Spoken Voice:
Eh you beauty at home
You mean everything to me
Beautiful rain has fallen
You beauty at home

Oh eh eh sweetheart

Mother who gave birth to me
The most beautiful woman amongst women
You have done everything for me
I became a human being
Mother, what can I give you
No one else can compare to the love
You have given me
No money can compare to what you have done
For me, mother
You my mother
Please accept my gratitude
For all you have done for me
You have raised me in the world

Voiceover: in Kinshasa, Kauka

You have raised me in tears
Today I have become a man
What can I give you, mother
My mother oh

I love you, my old friend

Mama Véro

We will always have a mother oh
We will never be without your love, mother
Mother is gone
Travelers do not return
My mother oh
The suffering of sorrow
Mother, mother, mother
Yo yo sweetheart, the suffering of sorrow
If the sorrow and pain
When will it end
My mother
Wait
We shall meet again
We shall meet again
