MAMA

To every mama, there are words I want to tell you
To every mama, I wanna say thank you, and love you

The morning when I closed myself in my room
because I had no self-confidence at all
My mama came really close and called out my name
I whispered while I cried that I have no beauty or talents
"Don't say foolish things" she said angrily
Mama's face was unusually serious and seemed sad
And because of that I decided to believe her words

You did more for me than you did for yourself
Ho, ho, ho, oh, oh
also shared the pride that is untouchable by anyone

At desperate nights, alone, I close my eyes
and remember mama
Because you said "It's okay" and laughed,
I believe mama

You always wanted to know about everything
my friends I played with, the boy I dated, places I went,
the new skirt I bought, my cramming school,
the fun things I did, what I wanted to do in the future
I wouldn't listen to you always, and would interrupt you
"Don't push your dreams on your child"
I wanted to say this, but then have realized it wasn't like that

You've shared everything with me,
even more than what you'd keep for yourself
Ho, ho, ho, oh, oh
And also your heart that is strong even if alone

At desperate nights, alone, I close my eyes
and remember mama
Because you said "It's okay" and laughed,
I believe mama

My mama looked at my eyes and said that I'm a dreamer
And because I believe you at any time, I believe in those words too

At desperate nights, alone, I close my eyes
and remember mama
Because you said "It's okay" and laughed,
I believe mama

Just like an almighty person,
my mama always knew important things, whenever I'd ask
That's why she would never get confused and lost like me
But mama will surely not change, just like me
A woman who laughs and gets angry at silly things
She was in love, she saw dreams, she was just a woman
The only one in this world, my Mama.
