    Summary
    This is a subject that is close to my heart. Whatever your situation in life, don't give your children up. Even with no money, your love will be enough for your child's well-being, for their education. Each child needs their own mother. If only you could look them in the eyes before giving them up and see their sadness and their fear you would never let them go.

    Translated to English (Roughly)
    Sowa ayii
    Sowa aha sowa wa
    Forgive me, in the name of God, but I would like to express myself
    I address all mothers in the world, raising a child is not easy
    Imagine the suffering of pregnancy and childbirth and not having a chance to raise your child
    and then hand the child over to other people, renouncing the right to benefit from the fruit of their pain
    Saha aha ahayi
    Sowa ayi
    Sowa aha sowa wa
    Who was created by other people?
    My brothers, my sisters and me
    Who was created by other people?
    Fatherless and motherless
    Please explain to me, I can't quite understand
    Who was created by other people?
    My brothers, my sisters and me
    Do not give your children to be raised by others
    Do not give your children to be raised by others
    Do not give your daughters to be raised by other people
    This will only bring sadness and suffering
    Saha aha ahayi
    Sowa ayi
    Sowa aha sowa wa
    Look into your eyes
    Before sending them to misfortune
    Look into your eyes
    Before sending them to suffering
    Look into your eyes
    Before sending them to suffering
    Look into your eyes
    Sowa aha sowa wa

      Hi thanks for the translation. Please allow me to make the following corrections.
      "Who was created by other people" is not correct. Instead replace created by "raised up"
      And also "Look into your eyes" is not correct.
      It is look into 'their' eyes (reffering to the eyes of those children send away).

    The translation in Portuguese:
    Sowa ayii
    Sowa aha sowa wa
    Perdoem-me, em nome de Deus, mas gostaria de me expressar
    Eu me dirijo a todas as mães do mundo, criar um filho não é fácil
    Imagine o sofrimento da gravidez e do parto e não ter a chance de criar seu filho
    e em seguida entregar a criança a outras pessoas, renunciando ao direito de se beneficiar do fruto de sua dor
    Saha aha ahayi
    Sowa ayi
    Sowa aha sowa wa
    Quem foi criado por outras pessoas?
    Meus irmãos, minhas irmãs e eu
    Quem foi criado por outras pessoas?
    Órfãos de pai e de mãe
    Por favor, me explique, eu não consigo entender muito bem
    Quem foi criado por outras pessoas?
    Meus irmãos, minhas irmãs e eu
    Não deem suas crianças para serem criados por outras pessoas
    Não deem seus filhos para serem criados por outras pessoas
    Não deem suas filhas para serem criados por outras pessoas
    Isso só vai trazer tristeza e sofrimento
    Saha aha ahayi
    Sowa ayi
    Sowa aha sowa wa
    Olhem dentro de seus olhos
    Antes de enviá-los para a desventura
    Olhem dentro de seus olhos
    Antes de enviá-los para o sofrimento
    Olhem dentro de seus olhos
    Antes de enviá-los para o sofrimento
    Olhem dentro de seus olhos

    Sowa aha sowa wa x 2
    Je vous prie de m’excuser, au nom de Dieu, car j’ai envie de m’exprimer
    Je m’adresse à toutes les mères du monde; élever un enfant n’est pas facile
    Imaginez la souffrance de la grossesse et de l’accouchement et ne pas pouvoir élever cet enfant!
    Pour ensuite le donner aux autres et renoncer au droit de profiter du fruit de ses labeurs.
    Chorus
    Qui a été élevé par autrui?
    Mes frères, mes sœurs et moi-même
    Qui a été élevé par autrui?
    Les orphelins de père et de mère
    Expliquez-moi s’il vous plait, car j’ai du mal à comprendre
    Qui a été élevé par autrui?
    Mes frères, mes sœurs et moi-même
    Ne donnez pas vos enfants pour être élevés par les autres
    Ne donnez pas vos garçons pour être élevés par les autres
    Ne donnez pas vos filles pour être élevées par les autres
    Cela n’apporte que souffrance et tristesse.
    Chorus
    Regardez-les dans les yeux! X4
    Avant de les envoyer dans la galère. Regardez-les dans les yeux!
    Avant de les envoyer dans la souffrance. Regardez-les dans les yeux! x2
