Mom, I found time stops
And the world doesn't tear my heart from yours
I know this rare thing
Grows, shakes me, yet calms
When your time is mine
Mom, sing with pride
'Cause I'm old enough now
To know
That truly, in every verse of yours
Wherever you are, I am
Mom, with you time stops
Our love's a rare thing
And you look after one kiss of mine
I know in every gesture of yours
Your heart is inside mine
Mom, sing with pride
'Cause I'm old enough now
To know
That truly, in every verse of yours
Wherever you are, I am
If I could rule the world
Freeze time whenever I wanted
I'd paint your heart with the colors of happiness
In every gesture of yours
Your heart is inside mine
Mom, sing with pride
'Cause I'm old enough now
To know
That truly, in every verse of yours
Mom
Our wait was worth it

SONG MEANING

Mariza’s “Mãe” is a glowing love-letter to her mother, celebrating a bond so powerful that even time itself seems to pause whenever they are together. The Portuguese fado star sings that her heart can never be separated from her mother’s, and every verse she performs is infused with shared memories, care, and pride. She recognizes that she is now “old enough” to understand the depth of her mother’s devotion, where every gesture, smile, and lullaby still shelters her like a warm embrace.

Imagine being able to freeze the clock, paint the world in bright colors, and bottle pure happiness. That is precisely the dream Mariza describes as she wishes she could command time just to savor each moment at her mother’s side. “Mãe” is not only a tribute to maternal love; it is also a reminder that the simplest acts— a song, a kiss, a word of encouragement— can echo across a lifetime, linking two hearts forever. Listen closely, and you will hear a timeless conversation between mother and child, set to the soulful sounds of modern fado. 🎶
