As child artist he was charming and soon many other child artists like Wilma followed in his footsteps.
He is still singing, but now with his 'adult' name Hein Simons. Schlager music is still his main signature.
Mama
Heintje Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Du sollst doch nicht um deinen Jungen weinen
Mama
Einst wird das Schicksal wieder uns vereinen
Ich wird es nie vergessen
Was ich an dir hab' besessen
Dass es auf Erden nur Eine gibt
Die mich so heiß hat geliebt
Mama
Und bringt das Leben mir auch Kummer und Schmerz
Dann denk ich nur an dich
Es betet ja für mich, oh Mama, dein Herz
Tage der Jugend vergehen
Schnell wird der Jüngling ein Mann
Träume der Jugend verwehen
Dann fängt das Leben erst an
Mama, ich will keine Tränen sehen
Wenn ich von dir dann muss gehen
Mama
Du sollst doch nicht um deinen Jungen weinen
Mama
Einst wird das Schicksal wieder uns vereinen
Ich wird es nie vergessen
Was ich an dir hab' besessen
Dass es auf Erden nur Eine gibt
Die mich so heiß hat geliebt
Mama
Und bringt das Leben mir auch Kummer und Schmerz
Dann denk ich nur an dich
Es betet ja für mich, oh Mama, dein Herz

The song "Mama" by Heintje is a beautiful tribute to the love and bond between a mother and her son. The lyrics are simple, yet they convey a strong message. The opening lines urge the mother not to cry for her son, as fate will bring them back together again. The singer speaks of the love he received from his mother, and how no one else can love him as deeply. He promises to never forget this love and cherishes the memories of their time together.
As the song progresses, it talks about how quickly time passes, and how the singer has now grown up to be a man. He tells his mother that he doesn't want her to cry when he has to leave her. The song ends with the singer reassuring his mother that no matter what life brings, he will always think of her love and her heart will pray for him. This song celebrates the love, sacrifice, and dedication of a mother and how that bond stays with her child throughout their life.

I think life is funny sometimes. I'm 28 now and I was about 10 years old when my dad played me this song for the first time. We were a pension family for foreign hockey players (mostly Norway, Czech Republic, Russia) and my dad would always try to dig some foreign songs for them. I think Heintje was really popular in Canada when my dad was younger, so I think he already knew him. He would play 4-5 of these songs and I would sing them in the backseat, having no idea what I was saying or what language I was singing in. Really nice memories. I usually play these songs when I have to clean the house now haha.

Mama, je bent ons op zo'n brute manier ontnomen, in de bloei van je leven, slechts 37 jaar oud in 1970. Rust rustig uit en op een dag zullen we je mooie gezicht weer zien. xo
