Your Mother

Bunga di Ciwidey

Sekitar dua bulan yang lalu kami mendapatkan CD lagu anak-anak di sebuah toko di Serpong. Album CD tersebut berjudul "I Look, I See" yang merupakan karya Yusuf Islam, Friends & Children. Selain lagu tulisan Yusuf Islam ada juga beberapa lagu yang sudah dikenal di tanah air, seperti Tala'a Al-Badru 'Alayna. Salah satu lagu yang syairnya bagus adalah lagu "Your Mother" seperti berikut:

Your Mother

Who should I give my love to?
My respect and my honour to?
Who should I pay good mind to - after Allah
And Rasul-Allah?
Comes your mother,
Who next,Your mother,
Who next? Your mother,
And then your father

Cause who used to hold you
And clean you and clothe you?
Who used to feed you
And always be with you?
When you were sick,stay up all night
Holding you tight?
That's right no other, my mother

Who should I take good care of,
Giving all my love?
Who should I think the most of - after Allah
And Rasul-Allah?
Comes your mother,
Who next,Your mother,
Who next? Your mother,
And then your father

Cause who used to hear you
Before we could talk?
Who used to hold you
Before you could walk?
And when you fell, who'd pick you up?
Clean you cut?
No one but,your mother,my mother

Who should I stay right close to?
Listen most to?
Never say no to - after Allah
And Rasul-Allah?
Comes your mother,
Who next,Your mother,
Who next? Your mother,
And then your father

Cause who used to hug you
And buy you new clothes?
Comb your hair and blow your nose?
And when you cried who wiped your tears?
Knows your fears? Who really cares?
My mother

Say al-hamdu li-Allah
Thank you Allah
Thank you Allah for my mother

(Lagu "Your Mother" ditulis oleh Yusuf Islam dalam album I Look, I See )
