Sowa ayii
Sowa aha sowa wa
Please excuse me, in the name of God, as I want to express myself
I’m addressing all mothers worldwide raising a child is not easy.
Imagine the suffering of pregnancy and of birth,
And then not being able to raise that child!
To then give the child to other people
And give up the right to benefit from the fruit of these labours.
Saha aha ahayiiiiiiiiii
Sowa ah sowa wa
Who has been raised by other people?
My brothers, my sisters, and myself
Who has been raised by others?
Orphans with no father or mother
Please explain to me, as I have trouble understanding
Who was raised by others?
My brothers, my sisters, and me
Don’t give away your children to be raised by others
Don’t give away your sons to be raised by others
Don’t give away your daughters to be raised by others
This can only bring suffering and sadness
Saha aha ahayiiiiiiiiii
Sowa ah sowa wa
Look them in the eyes!
Before condemning them to misery,
look them in the eyes!
Before condemning them to suffering,
look them in the eyes!
Before condemning them to suffering,
look them in the eyes!
Sowa aha sowa wa
