Lyrics of Mamma Pappa barn - Molly Maguire

Mamma Pappa barn (original)

Han stod dr en dag som en blixt ifrn klar himmel
Med storm och eld vann han hennes hand
Hon fljde sitt hjrta istllet fr sin klokhet
Han charmade skrattade och lt henne trivas
Med lften om lyx och pengar
Krlek och samhrighet, smltes hon ned
Jag hr min pappas ord, nr han blir satt i jord
En sista fest, ett glas, fr att rensa min hals
Men min stackars mor, hon har ett sorgeband
Knutet hrt omkring sitt hjrta rrat av sorg
Hon lmnade allt som hon hade byggt upp
Vnner och jobb, barn som flyttat ut Dom tv tillsammans ville skapa ett hem
Flytta bort och brja om p nytt
Tyvrr s sprack den drmmen
Krlekens eld blev sval, och dom gled isr
Jag hr min pappas ord, nr han blir satt i jord
En sista fest, ett glas, fr att rensa min hals
Men min stackars mor, hon har ett sorgeband
Knutet hrt omkring sitt hjrta rrat av sorg
Deras liv som par r nu ver
Hon lever sitt liv fr sig sjlv
Han har hittat en annan
Hoppas att han har det bra, fr sin egen skull
Jag hr min pappas ord, nr han blir satt i jord
En sista fest, ett glas, fr att rensa min hals
Men min stackars mor, hon har ett sorgeband
Knutet hrt omkring sitt hjrta rrat av sorg
Jag har min syster kvar, och min storebror
Dom har jag alltid haft, och kommer nog alltid att ha Men vi som ni, r bara mnniskor
Och en dag ska vi f vila… hos Moder Jord

(translation)

He stood there one day like a bolt from the blue
With storm and fire he won her hand
She followed her heart instead of her wisdom
He charmed laughed and let her enjoy herself
With the air of luxury and money
Love and togetherness, she melted down
I hear my father's words when he is buried
One last feast, a glass, to clear my throat
But my poor mother, she has a mourning band
The knot around his heart stirred with grief
She left everything she had built up
Friends and jobs, kids who moved out They both wanted to make a home together
Move away and start again
Unfortunately, that dream was shattered
The man's fire grew cold, and they drifted apart
I hear my father's words when he is buried
One last feast, a glass, to clear my throat
But my poor mother, she has a mourning band
The knot around his heart stirred with grief
Their life as a couple r now ver
She lives her life for herself
He has found another
Hope he's doing well, for his own sake
I hear my father's words when he is buried
One last feast, a glass, to clear my throat
But my poor mother, she has a mourning band
The knot around his heart stirred with grief
I still have my sister, and my older brother
I have always had them, and probably always will have But we, like you, are only human
And one day we shall rest... with Mother Earth
