Mama Lyrics English Translation by Besmaya
Mama,
It’s been a while since I came to be with you,
Lately I’m just looking at my own navel
And I’m locked up inside myself
Mama,
I’ve strayed from the path,
I’ve been lost for some time now,
So you look for me
And it’s just that without you
There would be houses,
But no homes,
There would be meetings,
But no family parties,
There would be loves,
But no unconditional ones.
Without you
Everything would be so gray,
An endless office,
And I wouldn’t want to live here
Mama,
Remind me of what I learned when I was a kid,
That great things come little by little
And hidden in the details
Mama,
You who don’t measure your devotion,
You who don’t put up barriers,
Make me be like you.
And it’s just that without you
There would be houses,
But no homes,
There would be meetings,
But no family parties,
There would be loves,
But no unconditional ones.
Without you
Everything would be so gray,
An endless office,
And I wouldn’t want to live here, live here, live.
There’s no ship that brings me to port like you,
No lighthouse that guides me with your light,
Because when everything trembles
And everyone fails,
You never fail.
(we mothers stand still
So our daughters can look back
To see how far they’ve come).
