about

You did an amazing thing by creating a woman

In the middle of the night
I heard her pray
So bitterly and so deeply
She prayed for her children
She prayed their education
Then she prayed for the man that loved her with them everyday
I'm talking about my mother dear Ndaya
I'm talking about the mother that bore me
I'm talking about my mother dear Ndaya
I'm talking about my mother

Uuooohhh God bless my mother

You did an amazing thing by creating a woman

I'm saying thank you
To all the mothers of the world
To the all the mothers of the world
God bless you all
All the mothers that love their children
All the mothers that love their children
God bless you all

Uuooohhh God bless my mother
God bless you woman
Uuooohhh God bless my mother

You did an amazing thing by creating a woman
Dear God
You did an amazing thing by creating a woman

I remember walking with her to the field
Kilometers away from home
Kilometers away from home
Just to dig some dry land with a hoe
With a wish to find a little bit of hope
Help me father, help me lord

Dear God
You did an amazing thing by creating a woman
Yekele kele yoyoyo
Dear God
You did an amazing thing by creating a woman
Yo yo yo Lord of the people
Dear God
You did an amazing thing by creating a woman
Our lord the conqueror
Dear God
You did an amazing thing by creating a woman
Ye ye ye
Dear God
Mother
Mothers
Thank you
Mothers

lyrics

Uji mwenza malu manene bwakutupesha bamamu eh

In the middle of the night
I heard her pray
So bitterly and so deeply
She prayed for her children
She prayed their education
Then she prayed for the man that loved her with them everyday
I'm talking about mamu Ndaya wanyi
I'm talking about mamu mulela mema
I'm talking about mamu wanyi mema
I'm talking about mamu wanyi

Uuooohhh God bless Mamu wanyi

Uji mwenza malu manene bwakutupesha bamamu eh

Nji ngamba twasakijila iye
Kuji bamamu babuloba bonsu
Kuji bamamu babuloba bonsu
Zambi anu benesha nenu bonsu
Bamamu bajibananga bana babu eh
Bamamu bajibananga bana babu eh
Zambi anu benesha nenu bonsu

Uuooohhh God bless Mamu wanyi
God bless you woman
Uuooohhh God bless Mamu wanyi

Uji mwenza malu manene bwakutupesha bamamu eh
Tatu Nzambi wetu eh
Uji mwenza malu manene bwakutupesha bamamu eh

I remember walking with her to the field
Kilometers away from home
Kilometers away from home
Just to dig some dry land with a hoe
With a wish to find a little bit of hope
Help me father, help me lord

Tatu Nzambi wetu eh
Uji mwenza malu manene bwakutupesha bamamu eh
Yekele kele yoyoyo
Tatu Nzambi wetu eh
Uji mwenza malu manene bwakutupesha bamamu eh
Yoyoyo mukalenga bantu
Tatu Nzambi wetu eh
Uji mwenza malu manene bwakutupesha bamamu eh
Mukalenga wetu chilobu chimankinda
Tatu Nzambi wetu eh
Uji mwenza malu manene bwakutupesha bamamu eh
Yeyeyi
Tatu Zambi eh
Mamu wanyi
Ba mamu
Twasakijila
Ba mamu
Umvwayi malu
