I love you, I love you, I love so immensely, Mother, mother, sweet mother. For your love and your kindness, I will sing your praises all of my life. (Ahh) My soul is delirious at the cries of your pain; My music throbs and groans its length. Lord, in your kindness, Comfort my mother. Give her your love, your strength and your light. For she remains forever my great inspiration, And that my life for her is a blessing.
