely mum Oh, my dear little mum Your affection is an anthem I still remember, My Dear Precious Mother Oh my dear wise mum Whenever I had a fever You always got hotter And instead of being tired You quickly get inspired Oh my dear generous mum You sang me beautiful lyrics Then kissed me on the cheeks Now like you, a grand mother Emotions make me bother Oh my dear marvellous mum How many years, how many times How many beautiful feelings and emotions Have you live and experienced? And to our love you are sentenced. Oh my dear unique mum But now so weak and so old Alone with no one around Grazing your souvenirs With your sighs and your tears Oh my dear miraculous mum Your heart is all forgiveness Your gestures are all tenderness I beg your pardon now and then Oh my dear wonderful mum I love you as much as I can To Allah is all my praise For my years and my days For my parents my best prize. Oh my dear prodigious parents
