Mommy, please don't leave me
Give me the right to live
Allow me to see the sunlight
Allow me to form completely as a human

Mommy, please don't leave me
Because I am your child
People usually say that no-one
Loves a child like a mother does

Mommy, why did you abandon me?
Lonely in the dust of life
Stumble through market alleys
I'm longing for your presence
Ah…oh, Who sings me lullabies?
I’m lost in the nothingness)
I ask fireflies to light up my way
While I am searching for you

Who brought about grief and sorrow
They could not hide from the Almighty above
Who committed such wrong doings
Would suffer in the afterlives.

Me oi xin dung bo con
Hay cho con quyen lam nguoi
Hay cho con thay mat troi
Cho con duoc du hinh hai.

Me oi xin dung bo con
Vi con la con cua me
Nguoi doi ho thuong hay noi
Khong ai thuong con bang me

Vi sao, me lai bo con?
Bo vo giua chon bui tran
Lang thang cuoi xom cho doi
Con khat khao con co me

A oi, ai ru con ngu?
Lac vao hai coi hu vo
Con nho dom dom sang soi
Thap loi con di tim me

Nguoi doi gieo bao trai ngang
Se khong qua duoc dao troi
Nguoi doi gay ra lam loi
Gieo nghiep noi kiep kho dau.
