Oh, my Dear Precious mum........

[Algerian]

Oh, my Dear Precious mum​

You are the cause of my birth
You are the core of this earth
You are my dear, precious mother
In this world and the other​

Oh my dear great mum

As young I didn’t realize
Your big love and its size
But now a mother myself
You are the soul of my life
​

Oh my dear little mum

My parents, my sisters and brother
Our memories altogether
As alive as books on a shelf
You cared for us more than yourself​

Oh my dear lovely mum

Oh, my dear little mum
Your affection is an anthem
I still remember,
My Dear Precious Mother​

Oh my dear wise mum

Whenever I had a fever
You always got hotter
And instead of being tired
You quickly get inspired​

Oh my dear generous mum

You sang me beautiful lyrics
Then kissed me on the cheeks
Now like you, a grand mother
Emotions make me bother​

Oh my dear marvellous mum

How many years, how many times
How many beautiful feelings and emotions
Have you lived and experienced?
And to our love you are sentenced.​

Oh my dear unique mum

But now so weak and so old
Alone with no one around
Grazing your souvenirs
With your sighs and your tears​

Oh my dear miraculous mum

Your heart is all forgiveness
Your gestures are all tenderness
I beg your pardon now and then​

Oh my dear wonderful mum
I love you as much as I can
To Allah is all my praise
For my years and my days
For my parents my best prize.
Oh my dear prodigious parents
