Esdoorlaan Eijsden-
waar het leven voor mij begon
nog vóór mijn eerste ademhaling.
Daar werd mijn moeder geboren,
in een huis vol stemmen
en zachte gebaren van vroeger.
De bron die mij het leven heeft geschonken
ontsprong tussen die muren,
onder dat dak,
......
You wake me with a hug...
As the sun begins to rise...
You ask if I slept well...
Wipe the sleep from my eyes...
You dress me for school...
In all my favorite clothes...
You tell me I look just perfect...
As only a loving mother knows...
......
Mothers,the heroes of our world.
They do not wear medals,
yet carry the weight of generations in their arms.
They give birth to us,
breastfeed us to make us grow,
and guide us through our upbringing
to become decent humans.
This is not a duty.
It is a calling etched into bone,
sung in lullabies,
......
Listen to me, young man...
I AM YOUR LOVING MOTHER!
I brought you into this world...
And I can take you out like no other!
Look at me, boy...
When I’m talking to you!
If you don’t do as I say...
I slap your head with my shoe!
