Mamma, tell me what is wrong
and why are you so sad
Mamma, is it work again
thats making you feel bad
Mamma, is there something I can help you with
or should I rather let you be
is there trouble perhaps with me?

Mamma, its evening now
and peace is all around
Mamma, from the window you can see
a stirring in the town
Mamma, a cup of coffees what we need
and I can light your candle too
you ought to know how much I love you

Mamma, now its spring again
with flowrs whereer you see
Mamma, are you thinking of those years
when you were young like me
Mamma, I know Im always asking these things
but, now Ill quit nagging you
I know quite well that you love me too

Mamma
