Mom and Dad love me,
they taught me and raised me.
Oh God, keep my mama
and papa, the light of my eyes
Mom, mom the great lady
Mom the most beautiful gardenia
God protect you,
You are too dear to me.
Dad, dad you are so nice
Dad, dad you are so dear,
He is in my eye, he is in my heart
Never forget him.

يا رب تخلي الماما
والبابا نور عيوني
ماما یا ماما یا ست الکل
ماما یا أحلی فل
یا رب یخلیکي لیا
یا ماما یا غالیه علیا
بابا یا بابا ما أحلی
بابا یا بابا ما أغلی
هو في عیني هو في قلبي
دوماً دوماً لا أنساه
