Mamma lyrics
Italian
Mamma, son tanto felice
Perché ritorno da te
La mia canzone ti dice
Che il più bel giorno per me
Mamma, son tanto felice
Viver’ lontano perché
Mamma, solo per te la mia canzone vola
Mamma, sarai con me, tu non sarai più sola
Quanto ti voglio bene
Queste parole d’amore
Che ti sospira il mio cuore
Forse non s’usano più
Mamma, ma la canzone mia, più bella sei tu
Sei tu la vita e per la vita non ti lascio mai più
Sento la mano tua stanca
Cerca I miei riccioli d’or
Sento e la voce ti manca
La ninna nanna d’allor
Oggi la testa tua bianca
Io voglio stringere al cuor
Mamma, solo per te la mia canzone vola
Mamma, sarai con me, tu non sarai più sola
Quanto ti voglio bene
Queste parole d’amore
Che ti sospira il mio cuore
Forse non s’usano più
Mamma, ma la canzone mia, più bella sei tu
Sei tu la vita e per la vita non ti lascio mai più
Quanto ti voglio bene
Queste parole d’amore
Che ti sospira il mio cuore
Forse non s’usano più
Mamma, ma la canzone mia, più bella sei tu
Sei tu la vita e per la vita non ti lascio mai più
Mamma, mai più
English Translation
Mom, I’m so happy
‘Cause I’m coming back to you
My song tells you
What the most beautiful day for me
Mom, I’m so happy
To live far away because
Mama, just for you my song flies
Mama, you’ll be with me, you’ll never be alone anymore
How much I love you
These words of love
That my heart sighs for you
Maybe they are no longer used
Mom, but my song, you’re the most beautiful
You are the life and for life, I will never leave you again
I feel your hand tired
Search for my golden curly hair
I hear and your voice misses you
The lullaby of lor
Today your white head
I want to hold my heart
Mama, just for you my song flies
Mama, you’ll be with me, you’ll never be alone anymore
How much I love you
These words of love
That my heart sighs for you
Maybe they are no longer used
Mom, but my song, you’re the most beautiful
You are the life and for life, I will never leave you again
How much I love you
These words of love
That my heart sighs for you
Maybe they are no longer used
Mom, but my song, you’re the most beautiful
You are the life and for life, I will never leave you again
Mom, never again
