Mamma - Nana Mouskouri (娜娜·穆斯库莉)[00:00:00]
This is the tale of a little boy[00:00:04]
Wandering far from his home[00:00:09]
Most of his family were with him then[00:00:14]
And nothing but life did they own[00:00:19]
Tortured by war in their native land[00:00:24]
Their only recourse was to flight[00:00:28]
Tracing the path of the sun by day[00:00:33]
And led by the north star at night[00:00:38]
Onward they pressed[00:00:42]
To the promised land[00:00:44]
Not knowing if that was the way[00:00:47]
And none of the children[00:00:52]
Could understand[00:00:54]
And this little boy used to say[00:00:57]
Hey hey hey[00:01:01]
Mamma where do we go from here [00:01:04]
Mamma why can' t we stay [00:01:09]
Mamma is daddy very near [00:01:14]
Mamma why do you pray [00:01:18]
Down came the winter [00:01:26]
The food was scarce[00:01:28]
The people were falling like flies[00:01:30]
Disease helped starvation[00:01:35]
Make matters worse[00:01:37]
And parents resorted to lies[00:01:39]
Hush your mamma will soon be well[00:01:44]
Though all they can do is to wait[00:01:49]
And one little boy hears the doctor tell[00:01:54]
The others he thinks it' s too late[00:01:59]
It' s too late[00:02:03]
Mamma he whispers quietly[00:02:06]
Mamma you' re looking old[00:02:11]
Mamma why don' t you answer me [00:02:16]
Mamma your hands feel cold[00:02:20]
He rushes out into the chilly night[00:02:27]
He can't believe what he has been told[00:02:32]
The tears in his eyes[00:02:37]
Start to blur his sight[00:02:39]
And freeze on his face with the cold[00:02:41]
But in the next camp [00:02:46]
There is a mother mild[00:02:49]
Who's mourning a son passed away[00:02:51]
And fate brings the cries[00:02:56]
Of the little child[00:02:58]
To her just as he starts to say[00:03:01]
Hey hey hey[00:03:05]
Mamma she knows what she must do[00:03:08]
Mamma she thinks of her[00:03:13]
Mamma I must take the place of you[00:03:18]
And take him into my care[00:03:22]
Mamma oh oh[00:03:27]
Mamma oh oh[00:03:32]
Mamma oh oh[00:03:36]
Mamma oh oh[00:03:41]
