Mamma Lyrics - Nana Mouskouri

This is the tale of a little boy 

Wandering far from his home 

Most of his family were with him then 

And nothing but life did they own 

Tortured by war in their native land 

Their only recourse was to flight 

Tracing the path of the sun by day 

And led by the north star at night 

Onward they pressed to the promised land 

Not knowing if that was the way 

And none of the children could understand 

And this little boy used to say 

Hey, hey, hey

Mama, where do we go from here 

Mamma, why can' t we stay 

Mamma, is daddy very near 

Mamma, why do you pray 

 

Down came the winter, the food was scarce 

The people were falling like flies 

Disease helped starvation make matters worse 

And parents resorted to lies 

Hush, your mamma will soon be well 

Though all they can do is to wait 

And one little boy hears the doctor tell 

The others he thinks it' s too late 

It' s too late 

 

Mamma, he whispers quietly 

Mamma, you' re looking old 

Mamma, why don' t you answer me 

Mamma, your hands feel cold 

 

He rushes out into the chilly night 

He can' t beleive what he has been told 

The tears in his eyes start to blur his sight 

And freeze on his face with the cold 

But in the next camp, ther is a mother mild 

Who' s mourning a son passed away 

And fate brings the cries of the little child 

To her just as he starts to say 

Hey, hey, hey 

 

Mamma, she knows what she must do 

mamma, she thinks of her 

Mamma, I must take the place of you 

And take him into my care 

 

Mamma, oh oh...
