My child, you are young 
 Listen when your mother speaks to you 
 Hear her words to you 
 Listen when your mother speaks with you 
 Listen to her conversation


You will see lots of places 
 Always be on your best behavior

You will go to the place of learning to prepare for your life

My child

Be obedient

The day will come, it's not far away

You will know
