English translation (from Macua)
We know everything you did and went through
We know everything you did and went through, mama
I saw what you had to suffer
I saw what you had to suffer
To provide for us
And whenever you left the house I would ask
Where are you going, mama, where are you going, mama
Where are you going, mama, where are you going, mama
I’m going to find money
I’m going to find money
So we can eat
