(Yoh... ayy)
They talk too much, but they don't know my story
Only Mama stood by me...
Anizibi bo Ndate, father never knew me (yoh)
Since I was born, it was only you, Mama Gire
We enjoyed life, you were always near me
Now you're gone to rest, leaving me in this journey
But your son is doing well, yes we keep the memory
Bene Mimi, Sitali Florence, they are growing
Idah and Grace, they keep your name shining
Oh Mama Gire, may your soul rest in peace
We miss you, our hero, the love never cease
Turn me from someone to somebody, oh Lord
To care for these double orphans in this cold world
(Ayy... mayo!)
Bene Peace Boy, Edwin, Gift and Abel need you now
We struggle alone, but we will make it somehow
See how the family is scattered and selecting
Bene Mwine and Grace Macwani, they are crying and stressing
You left me Miriam Soko, my strength all alone
But we are standing strong, flesh of your bone
Comfort us, Mama, let your spirit guide us through
We are doing well, we will always love you
From someone to somebody...
Rest well, Mama Gire.
