Soft acoustic guitar scales, followed by the gentle sound of a tube fiddle (endingidi) and warm percussion)
Oh, Maama... mutima ogutabaala...
Lwaki tusiima? Lwaki tukutenda?
Kubanga nkulaba, ne ndaba obulamu.
Kugonza Ateenyi, ono luyimba lwo...
N’abamaama bonna ab’omuwendo.
[VERSE 1: Mukyala Kugonza Ateenyi]
Oli lusu lwange oluleeta emirembe,
Maama wange, Mukyala Kugonza Ateenyi.
Webale okutwagala, webale omukwano ogutakoma,
Empisa z’onfumbidde munda zimmansuka nga zaabu.
Ateenyi, gwe weewaayo nga tewali mazzi mu nnyonta,
Watuzaala, watukuza, n’otuwa n’amaanyi ago.
Mu buli nkyukakyuka y'ensi eno, tewatuleka,
Webale nnyo, mukyala Kugonza Ateenyi, ogaba obulungi.
[VERSE 2: Maama Tania Savior & The Mothers]
Ate n’odda ku Maama Tania Savior, ow’omukwano omungi,
Omutima gwo gujjudde ekiisa ne Savior asaanidde!
Webale okutulaga ekkubo eky’omulembe,
Okukola kwo n’okwagala kwo kutumansula emitima.

Ne Maama Jolly, ow’omukwano ogutakoma mu nsi.

(With powerful, emotional backing vocals)
Abaana bano b’owadde omukwano ogw'ekitalo,
Olaba leero, tukuwa ekitiibwa ky’osaanidde!
Mukyala Kugonza Ateenyi, webale nnyo!

N’abamaama bonna abali mu nsi yonna,
Mwebale, mwebale emitima gyammwe emigi,
Katonda abakuume, abagaba ebirungi!
[VERSE 3: Deep Appreciation & Struggles]
(The rhythm picks up slightly, warm and groovy)
Ekiro twasulanga, nga ggwe otunula wekka,
Ssubi lyaffe wadde ng'ebiseera byali bizibu.
Maama tabala ssente za mmere z’atadde ku mmeeza,
Abala kisa, abala bulamu bw’atadde mu baana.
Maama Tania Savior, ekisa kyo we kiri tekikwata nsoni,
Olw’okwagala kwammwe, ffe tuli bantu mu nsi.
Mukyala Kugonza Ateenyi, raba ogwo omukwano gw’otutaddemu,
Oguwangaaza obulamu bwaffe, gutukuza buli lukya.
[VERSE 4: Global Tribute]
Kati luno oluyimba ndwongera eri abamaama bonna,
Abalwana ennyo mu nsi eno ey’obuzibu.
Abaakola n’amaanyi nga tewali abasiima,
Abasula nga basaba ekiro, Amaziga nga gayika.

Mutunuleko wano, tulaba nnyo okufuba kwammwe,
Ensi eno tebaamu bulamu nga mwe temwasiima!
