Plam Koj Mus by Tou Kuv ncaim mus tau ntev lawm Lub sij hawm nus tsis tos Kuv rov los tsis muaj koj Koj twb ploj nrog luag mus. Wb cov lus cas tsis khaws tseg Kom ruaj ntseg li cog cia. Cav tsis qhia kuv thov ntxov. Siab thiaj sov mus ua lwm yam Zaum no plam koj mus ib txhis. My Dad by Wamisho You always think about me, You think about my future, Ignoring the present. You don’t know you’re suffering my present, But you know you are granting the future, By always thinking about my education. We never decide my education together. We have different ideas, I hope that we can connect them.
