My son you look so bad
You should take care of yourself
Never forget your vitamins
Cover yourself well when it's cold
I know you are not nine anymore
But you're still my child
They are always on the alert
Jewish mothers
I think you're doing too much sport
They say it is not very healthy
It's dangerous all these efforts
do you actually need that ?
I know you are not fifteen anymore
But you're still my child
They are worried and emotional
Jewish mothers
I bought two ties
you put the blue with dots
When you came for Shabbat
Why? the other you do not like it?
I know are not twenty anymore
But you're still my child
They are sometimes very excessive
Jewish mothers
In this coat I made for you
You'd be lawyer, doctor,
but you'd love better to be a singer
And leave me for months
I know you are not thirty anymore
But you're still my child
They are sweet and attentive
Jewish mothers
Your wife is almost a child
How can she take care of you?
She does not even know how to cook
Luckily I'm here
I know you are not forty anymore
But you're still my child
They can be possessive
Jewish mothers
While I know you
I do the dishes you prefer
I'm knitting a scarf
Pairs of gloves, sweater
I know you not fifty anymore
But you're still my child
They are very active
Jewish mothers
Come on darling, come my child
Do not worry, I do not cry
Even when you do not call me
I'm the one to whom it does not matter
I know you are not sixty anymore
But you're still my child
They are soft and naive
Jewish mothers
When my mother spoke little
I found it unbearable
Since her absence overwhelms me
I dream every night to hear
I know you are not seventy anymore
But you're still my child
She was as pure as the water of life
My Jewish mother
