Maman Lyrics

Maman Lyrics by TETERO LAURETTE

English Translation

I am no longer that toddler
A lot has changed about me
Many things happened to me
Among those you used to tell me about
Asking God to protect me from
I get often confused
I fail to speak up
Unable to express myself
Unable to understand myself
Mother the way you would pray for me
Since I was a newborn
I need I n ow more than I did then
Mother I need you now more than when you would breastfeed me
Mother hold my hand now more than when you would breastfeed me

That crown you told me about
That medal of obedience
Is what I am pursuing
But mother I get attacked
In many different ways
I need new strength to defeat that evil
You prayed it wouldn’t catch me
I get often confused
I fail to speak up
Unable to express myself
Unable to understand myself
That way you would pray for me then
I beg you do it again
Because I need it now more than I did then

Mother I need you now more than when you would breastfeed me
Mother hold my hand now more than when you would breastfeed me
I get often confused
I fail to speak up
Now more than when you would breastfeed me
When you would breastfeed me
When you would breastfeed me
