lyrics

Nwam Nwam (My Child, My Child)
This music is a folk lullaby from the Igbo tribe and popular sang to calm a crying baby.

English Translation
My child! My child! Cry no more.
Your mother is around why are you crying?
Cry no more, what is wrong with you?
Cry no more, my child! My child!
Cry no more your mother is around
Come, tell me the reason for your tears
Cry no more come let me carry you
Cry no more, come let me wipe your tears
Cry no more, come take bean cake
My precious child cry no more
Paragon of beauty, my beautiful child
Cry no more, my awesome child
Cry no more
