Mama stay
MAMA, STAY
Thousands people were nearby me
I shook the hands and kissed the bows
But I can’t remember exactly
What were the very words I chose
To tell them that your death was so
Thus you would have liked it to be
And the only thing they must know
Is that you died very happy
We drank
Making plans of your son’s wedding
You were so proud and even more
More than a heart is surviving
Maybe that’s why I can’t believe
You didn’t struggle for your life
You knew I needed you to live
Now, how can I just stay alive ?
I would have liked to say
Please stay
Mama, please, don’t die
Your death is a true lie
Stay for me another day
Mama, please, please, stay…
Thousands regrets, thousands letters
From the ones who won’t forget
You were the sun in the winters
For the helpless an advocate
You were for me much more than that
More than a mother or a friend
More than advices often flat
My beginning may be your end
All these things I couldn’t tell them
Because I didn’t realize
That these thousands people all came
To make you take another size
It’s sure you won your wings to fly
All along these last fifty years
But please explain and tell me why
I’m so lonely within my tears.
I would have liked to say
Please stay
Mama, please, don’t die
Your death is a true lie
Stay for me another day
Mama, please, please, stay…
Thousands people were nearby me
After I said to you « good bye »
You can be sure your grave will not be
The apology of my why
You will be for ever a question
Why did you have to die by now
I know the answer’s like an ocean
Too deep to respect any law.
I would have liked to say
Please stay
Mama, please, don’t die
Your death is a true lie
Stay for me another day
Mama, please, please, stay…
(Again and again…till the end).
For my loving mother…
