Mama [La Mamma] | Μαμά [English translation]

You would yell affectedly,

You'd laugh and pretend to be crying

and I was a child, oh mom.

You've always been running after me,

With a plate 1 and a wish.

Βack then you used to hold me tight,

Now you watch from far away.

Muttering under your breath

I can still hear you say ''Don't upset me

No one will tolerate you

You'll go to waste, you'll see it'' oh, mom.

Oh mom.

Then words on the paper

''I'm sorry, I love you so much.

I'm here,'' oh mom.

You used to draw a heart too,

You used to beat me by cheating

And you aways played the Ave Maria on the record player

Ave Maria.

Υou would lose yourself in the music,

You would become the child

And I was the angel on earth

Τaking care of you for a lifetime.

You used to open the doors

To let the sun and God in

To watch over us, oh mom.

At nights, you were my embrace

And between the kisses

You mimicked the rabbit's,

The wolf's and the fox's voice.

And when I'd come home late,

''I'll take away your keys

You'll find the doors closed,

You're going to kill me, is that what you want?'' Oh mom,

Oh mom.

Then words on the paper

''I'm sorry, I love you so much

I'm here'', oh mom.

You used to draw heart too,

You used to beat me by cheating

And you aways played the Ave Maria on the record player

Ave Maria

You would lose yourself in the music,

You would become the child

And I was the angel on earth

Taking care of you for a lifetime.

Mom, where are you going?

Where are you going, mom?

Mom, where are you going?
