Mama Lyrics in English by M. Pokora
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mama by M. Pokora from French to English.
Maman a peur, les photos s'effacent
Mom's scared, the photos fade
Sa vie s'emmêle dans le fil du temps
Her life gets tangled in the thread of time
Les fleurs se fanent, les souvenirs se cassent
The flowers wilt, the memories break
Dans son regard je n'me reconnais pas
In her gaze I don't recognize myself
La pluie ne cesse
The rain doesn't stop
De tomber sur ton dos, sur tes joues, relève la tête
From falling on your back, on your cheeks, raise your head
Mama
Mama
Qu'est-ce qu'il te reste?
What do you have left?
De ta vie, de ces morceaux de nous, relève la tête
Of your life, of these pieces of us, raise your head
Mama
Mama
Oh mama, oh mama
Oh mama, oh mama
Regarde-moi, parle-moi
Look at me, talk to me
Oh mama, oh mama
Oh mama, oh mama
Compte sur moi, parle-moi
Count on me, talk to me
Oh mama
Oh mama
Maman est seule, les visages défilent
Mom's alone, faces pass by
Le vide à emporté son sourire
The emptiness has taken her smile
Elle se raccroche à nous quand elle dérive
She clings to us when she drifts
Maman a quitté l'navire
Mom has left the ship
Dans ses bagages elle n'emporte rien
In her bags she takes nothing
La pluie ne cesse
The rain doesn't stop
De tomber sur ton dos, sur tes joues, relève la tête
From falling on your back, on your cheeks, raise your head
Mama
Mama
Qu'est-ce qu'il te reste?
What do you have left?
De ta vie, de ces morceaux de nous, relève la tête
Of your life, of these pieces of us, raise your head
Oh, mama
Oh, mama
Oh mama, oh mama
Oh mama, oh mama
Regarde-moi, parle-moi
Look at me, talk to me
Oh mama, oh mama
Oh mama, oh mama
Compte sur moi, parle-moi
Count on me, talk to me
Oh mama
Oh mama
Oh ma mama, oh ma mama, oh ma mama
Oh my mama, oh my mama, oh my mama
(Oh mama) oh ma mama, oh ma mama, oh ma mama
(Oh mama) oh my mama, oh my mama, oh my mama
Oh mama, oh mama
Oh mama, oh mama
Regarde-moi, parle-moi
Look at me, talk to me
Oh mama, oh mama
Oh mama, oh mama
Compte sur moi, parle-moi
Count on me, talk to me
Oh mama
Oh mama
Did you like this lyrics translation?
navire — ship
Navire translates to "ship" or "vessel". While not an extremely rare word, its use in this context is particularly poignant and metaphorical, making it stand out.
In the song, the line "Maman a quitté l'navire" (Mom has left the ship) is a powerful metaphor for a mother losing her grip on reality or her memories. It evokes a sense of departure, loss, and perhaps a journey into an unknown state, making it a very evocative and memorable word in the lyrics.
