Mother Knows Best [Finnish translation]

Mother Gothel:

You want to go outside? Why, Rapunzel...!

Look at you, as fragile as a flower

Still a little sapling, just a sprout

You know why we stay up in this tower

Rapunzel:

I know but...

Mother Gothel:

That's right, to keep you safe and sound, dear

Guess I always knew this day was coming

Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest

Soon, but not yet

Rapunzel:

But --

Mother Gothel:

Shh!

Trust me, pet

Mother knows best

Mother knows best

Listen to your mother

It's a scary world out there

Mother knows best

One way or another

Something will go wrong, I swear

Ruffians, thugs

Poison ivy, quicksand

Cannibals and snakes

The plague

Rapunzel:

No!

Mother Gothel:

Yes!

Rapunzel:

But --

Mother Gothel:

Also large bugs

Men with pointy teeth, and

Stop, no more, you'll just upset me

Mother's right here

Mother will protect you

Darling, here's what I suggest

Skip the drama

Stay with mama

Mother knows best

Go ahead, get trampled by a rhino

Go ahead, get mugged and left for dead

Me, I'm just your mother, what do I know?

I only bathed and changed and nursed you

Go ahead and leave me, I deserve it

Let me die alone here, be my guest

When it's too late

You'll see, just wait

Mother knows best

Mother knows best

Take it from your mumsy

On your own, you won't survive

Sloppy, underdressed

Immature, clumsy

Please, they'll eat you up alive

Gullible, naive

Positively grubby

Ditzy and a bit, well, hmm vague

Plus, I believe

Gettin' kinda chubby

I'm just saying 'cause I wuv you

Mother understands

Mother's here to help you

All I have is one request

Rapunzel?

Rapunzel:

Yes?

Mother Gothel:

Don't ever ask to leave this tower again.

Rapunzel:

Yes, Mother.

Mother Gothel:

I love you very much, dear.

Rapunzel:

I love you more.

Mother Gothel:

I love you most.

Don't forget it

You'll regret it

Mother knows best
