HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 266 : Sweet mother by Christiana Essien (Cover)

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Hive Open Mic community, it is a pleasure to be here, and this is my first entry in this community. My name is @nsigo1. I want to thank the founder of this group and all the admins who have been working hard to keep it running.

I really love the theme for week 266 because it is about celebrating our mothers. For this reason, I have chosen to perform a special song titled "Sweet Mother" by Christian Essien.

This song expresses what our mothers go through to raise us, the sleepless nights they endure, and the times they went without food for our sake. Indeed, mothers are truly great.

Lyrics of the song

Sweet mother, I no go forget you
For this suffer wey you suffer for me
Sweet mother, I no go forget you
For this suffer wey you suffer for me

When I dey cry, my mother go carry me,
She go say my pikin weti you dey cry o yo
Stop stop, stop stop, stop stop make you no cry again
When I want sleep, my mother go pet me
She go lie me well well for bed
She cover me cloth, sing make you sleep

Sleep sleep my pikin oh

When I dey hungry, my mother go run up and down
She dey find me something wey I go chop oh

Sweet mother, sweet mother oo

When I dey sick,
My mother go cry, cry, cry
She go say instead when I go die, make she die oh
She go beg God, “God help me, God help me, my pikin oh”...
