On the fourth floor of the house across
You lived for the three years just by sitting
By the window side.
You ate whatever they gave,
You drank whatever you are given.
You used to be happy to see anyone coming,
You used to smile so nice.
Ah my mother ah!
Did you get wet in the rain?
Every day, longing for you, increased.
Even your chat was a special one.
You didn’t upset anyone, nor did you let your pain known.
The breath you used to take was the source of your life
And the prayers you said.
Your cotton face, the warmth of your very soft hands
Your looks used to flow to my heart like water does.
Ah my mother ah!
Did you get wet in the rain?
You loved all your three children a lot
Maybe you were not able to see us together
This is life, let it be my challenge you used to say
I was admiring your patience
Where are you now, how are you getting on
Ah my mother ah!
Did you get wet in the rain?
