Havanna Mamma [English translation]

Not quite satisfied with life

one day she wanted more

Therefore she snuck out extra early

when the boss looked down

She wanted to go far away

Away from the corner of everyday life

She wanted to reborn

She wanted to relive her dream

She had saved for a year

She wrote a note that say "Good bye,

remember to feed the cat, one day you will understand."

She left the husband, child and house

Never did she regret that decision

(She just left)

On a beach on Havanna

She became the street childrens' mother

There, she understood who she was

He had waited several hours

when he finally understood

That his wife since seventeen years

had stopped waiting the dinner table

How could she do that?

He tried to understand

Had he not given her all

she ever pointed at?

Sure, he occationally complained

like when the food barely was warm

He had almost aways been there

since the children were small

One day he would understand

She left the husband, child and house

Never did she regret that decision

(She just left)

On a beach on Havanna

She became the street childrens' mother

There, she understood who she was

The story started to spread

to all the corners of the world

She became a hero, a legend

to all women with lazy men

Could they also do that?

Just leave everything and go?

Place a bet on themselves

and see how far they could reach?

There were those who left

But most remained

Some changed their mind on the way

and came back after a few days

But they all could understand

She left the husband, child and house

Never did she regret that decision

(She just left)

On a beach on Havanna

She became the street childrens' mother

There, she understood who she was
