Mother is my last worldly attachment.

[Verse] By the dim lamp and the ancient Buddha, Amidst the throng of visitors. When night falls and all is quiet, In the moments of solitude, I always recall, The day I turned and left home, You pointed at my back and blessed me fervently: "Go away! Even if you're suddenly crushed by a cart, I won't be left with no heir, right? I still have two other sons!" [Chorus] Since then, adrift in the vast rivers and lakes, I, at the age of sixteen, Forever lost you, And lost my hometown. Since then, through the hardships of the crowd, Desperate yet stubborn. [Verse] Later, you passed away, Died on the kang of your second son, With tears in your eyes at the end, You instructed your two beloved sons, "Bring your younger brother back, Find him a wife..." [Chorus] At that time, there were no mobile phones, No telephones. At that time, I had already taken the tonsure and become a monk. [Verse] When I achieved success in my career, When I returned home in splendid attire, When I carried a bag full of gifts, Eagerly returning to my hometown, All I saw was a Small, lonely grave, So desolate, So desolate. [Tag] Ma, mama, mom, niang, mom, Mama, mani, niang, mom.
