Le Mamme Lyrics in English Toto Cutugno
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Mamme by Toto Cutugno from Italian to English.
Due braccia grandi per abbandonarmi dentro
Two big arms I could sink into
Se la notte avevo un po' paura
If I was a bit scared at night
Occhi profondi per cui ero un libro aperto
Deep eyes to which I was an open book
Senza dire neanche una parola
Without saying even a single word
Aveva mille modi buoni per svegliarmi
She had a thousand gentle ways to wake me
Quando non volevo andare a scuola
When I didn't want to go to school
E mi chiedevo mentre le guardavo I piedi
And I'd wonder while I looked at her feet
'Questo angelo perché non vola?'
"Why doesn't this angel fly?"
Le mamme sognano
Moms dream
Le mamme invecchiano
Moms get old
Le mamme si amano
Moms are loved
Ma ti amano di più
But they love you more
E così piccolo
And so small
Io avrei affrontato il mondo
I'd have faced the world
Guai a chi si avvicina e chi la tocca
Woe to anyone who comes near or touches her
E che parole dolci come quelle torte al forno
And words as sweet as those oven-baked cakes
Che veniva l'acquolina in bocca
They made my mouth water
Mi rimboccava fino al naso le coperte
She'd pull the blankets up to my nose
Se pioveva avevo un po' paura
If it rained I was a bit scared
E mi tuffavo nel suo letto a braccia aperte
And I'd dive into her bed with open arms
Ad ogni tuono forte mi stringeva
At every loud thunder she'd hold me tight
Le mamme sognano
Moms dream
Le mamme invecchiano
Moms get old
Le mamme si amano
Moms are loved
Ma ti amano di più
But they love you more
Le mamme guardano nel cielo un aeroplano
Moms look at a plane in the sky
E quel treno sulla ferrovia
And that train on the railroad
Parlano e sognano del figlio che è lontano
They talk and dream about the son who's far away
Davanti a una fotografia
In front of a photograph
Le mamme piangono e si asciugano gli occhiali
Moms cry and wipe their glasses
Mentre gli anni se ne vanno via
While the years slip away
Se pensi a quando ti tenevano per mano
If you think of when they held your hand
Sembra ieri, che malinconia
Feels like yesterday, such melancholy
Le mamme sognano
Moms dream
Le mamme invecchiano
Moms get old
Le mamme si amano
Moms are loved
Ma ti amano di più
But they love you more
Le mamme sognano, mm-mm
Moms dream, mm-mm
Le mamme invecchiano
Moms get old
Ma ti amano di più
But they love you more
Le mamme sognano
Moms dream
Le mamme invecchiano
Moms get old
Le mamme si amano
Moms are loved
Ma ti amano di più
But they love you more
