Nora Aunor - Mother Song (1970)

Mother Song

I once had a dear old mother

Who love me tenderly

For when I was a baby

She took good care of me.

One night as I lay down sleeping

My sister by my side

I heard a voice from heaven

Telling my mother died.

And when I woke up in the morning

I found my dream come true

For the angels took my mother

And took her to sky so blue.

Narration:

Dear mother, 

was it only yesterday? 

yes, it must have been 

for I could still feel

The gentle touch of your fingers 

each night as you ran them through my hair,

 as you put me to bed.

The magic in your lips

 whenever you kissed my pains and tears away.

The tenderness of your voice, 

so soothing and understanding.

With this thoughts mother, 

I wish 

you are still here with me

 today.

So children obey your mother

Obey them faithfully

For if you lose your mother

You've lost the best of all.
