ママ (Mama) – Mama

from Mama single.

——

When did I start calling mother as “mum”?
I can’t remember

When I became an adult, the chances for us to talk grew even lesser
Then, I left home

Sometimes you send me long, meaningless messages, please stop that
But I know, you gave up everything to protect me

Mama… Mama…
There are nights when I want to shout for you
Mama… Mama…
Please embrace me
Even if I can’t say it out loud anymore

Mum gave birth to me when you were still young, at 26 years old
Also quitting your job

I was a crybaby, a weak child who needed lots of support
I’m really sorry

Sometimes I wonder, what have you given up in order to raise me?
Tell me, am I close to your idea of an ideal son?

Mama… Mama…
There are nights when I want to shout for you
Mama… Mama…
Please embrace me
Even if I can’t say it out loud anymore
