Original text and translations

English text

1. I'm missing the light in the eyes of you,
I'm missing your smile of cheer,
And I'm missing so much just the balm of your touch,
Oh, I'm missing you, Mother, my dear.

Refrain:
Mother, my dear, Mother, my dear,
Heart of gold that I'll love my life through,
When I'm tempted by wrong,
May God make me strong
By sending a thought of you.

2. For the light in your eyes, That was love I know,
And 'twas heaven itself in your smile,
There was power to bless In your slightest caress
That could make even suffering worth while.
