Mama. . . Mama. . .
How long has it been since I left your side
Mama. . . Mama. . .
How I remember those tears you cried
Mama. . . Mama. . .
Would I still see in you the woman who held me in her arms?
Mama. . . Mama. . .
Would you still see your little girl through the woman I've become?

I can still see you smiling bravely as the boat sailed away
Would you be proud of who I am today?

Mama. . . Mama. . .
The gods blessed you with only one child
Mama. . . Mama. . .
But oh the joy that came from your smile
Mama. . . Mama. . .
What kind of hopes did you have for me?
Mama. . . Mama. . .
What kind of woman did you want me to be?

You taught me to trust in the gods' will...
Even now, do you trust them still?

Mama. . . Mama. . .
You tried to show me how to be strong and true.
Mama. . . Mama. . .
If you saw me now, would you think I had failed you?
Mama. . . Mama. . .
I can still see you smiling bravely as the boat sailed away
Mama. . . Mama. . .
Would you be proud of who I am today?
