English lyrics:
Ho mama why did you leave
You are my soul and my life
My eyes to you mama
You thought me and worked hard for me
You're my beauty, The light in my eyes
My merciful mama, My loved mama
Only you, the light in my eyes
How much you did for me and your life passed while taking care of me
I miss your beauty, The light in my eyes
Oh mama, The light in my eyes, You went and left me, oh mama
How did you leave me orphan without a thing
I"ll die from sorrow, emptiness day and night
I, I that you cried for me and said: All my life i won't forget you my beauty
Where are you mama, Were are you my love
I'm all broken since the day you left
Bad people caused all this sorrow
Only god can heal me
Oh mama, The light in my eyes, Left and left me oh mama
How did you leave me an orphan without a thing
I'll die from sorrow, emptiness day and night
I, I that you cried for me and said: All my life i won't forget you my beauty
I won't forget you my love
I won't forget you my love
I won't forget you my love
