Cradle me in your arms, mother
Sing me a lullaby;
Snuggle and sleep, i want to, mother
Listening to your heart beat-by.

Many a people, I have hurt, mother
Unknown to my heart;
When they tell me, I regret, mother
With prayers, I do my part.

My heart, hurt and beaten, Mother
It's borne a lot of play.
Your love gives me tenacity, mother
I can work with aplomb and gay.

Desire, I must give up, mother
Without it, I am steady and calm.
The mind, I must control, mother
It must not sway like the palm.

My soul has learnt to love, mother
What it is, was unknown.
My soul enjoys giving, mother
The peace in me has grown.

I have come a long way, mother
My legs are tired and worn.
I am at peace with myself, mother
My soul, with experience has grown.

You brought me to this world, Mother
You gave me values strong.
Your affection, love and care, Mother
Has been a melodious song.

I don't have enough words, Mother
That is my Achilles heel.
I'll always love and care for you, Dear Mother
Your blessing on me, I feel.
