My mother once told me that An opportunity will not slip away And indeed she was right
Oh dear me Oh dear me
I was a fool not to listen I ignored all the advice she gave me
Oh poor me Oh poor me
I walked away from my mother like she was a fool But today I see that she was not a fool but someone who knew
Oh Lord Oh Lord
Where will I go? Show me the right path I didn’t follow I was fooled and blinded by this world
Oh mother Oh mother
Please forgive my recklessness I was blinded by arrogance
Oh heavens Oh heavens
Why can’t you just take me to rest My life ended a long time ago It ended for I belittled my mother
