Mama English translation
von Matthias Reim

My memory of you
So intense and still so fresh
Your voice, I can still hear it, you're not gone
I could swear to that

You were the fortress of my world
That always held everything together
Everyone could come to you when there was an alarm, your advice was wise
And you were beautiful

Tell me, can you still see me where you are now?
And can you understand me when I talk to you?
This world feels so much emptier to me since you left.
Oh, Mama
I miss you
I miss you


Your heart was as big as your mind
What has banished us for a lifetime
When I couldn't go on anymore, I could come to you
You gave me comfort and advice, a sandwich and a beer

I only understood when you left
What you mean to me and how much I was attached to you
I would have loved to tell you that you were the center of my life.

Tell me, can you still see me where you are now?
And can you understand me when I talk to you?
This world feels so much emptier to me since you left.
Oh, Mama
I miss you.

Tell me, can you still see me where you are now?
And can you understand me when I talk to you?
This world feels so much emptier to me since you left.
Oh, Mama
I miss you
I miss you
