Mutsibiisi [English translation]

chorus:

You taught me right from wrong

Love doesn't depend on the amount of money

You always gave me everything I need in life

I wish you could be proud of me

You taught me right from wrong

You always gave me a lot from little *

You always gave me everything I need in life

I wish you could be proud…

You provided a safe home

I learned to ride a bike with your help

Even though I drove to the bushes

well, I got medicine for my injuries

Even though gratitude took a while

and I fought against your rules

I didn't have to wait because of a pub

I didn't take the role of a barbarian

chorus

Don't learn the role of a bully

Don't accept the role of the one bullied

I remembered the manners of a parent

What eyes saw, hands did

Actions confirm the words

Whe you saw a familiar face from a distance

I always saw you wave

I never heard you bad-mouthing anyone

behind one's back

chorus

Yeah, you taught me to be optimistic

You're not pessimistic

You say thing's will work out

And it's repeated in me **

And others have to be taken into account too

You're a single mother, you have two jobs

I'm your listener,

you listen to me

Yes, mom, this is dedicated to you

I would be heartless if I were ungrateful

You taught me right from wrong

Love doesn't depend on the amount of money

You always gave me everything I need in life

I wish you could be proud of me

x2

Proud of me… x3

I wish you could be proud of me

Proud of me… x3
