Mamá María Lyrics in English Ricchi E Poveri

Home / Lyrics Translation / Ricchi E Poveri / Mamá María

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mamá María by Ricchi E Poveri from Spanish to English.

A white cat in a good mood

An owl on the TV

Smoke in the air, smell of incense

Her sweet eyes of intense pink

She gives filters against being single

And the recipes of joy

She reads fate in the stars

She tells you only, only lovely things

Ma, ma, ma

Mamma Maria, ma

Ma, ma, ma

Mamma Maria, ma

Ma, ma, ma

Mamma Maria, ma

Ma, ma, ma

Mamma Maria, ma

In my future tell me what there's

It'd be great if I were a king

And that blonde American

Either she falls in love or I turn her into a frog

I'm dying of curiosity

Tell me a bit of the truth

I want to know if with this love

I'll be happy or maybe it'll be worse

Ma, ma, ma

Mamma Maria, ma

Ma, ma, ma

Mamma Maria, ma

Ma, ma, ma

Mamma Maria, ma

Ma, ma, ma

Mamma Maria, ma

I don't have a dime

But I'd like

To buy the sky

To give it to her

And fortune's spell

To buy ourselves the face of the moon

Ma, ma, ma

Mamma Maria, ma

Ma, ma, ma

Mamma Maria, ma

Ma, ma, ma

Mamma Maria, ma

Ma, ma, ma

Mamma Maria, ma

Ma, ma, ma

Mamma Maria, ma

Ma, ma, ma

Mamma Maria, ma

Ma, ma, ma

Mamma Maria, ma

Ma, ma, ma

Mamma Maria, ma

SONG MEANING

Mamma Maria invites us into a playful, slightly mystical living room where a cheerful white cat, a watchful owl and swirls of incense set the stage for a fortune-telling session. The legendary seer, Mamma Maria, reads the stars, hands out charms “against being single” and promises to reveal only beautiful things. Surrounded by pink-tinted eyes and sweet aromas, she embodies that friendly neighborhood witch everyone secretly hopes is real.

The singer sits across from her, brimming with questions: Will I become a king? Will that American blonde fall in love with me—or will I have to turn her into a frog? Even though he is broke, he dreams of buying the sky to gift it to his beloved and securing a spell that snags the very face of the moon. The whole song shines with 80s Italo-pop optimism, reminding us that love, luck and laughter grow stronger when seasoned with a dash of harmless magic and a generous scoop of imagination.
