I am going to be married
I will be leaving my home
I am a 17 year old bride to be, my dear Mom
And I will be joining my beloved
You gave birth to me,
You loved me, cared for me
The sea has taken all you have sacrificed for me, my dear Mom
And has given it to my beloved
May your sweet milk which nourished me as a babe
Sustain me now
May your blessing, my dear Mom
Remain on me forever
Oh, my dear Mom
I am going to be married
I will be leaving my home
I am a 17 year old bride to be, my dear Mom
And I will be with my beloved
Oh, my dear Mom
