Mama (When My Dollies Have Babies) French, German, & Italian Title: Mama Composer(s): Sonny Bono Performer(s): Cher; Dalida
Mama when my dollies have babies And I am a big lady Mama will a prince come and take me away
When I said these things I believed in kings Then I didn't know love could hurt me so Slowly she replied, tears had filled her eyes Baby not so fast let your young life last
Mama when my dollies have babies And I am a big lady Mama will a prince come and take me away
I sang to her in fun, my teens had just began My age was not the same still we played the game Her eyes were filled with pride and slowly she replied Soon enough you'll be a very pretty bride
Mama when my dollies have babies And I am a big lady Mama will a prince come and take me away
Mama, will the hurt go away deep inside When I sang this song My poor world had gone along All my early dreams has turned to crystal streams My love it was last and more tears have past And left me just one thing a tender voice I sing
Mama when my dollies have babies And I am a big lady Mama will a prince come and take me away
I sometimes go to parties, although they're pretty tame I often say I'll stop away, but go there all the same But when the conj'rer gets there, then everything's O.K I'd call him Mr. Magic Man, if I had my own way
Oh Mr. Magic Man you fill us with surprise You do so many clever things, before our wondering eyes Watches, rings, and bracelets, they vanish out of sight You think they're lost, oh no they're not, they come back quite all right
Sometimes he wants assistance, I'm pleased as pleased can be If when he looks around the room, he casts his eyes on me To help him with his magic, I quite enjoy the fun And though I'm standing by his side, I don't know how it's done
Oh Mr. Magic Man you fill us with surprise You do so many clever things, before our wondering eyes From your hat comes rabbits, and purple turns to blue Oh Magic Man, you're marvellous, what clever things you do
He asked one night for Dad's watch, he gave it him of course He struck it with a hammer, and he struck it with such force The watch just flew to pieces, and one boy shouted "Goal" He gathered up the pieces, and restored the watch quite whole
Oh Mr. Magic Man you fill us with surprise You do so many clever things, before our wondering eyes I'm going to be a conj'rer myself when I am six 'cos my Dad said - on my birthday, he'll buy me a box of tricks

Mama, don't worry so much, darling mama No mama, don't cry, just say goodbye Can't have us both in tears
J'avais vingt ans Trente-deux dents Toutes mes illusions Un charme fou Dû avant tout A ma conservation
Mon horoscope était formel Pour un destin exceptionnel Oh! ma mère De coeur en coeur Sur chaque fleur Que m'offrait le printemps Je me posais Et me grisais de parfums enivrants Une nuit au plus, et adieu Aucune n'avait droit à mieux Oh! ma mère
J'étais novice et sans défense Bien plus fougueux que réfléchi Et n'avait pas plus d'expérience Qu'un oisillon tombé du nid Il n'y a que la foi qui sauve J'avais tout pour être un tombeur Mezza voce pour les alcôves Oeil de velours de bouche en coeur
Un samedi Chez des amis Je me suis entiché D'une ingénue Au corps menu Aux seins bien accrochés Qui me fit oublié un temps Qu'on est jamais assez prudent Oh! ma mère
Quand j'ai fourbi La panoplie De l'enjôleur parfait Le brin de cour Le rien d'humour Enfin le jeu complet Le fin du fin pour la cueillir J'aurais mieux fait de m'abstenir Oh! ma mère
Elle a cherché A deviné Quel signe était le mien Les ascendants Et le décan Dont je me fichais bien Elle était Vierge et moi Cancer Donc paraît-il complémentaires Oh! ma mère
D'après la position des astres Par rapport à l'astre solaire J'aurais dû voir qu'un grand désastre Entrait chez moi par Jupiter Mais comme elle était fine mouche Moi con comme un cheval de bois j'ai cru en entrant dans sa couche Avoir atteint le Nirvana Tandis qu'ému J'étais aux nues Ça s'est précipité Papa maman Et puis les bans Très vite publiés Messe, banquet, lune de miel Mais j'ai pas fait long feu au ciel Oh! ma mère
Et depuis lors Des astres morts Mieux vaut plus m'en parler Mars ou Vénus Phébé, Phébus Ça me sort par le nez Car je fut piégé c'est inouï Par le biais de l'astrologie Quelle affaire Oh! ma mère
Mama Composer(s): Tony Banks; Phil Collins; Mike Rutherford Originally performed by: Genesis Covered by various other artists

