Hey Ma English translation
von Silbermond

An old photo in my hand
Haven't seen it for ages
The three of us, '89
Baltic Sea sand between our toes

And you are so beautiful, so wonderfully beautiful
Everything seems like a picture-perfect life
But today I know, it wasn't always easy
Gave up so much, but achieved so, so much

Hey, Mom, hey, Mom, everything I am
I am because you exist
Hey, Mom, thank you for everything
To you and to a long life

Hey, hey, Mom
Hey, hey, Mom, ah-ah, ah
Hey, hey, Mom
Hey, hey, Mom, hey, Mom, hey, Mom


Today I sit here as a mom myself in Lobbe
Notice how rough the sea sometimes is (sometimes is)
I just imagine, what will it be like
When you are no longer here?

And yes, yes, I know, it wasn't always easy
You there, me here, and worlds between us
But all the mischief in my head, the pride and defiance
The tears and the strength, I know who I got all that from

Hey, Mom, hey, Mom, everything I am
I am because you exist
Hey, Mom, thank you for everything
To you and to a long life

Hey, hey, Mom
Hey, hey, Mom, ah-ah, ah
Hey, hey, Mom
Hey, hey, Mom, hey, Mom, hey, Mom

Hey, Mom, hey, Mom
Hey, Mom, hey, Mom
