Mamy Blue
Pop Tops Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
who wandered off at twenty one
it's sad to find myself at home
oh ma.
If I could only hold your hand
and say I'm sorry yes I am
I'm sure you really understand
oh
where are you now.
Oh
Mamy
oh
Mamy - Mamy - blue
oh
Mamy - Blue
The house we shared upon the hill
seems lifeless but it's standing still
and memories of childhood days
fill my mind
oh Mamy
Mamy
Mamy.
I've seen enough of different lights
seen tired days and lonely nights
and now without you by my side
I'm lost
how can I survive.
Oh
Mamy...
Nobody who takes care of me
who loves me
who has time for me
the walls look silent at my face
oh
so dead is our place.
The sky is dark
the wind is rough
and now I know what I have lost
the house is not a home at all
I'm leaving
the future seems so small.
The Pop Tops' song "Mamy Blue" relays the story of a lonely man tormented by the weight of inconsistent love, which he tries to overcome by taking a journey down memory lane. The opening verse highlights a young man's alienation from his mother, as he left home when he was just 21 years old. The regret of leaving home is emphasized in the chorus that says, "If I could only hold your hand, And say I'm sorry, yes I am, I'm sure you really understand, Oh, where are you now, Oh, Mamy." Here, he tries to tell his mother how he feels and how much he misses her.
The second verse delves into the singer's recollection of his past life with his mother in their shared house, which now appears lifeless, with memories of his childhood days filling his mind. In the third verse, the man acknowledges that life has not been kind, as he has endured weariness, lonely nights, and different lights, without his mother's care and support. The song ends on a melancholic note, with the realization that without the presence of his mother, the future seems bleak.
