Genius English Translations
Alyona Alyona — Мамо (Mother) (English Translation)
[Intro]
There is a new film in my head
It’s nominated at Cannes (at Cannes)
Your touch is like morphine through my veins
You’re so perfect (perfect)
You know, how many things have already been said (been said)
They’d admonish if you repeat it (they’d admonish)
My dear ever young (aha)
You, you’re so perfect

[Verse 1]
I remember your embrace, I saw it yesterday in my dreams (Mom)
The grey in your hair, but always bright brown eyes (Mom)
Wherever I am, you’re the one warming it up (Mom)
I know love will save this world but for now I keep telling you

[Chorus]
“Thank you, thank you, thank you Mom!
I thank you for everything. Want to burst into tears
I know it frightens you, but don’t worry
Your daughter will put this game upside down
We’re different (different)
We’re all unique no matter how close we can be
Nerves of steel, that’s true
We’ve been through happiness and fear
[Verse 2]
When you’re around we’re like sisters
When you’re not, my heart still knows who is waiting for me out there
I’ve hurt you so deeply with my words
These black holes will remain forever. I’m sorry, Mom
Wherever however long I have been there for:
I was missing regularly, I’m like one big problem
I’ve been putting myself on the line
Every time I was coming back to you
Now it’s all gone
It’s like my routine is getting luxury style
There are lots of stereotypes around —
Like father, like son… You know, let them
Tell me that. No sense. They’re blind, mom, empty-hearted
They’re not taught, they will get it eventually
You know, it’s beautiful — you gaze on water
And like a fairy tale character
You share their pain, read them like an open book
I know it’s complicated, Mom
Give them the light of your own temple!
Humor their heads and their lost souls
How did we live before that, we were blind with no fear
Pulling the devil by the tail
Your children are lost in the dark
The children of Earth
[Outro]
I am who I am and you are who you are
This is all on you, Mom
Those who forget where they come from
Will be the first to throw a stone at
I am who I am and you are who you are
This is all on you, Mom
Those who forget where they come from
Will be the first to throw a stone at
