Текст
Mom was cooking bread,
she wore a dirty raggety scarf around her head.
Always had her stockings low,
rolled to her feet, she just didn't know.
She wore a sloppy dress,
No matter how she tried, she always looked a mess.
Out of the pot she ate, never used a fork or a dinner plate.
I was always so ashamed for my uptown friends to see her,
Afraid one day when I was grown that I would be her.
In a college town, away from home, a new identity I found.
Said I was born elite, with maids and servants at my feet.
I must have been insane,
I lied and said my mom died on a weekend trip to Spain.
She never got out of the house, never even boarded a train.
I married a guy, was livin' high,
I didn't want him to know her,
She had a grandson, two years old,
I never even showed her.
I'm Livin' In Shame, Momma, I miss you.
I'm Livin' In Shame, Momma, I miss you.
Came the telegram,
mom passed away while making homemade jam.
Before she died, she cried to see me by her side.
She always did her best, Ah! cookin', cleanin',
always in the same old dress.
Workin' hard down on her knees,
always try'n to please.
Momma! Momma! Do you hear me, Momma!
Momma! Momma! Do you hear me, Momma!
Перевод
Мама пекла хлеб
она носила вокруг головы грязный лохматый шарф.
Чулки всегда были низко,
свернуты к ногам, она просто не знала.
Она носила небрежное платье,
Как бы она ни старалась, она всегда выглядела неряшливо.
Она ела из кастрюли, никогда не пользовалась вилкой или тарелкой.
Мне всегда было так стыдно за своих друзей из города. Чтобы увидеть ее,
Боюсь, что однажды, когда я вырасту, я стану ею.
В студенческом городке, вдали от дома, я обрел новую личность.
Сказал, что родился элитой, со служанками и слугами у моих ног.
Я, должно быть, сошла с ума
Я солгала и сказала, что моя мама умерла во время поездки на выходные в Испанию.
Она никогда не выходила из дома, даже не садилась в поезд .
Я вышла замуж за парня, жила на широкую ногу,
Я не хотела, чтобы он ее знал,
У нее был внук, два года,
Я ей даже не показывался.
Я живу в стыде, мама, я скучаю по тебе.
Я живу в стыде, мама, я скучаю по тебе.
Пришла телеграмма,
мама прошла ушла, готовя домашнее варенье.
Перед смертью она плакала, видя меня рядом с собой.
Она всегда старалась изо всех сил, Ах! готовит, убирает
всегда в одном и том же старом платье.
Упорно работает на коленях
всегда старается угодить.
Мама! Мама! Ты меня слышишь, мама!
Мама! Мама! Ты меня слышишь, мама!
