Oh mother earth
How are you doing
It is my question
Lonely.

Oh mother earth
You give
All your love
To humanity.

Oh mother earth
Many took you
To calamity!

Oh mother earth
To your pretty face
I wanted to tell you
I’m sorry, Mom!

Start again
Bringing you peace
What do you need
To bear
All your anguish
Caused by humanity

Oh mother earth
I wish you were
Happy for eternity

Oh mother earth
and not see you cry
Because of humanity.
