Lyrics
the river is running dry
And the animals, went to the market to buy bread, the river is running dry
Your mother is not here, sometimes i feel like a motherless child Charmaine, sometimes i feel like a motherless child
Wala diri imo nanay, the river is running dry, the children have nothing to drink
kadto tienda
the children have nothing to drink
Sometimes i feel like a motherless child, sometimes i feel like a motherless child
sometimes i feel like a motherless child
Ili-ili tulog anay, nasaan ka inay
nasaan ka inay
sometimes i feel like a motherless child
your mother is not here
where are you mother?
a long way from home
sometimes i feel like a motherless child
The trees are dying, sleep for a while
Ang mga hayop, ili-ili tulog anay, sometimes i feel like a motherless child
And the animals, and the animals Charmaine, ili ili tulog anay
wala diri imo nanay
and the animals
namamatay na ang mga puno
Sometimes i feel like a motherless child, sleep for a while
Ang mga hayop, wala ng mainom ang mga bata, sleep for a while
Sometimes i feel like a motherless child, the river is running dry Clamor, sometimes i feel like a motherless child
sometimes i feel like a motherless child
sometimes i feel like a motherless child
A long way from home, kadto tienda Motherless, ili-ili tulog anay
Hush.sleep for a while, ili-ili tulog anay, ang mga hayop
ili-ili tulog anay
Sometimes i feel like a motherless child, your mother is not here, kadto tienda
Wala diri imo nanay, nasaan ka inay Motherless, the children have nothing to drink
Namamatay na ang mga puno, natutuyo na an mga dagat
sleep for a while
Sometimes i feel like a motherless child, the river is running dry
Where are you mother?, natutuyo na ang mga dagat, ili-ili tulog anay
ili-ili tulog anay
the trees are dying
Sometimes i feel like a motherless child, wala diri imo nanay
natutuyo na an mga dagat
The children have nothing to drink, sometimes i feel like a motherless child Motherless, went to the market to buy bread
Sleep for a while, ili-ili tulog anay, hush.sleep for a while
a long way from home
Ili-ili tulog anay, the trees are dying Motherless, sometimes i feel like a motherless child
Sleep for a while, ili-ili tulog anay
Nasaan ka inay, a long way from home, the children have nothing to drink
Sometimes i feel like a motherless child, the children have nothing to drink
Nawawala na ang mga tubig, sleep for a while, ili-ili tulog anay
Natutuyo na an mga dagat, a long way from home Clamor, sleep for a while
Natutuyo na an mga dagat, the river is running dry
