Mother of Mine

Mother of mine you gave to me,
all of my life to do as I please,
I owe everything I have to you,
Mother sweet Mother of mine.

Mother of mine when I was young
you showed me the right way things had to be done,
without your arms where would I be,
Mother sweet Mother of mine.

Mother you gave me happiness,
much more than words can say,
I pray the Lord that he may bless you
every night and every day.

Mother of mine now I am grown
and I can walk straight all on my own,
I'd like to give you what you gave to me,
Mother sweet Mother of mine.

Mother of mine now I am grown
and I can walk straight all on my own,
I'd like to give you what you gave to me,
Mother sweet Mother of mine.
Mother sweet Mother of mine.

I remember during the 70s, RTM did a big music concert with many of the majority of the singers from the old days (60s) were involved. This song was sung by Indra Shahrir - the son of Nona Asiah(??), but obviously the Malay version of this classic would be titled Mamaku Sayang.

I like that version too, as it remained etched in my memory.
