Nana takhilo sagan-miyu

Kada ogga'an ripara i na'na para i familia
Every morning she thinks about the food for the family
kahulo yan chatangmak gi ora alas quatro gi media
She gets up very early at 4:30 a.m.
Ha fagasi i finenena i pigas depues ha na'lago
She first washes the uncooked rice then she cooks it
pues humalom gi kuatto yan sigi di magagu
She goes inside her room and then she folds clothes

Chorus:
Nana takhilo sagan-miyu
Mom, rest high
Ai gaige gi fion as Yu'os
You're next to God
Hunggan meggai na minaspet gi lina'la-miyu
Yes, there was a lot of suffering in your life
Nana takhilo sagan-miyu
Mom, rest high

Esti i lina'la yanggin hafa masusedi gi familia
This life if you're experiencing with your family
Guiya todo i tiempo mofona mandispensa
She's always asking for forgiveness
Rekodos i famaguon-na ai taya u layu
She brings all her children together no one is jealous
Ha guaiya todo parehu gi uno yan i otro
She loves everyone the same each one and the other

Chorus

Gi hilo tano maseha manu guatu guaha maolek, guaha baba
On earth, wherever you go, there's good, there's bad
Lao i finaguen-na gi lina'ala munnga manfanmalefa
But her teaching on life is not forgetting
Hongge na singangan i para bai hu saganani hamyo
and believe the saying that I will tell you
Maolek-na baba nana kinu un maloek tata
It's better to have a bad mom than to have a good dad

Chorus
