《Mamma(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Mamma - Nana Mouskouri (娜娜·穆斯库莉)

[00:00:04] This is the tale of a little boy

[00:00:09] Wandering far from his home

[00:00:14] Most of his family were with him then

[00:00:19] And nothing but life did they own

[00:00:24] Tortured by war in their native land

[00:00:28] Their only recourse was to flight

[00:00:33] Tracing the path of the sun by day

[00:00:38] And led by the north star at night

[00:00:42] Onward they pressed

[00:00:44] To the promised land

[00:00:47] Not knowing if that was the way

[00:00:52] And none of the children

[00:00:54] Could understand

[00:00:57] And this little boy used to say

[00:01:01] Hey hey hey

[00:01:04] Mamma where do we go from here

[00:01:09] Mamma why can' t we stay

[00:01:14] Mamma is daddy very near

[00:01:18] Mamma why do you pray

[00:01:26] Down came the winter

[00:01:28] The food was scarce

[00:01:30] The people were falling like flies

[00:01:35] Disease helped starvation

[00:01:37] Make matters worse

[00:01:39] And parents resorted to lies

[00:01:44] Hush your mamma will soon be well

[00:01:49] Though all they can do is to wait

[00:01:54] And one little boy hears the doctor tell

[00:01:59] The others he thinks it' s too late

[00:02:03] It' s too late

[00:02:06] Mamma he whispers quietly

[00:02:11] Mamma you' re looking old

[00:02:16] Mamma why don' t you answer me

[00:02:20] Mamma your hands feel cold

[00:02:27] He rushes out into the chilly night

[00:02:32] He can't believe what he has been told

[00:02:37] The tears in his eyes

[00:02:39] Start to blur his sight

[00:02:41] And freeze on his face with the cold

[00:02:46] But in the next camp

[00:02:49] There is a mother mild

[00:02:51] Who's mourning a son passed away

[00:02:56] And fate brings the cries

[00:02:58] Of the little child

[00:03:01] To her just as he starts to say

[00:03:05] Hey hey hey

[00:03:08] Mamma she knows what she must do

[00:03:13] Mamma she thinks of her

[00:03:18] Mamma I must take the place of you

[00:03:22] And take him into my care

[00:03:27] Mamma oh oh

[00:03:32] Mamma oh oh

[00:03:36] Mamma oh oh

[00:03:41] Mamma oh oh
