Oh mama, oh mama

It's been a while since we've seen each other
Too long since we've lost sight of each other
I want you to hold me in your arms
To tell me out loud what people think in whispers
Time has separated us, but we are nothing without each other
If dad has left, I know it's not your fault
I'm sad, I'm writing you this melody, ah-ah
I love you more than you can imagine (can't even imagine)

Oh mama, oh mama
Mama, I have my reasons (reasons)
Even if I know you're right (right)

I don't want you to cry, to be sad
Tonight, I'm thoughtful so I'm thinking of you
Not being able to see you, it hurts me mama
Talking to you, writing to you, I miss it sometimes
Tonight, I'm sad, my heart hurts without you

Oh mama, oh mama
Mama, I have my reasons
Even if I know you're right

Your son has become an artist, did you see mama?
I'm not messing up anymore, I made dad proud
I put the platinum record in the living room
Your little girl is waiting for you at home (home)
Don't worry my little brother is fine
He's grown up, he's just like me
Tell me when you're coming back, we miss you mama
You don't have the right to be gone this long

Close your eyes, imagine
What you feel, I feel it too
Close your eyes, imagine
What you feel, I feel it too

Oh mama, oh mama
Mama, I have my reasons
Even if I know you're right

I don't want you to cry, to be sad
Tonight, I'm thoughtful so, I'm thinking of you
Not being able to see you, it hurts me mama
Talking to you, writing to you, I miss it sometimes
Tonight, I'm sad, my heart hurts without you

Oh mama, oh mama
Mama, I have my reasons
Even if I know you're right

I don't want you to cry, to be sad
You know your illness is eating me up
If you're drowning, for you, I'll dive
I want you to fight, not to give up
Promise me, don't lie

Oh mama, oh mama
Mama, I have my reasons
Even if I know you're right
