Sweet Mother Lyrics

Sweet Mother - Prince Nico Mbarga

...

Sweet mother, I no go forget you

For this suffer wey you suffer for me

Sweet mother, I no go forget you

For this suffer wey you suffer for me

When I dey cry, my mother go carry me,

She go say my pikin weti you dey cry o yo

Stop stop, stop stop, stop stop make you no cry again

When I want sleep, my mother go pet me

She go lie me well well for bed

She cover me cloth, sing make you sleep

Sleep sleep my pikin oh

When I dey hungry, my mother go run up and down

She dey find me something wey I go tchop oh

Sweet mother, sweet mother oo

When I dey sick,

My mother go cry cry cry

She go say instead when I go die, make she die oh

She go beg God, “God help me, God help me, my pikin oh”

If I no sleep, my mother no go sleep

If I no chop, my mother no go tchop

She no dey tired, Sweet mother

I no go forget this suffer wey you suffer for me

Sweet mother, éé sweet mother oo

Sweet mother I no go forget this suffer wey you suffer for me. And if I fi forget you, therefore I forget my life. If you forget your mother, you’ve lost your life

Sweet mother, I no go forget you

For this suffer wey you suffer for me

Sweet mother, I no go forget you

For this suffer wey you suffer for me

When I dey cry, my mother go carry me,

She go say my pikin weti you dey cry yé yé

Stop stop, stop stop, stop stop make you no cry again

When I want sleep, my mother go pet me

She go lie me well well for bed

She cover me cloth, say make me sleep

Sleep sleep my pikin oh

When I dey hungry, my mother go run up and down

She dey find me something wey I go tchop oh

Sweet mother éé, sweet mother éé

When I dey sick,

My mother go cry cry cry

She go say instead when I go die, make she die oh

She go beg God, “God help me, God help me, my pikin oh”

If I no sleep, my mother no go sleep

If I no chop, my mother no go tchop

She no dey tired, Sweet mother

I no go forget this suffer wey you suffer for me yé yé

Sweet mother, sweet mother

You fit get another wife, you fit get another husband

But you fit get another mother? No, at all.

Sweet mother, I no go forget you

For this suffer wey you suffer for me

Sweet mother, sweet mother
