about

This is a song inspired by my appreciation for the wonderful person that my Mom is. This is also a special tribute to Mothers around the world, and those already in heaven.

The original recording of 'Mao' is on the 'Lukundo (Love)' album.

lyrics

Ulijua uchungu wa mwana uliponizaa
Nashukuru, nashukuru
Tena ukanilea mama ukanifunza
Nashukuru, nashukuru

Mambo yalipokuwa magumu
Ulijikakamua, ulijitolea
Ulinifunza kuomba, umuhimu wa msamaha
Shujaa ni wewe

Mao, nakukunde
Mlungu ukurasimie sana
Mao, nakulombie
Wucha ghwake ghukunughe
Kwa kala na kala

Mara nyingi nilipokosea, ulinikosoa
Nashukuru, nashukuru
Ulikuwa mrembo wa kwanza aliyenipenda yeah
Nashukuru, nashukuru

Mambo yalipokuwa magumu
ulijikakamua, ulijitolea
Ulinifunza kuomba, umuhimu wa msamaha
Shujaa ni wewe

Mao, nakukunde, Mlungu ukurasimie sana
Mao, nakulombie, wucha ghwake ghukunughe
Kwa kala na kala

Uuuuh uuuuh
Uuuuh aaah
Uuuuuuuuh

Shujaa ni wewe
Mama, nakupenda
Mungu akubariki sana
Mama, nakuombea wema wake
Ukufwate milele
