There's only one mother; she's yours; she's mine, She's an angel of mercy, sweet and sublime, She's a savior of men, a heroine divine, She's your darling mother; she's also mine. She clings to her own when others have fled, Who gave them but stones, when she gave them bread; She cared for them by night and by day, While others impatient went far away.

She held to her own e'en unto death,

Blessing their name with her last breath.

Such a savior of men, a heroine divine,

Is your darling mother, and also mine.
