Bonda .

I will return oh mother
And kiss your chaste head
And supress blame my desires
And taste the scent 
of your blessings
Besmirch in the
richness of your feet
my cheek when I meet you
Water the soil with my tears
Happy that you are alive


How many nights did
 you stay up late
So that I could 
sleep to my content?
And how many times 
did you thirst
So you could quench 
my thirst with your tenderness?
And one day I was ill, 
I do not forget
The tears from you 
that were like the rain
And your eyes which
 stayed awake
fearing that I may 
be in danger
And the day we parted at dawn
and Oh what a harsh 
dawn that was
Words cannot explain what
I felt when I abandoned you
And you told me things 
which I still
remember throughout my life
"You will never find a heart
more tender towards 
you than mine"
"You will never find a heart
more tender towards
 you than mine"


obedience to you, 
oh want of my life..
[is what] the God of existence 
has instructed me to do.
Your content is the 
secret of my success
And my love of you
is the secret of my beleif
And the sincerety of 
your prayer [for me]..
has resolved my misfortunes 
and my sadness
My love towards you..
no human being loves anything like it
You are the beating of my heart
And you are what lights my vision
And you are the tune on my lips
My problems cease when
 I see your face
To you I do return 
oh mother
Tomorrow I rest
 from my journey
And a second age will
begin for me
and the branches will 
blossom with flowers
