Havanna Mamma [English translation]
Havanna Mamma [English translation]
Not really pleased with life
one day she wanted more
That's why she sneaked out extra early
when the boss looked away
She wanted to go far away from there
Away from the corner of terraced houses
She wanted to be reborn
She wanted to relive her dream
She had saved up for a year
Wrote a note which said:
''Goodbye, remember to feed the cat
one day you will understand.''
She left her husband and children and house
She never regretted her decision
(She just left)
On a beach in Havana
She became the mother of all the orphans
There she understood who she was
He had waited for several hours
when he finally understood
That his wife of seventeen years
had stopped serving by his table
How could she do that?
He tried to understand
Had he not given her everything
she ever pointed at?
Sure, he complained now and then
Like when the food was barely warm
He was almost always there
since the children were small
One day he would understand
She left her husband and children and house
She never regretted her decision
(She just left)
On a beach in Havana
She became the mother of all the orphans
There she understood who she was
The history started to spread
to the all the homes in the world
She turned into a hero a legend
to all the women with lazy men
Could they also do that
Just leave everything and go
Invest in themselves
see how far they could go
There were those who left
But most of them remained
Some of them changed their minds on the way
and returned after a day
But they all could understand
She left her husband and children and house
She never regretted her decision
(She just left)
On a beach in Havana
She became the mother of all the orphans
There she understood who she was