Oh! Ma Jolie Sarah English Title: Gentle Sarah Composer(s): Tommy Brown; Mick Jones; Phillipe Labro Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday; Marc Lavoine
Oh! Ma jolie Sarah Combien de temps encore Oh! Ma jolie Sarah Attendrais-je ton corps?
Si tu crois que je vais dépenser des nuits blanches Si tu crois que je suis un oiseau sur ta branche Tu vis dans l'illusion Car tout change et tout casse et tout passe et tout lasse Le désir, le plaisir se diluent dans l'espace Et tu n'auras plus rien
Oh! Ma pauvre Sarah Tu m'as donné ton corps, ton corps Oh! Ma pauvre Sarah Merci, merci pour ton effort Mais je vois dans tes yeux s'agrandir le brouillard Et je sais que tu sais qu'il est déjà tard Et c'est déjà la fin
C'est affreux, déplaisant, affligeant, désolant Comme nous sommes tous victimes du temps Mais je n'y suis pour rien
Oh! Ma pauvre Sarah Tu m'as donné ton corps Oh! Ma pauvre Sarah Merci, merci pour ton effort Car tout change et tout casse et tout passe et tout lasse Le désir, le plaisir se diluent dans l'espace Et je n'y suis pour rien
C'est affreux, déplaisant, affligeant, désolant Comme nous sommes tous victimes du temps Mais je n'y suis pour rien
Mama (Afraid To Say Goodbye) Composer(s): Ed King; Gary Rossington; Johnny Van Zant; Donnie Van Zant Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd
She'd wake us up early every mornin' She'd help us say our prayers every night She was always there to help us through the hard times We could count on her to make everything alright
I remember swingin' on the front porch Papa said there's somethin' I need to say tonight Mama's been sick for a long time Let's pray to god she can make it through the night
Mama don't wanna say goodbye She said wipe those tears from your eyes Mama I don't wanna say goodbye It was written in the heavens and the skies above Son I gave you birth showed you all my love I can't think of this life without you it's hard to try Mama I'm afraid to say goodbye
Now kids I've been hangin' on a long time I hate to leave this world before your grown Remember everything that I've taught you Remember all the good times when I'm gone
Mama don't wanna say goodbye She said wipe those tears from your eyes Mama I don't wanna say goodbye It was written in the heavens and the skies above Son I gave you birth showed you all my love I can't think of this life without you it's hard to try Mama I'm afraid to say goodbye
She whispered in my ear before she passed away Son it's time to be a man ain't nothin' left to say Jesus walked on water I know it's true When it comes time he'll call you home I hope your ready too
Mama don't wanna say goodbye She said wipe those tears from your eyes Mama I don't wanna say goodbye It was written in the heavens and the skies above Son I gave you birth showed you all my love I can't think of this life without you it's hard to try Mama I'm afraid to say goodbye

Je ne dors qu'à peine, j'ai des palpitations Encore une semaine et c'est la quarantaine Elle a tout pour elle, elle est bien trop belle Elle donnerait des ailes à un centenaire fidèle Je suis au bord du délire, pauvre de moi Je n'ai plus qu'une chose à dire, et c'est "Oh! là! là!"
C'est: Oh! là! là! Oh! là! là! Oh! là! là! que je l'aime
J'ai fais des piqûres, de l'acupuncture Un régime sans elle et quelques mois de cure Mais j'ai un problème, c'est toujours le même Je l'ai dans la peau et elle m'a dans la sienne Et même si ça n'est pas le martyr, ça le sera Je n'ai plus qu'une chose à dire et c'est "Oh! là! là!"
C'est: Oh! là! là! Oh! là! là! Oh! là! là! que je l'aime
Ça y est, j'agonise, son amour m'épuise Je ne tiendrai pas jusqu'au temps des cerises Mes amis, mes frères, voyez le notaire J'ai laissé chez lui mes volontés testamentaires Et quand il va vous les lire, ne riez pas Je n'avais qu'une chose à dire, c'était "Oh! là! là!"
C'était: Oh! là! là! Oh! là! là! Oh! là! là! que je l'aime

When the evening shadows fall And a lovely day is through Then with longing, I recall The years I spent with you
Mamma Solo per te la mia canzone vola Mamma Sarai con me, tu non sarai piu so-ola! Quanto ti voglio be-ene Queste parole d'amore Che ti sospira il mio cuore Forse non s'usano piu Oh Ma-amma Ma la conzone mia piu bella sei, tu! Sei, tu, la vi-ita E per la vita non ti lascio mai piu!
Safe in the glow of your-our love Sent from the hea-eavens abo-ove Nothing can ever repla-a-ace The warmth of your tender embra-ace

Oh! How I Wish I Could Sleep Until My Daddy Comes Home
Oh! How I Wish I Could Sleep Until My Daddy Comes Home Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; Joe Young; Pete Wendling Performer(s): Al Jolson
"Early to bed, Early to rise" I heard a mother say to her angel eyes "Dream of your Dad, My little lad Don't wake until the sun appears; in the skies" "I hate the sunshine," he said "It makes me get out of bed"
Two little eyes, Dotted with tears They tell a story full of darkness and fears Two shoulders bear Sorrow and care A weight too great for just a baby in years "Mamma," the laddie explains Sunshine brings nothing but pains"
Oh! how I wish I could sleep, until my Daddy comes home Oh! mamma why must we always be all alone? I miss him more every day How can you ask me to play You're always sighing and crying, since he went away Last night I heard Daddy call But I was dreaming thats all He kissed me, and he said, "Go to bed, my own" Oh! mamma, that's when I thought God made the night time too short Oh! how I wish I could sleep Until my Daddy comes home"

Dropped from my black Spitfire to my funeral barge Give me one kiss in apple-blossom Give me one wish, and I'd be wassailing In the orchard, my English rose Or with my shepherd, who'll bring me home Oh!
