Mama English translation
von MoTrip

I'm standing in front of a gorge and have to build a bridge out of reflex
Too far from home to look back
Cheated out of my future with one blow
But you raised me too well to hit back

Mom, and you won't wait in vain
Your boy is coming home, the street didn't get me
You said it's only just begun
Because small flowers grow and break through the concrete

And I pray that time never passes, Mom
You showed me how to live, Mom
I'm so grateful, because of you I dared to venture out
When Dad was sick, you rebuilt us

Your love is immense, Mom
You hold me tight when we fly through the storm
And everything will bend and deform
Your love remains the same, without it I am lost


Born in Lebanon, the crises have shaped us
Behind us is the war, that's why we flee forward
You react with peace to the anger
You are everything I am, there is only one word for that
Mama

My stomach is rumbling, it's cold
I wear the turban around my neck and fight for our bread, hey Mama
Back against the wall, poison in my hand
You have a criminal son, hey Mama

After Dad died, Abi went to jail
And money became scarce, hey Mama
I give you my heart and my blood
I swear on my mother, I'll go to hell after death

For Mom
For Mom
For Mom

(Ah) I grew up amongst high-rise buildings
Believe me, these eyes have seen more drugs than all (than all)
Where I come from,
people like you aren't welcome, like cops (like cops)


A brother fresh out of jail (out of jail)
And three are found guilty (are found guilty)
Caught red-handed at the scene of the crime
The German Shepherd bites him through her bones (through her bones)

Costs are rising each quarter (Costs are rising each quarter)
Electricity, water, gas (Electricity, water, gas)
While drug prices are falling
Amphetamine, cocaine, hashish and weed (hashish and weed)

Adopted from the gutter
Offenbach am Main, yes, that's where I was born (that's where I was born)
Mom, don't worry, I'll take care of you (I'll take care of you)
I'd kill for you, Mama (Mama)

My stomach is rumbling, it's cold
I wear the turban around my neck and fight for our bread, hey Mama

I give you my heart and my blood
I swear on my mother, I'll go to hell after death
