Verse1:
Mam"uMiriam Makeba, Mam"uWinnie Mandela, Mam"uNoeleen Maholwana Sangqu
These are women of strength
Ordinary citizens, Ngomama babantwana babo , Add my mother into that
Mothers go through hell for us
Chorus:
So tell me how can I forget, Where I'm coming from
My mother carried me in her womb, Tell me how can I forget
(repeat)
Verse:2
All they ever do is for us, They sacrifice their lives for us
Umama wam ngumama wakho, Respect every woman out there
My mother's why I breathe each day, Uthando lwakhe luyamangalisa
Noba ndiphi ngeze ndilibale , There is no place like home
Chorus
Bridge:
Umama wam uyandiphilisa, Amehlo am uyawalilisa
Oh mama wam ndiyaxolisa, Ngokuhlupha nokukhohlisa (repeat)
Ntombazana ka Cikizwa, Mfazi ndini ka-Totose
Wena uli-Dosini elihle, Ngeze ndikulahle mna
You are an ordinary citizen, Umama wabantwana bakhe
Ntombe ntle oncumo lungapheli, Enkosi ngemvelaphi yam
Repeat chorus until end
