My Mom, a Woman Made of Precious Diamond and Pure Gold
Mom, my mother is a woman made of pure gold
Perfect ruby and exquisite diamond
Whose divine decoration
Is extremely beautiful and charming.
Mom is the most wonderful woman on this soil
The one who warmed my body and soul.
She is not the prettiest
But she remains the most polite.
The one that nourished my body and soul
On the first day at the port
Of life.
She was a girl
When she was young and fresh
Like a sweet honeydew.
Mom is sophisticated
Coquette, chic, and imbued with beauty.
Mom, I wish you
A very happy Haitian Mother's day.
Mommy, ma mère
My mother, mi madre
Mamma mia
Manman pam nan.
P.S. Haitian Mothers Celebrate twice on the second's Sunday and on the last Sunday in May.
