Maman ou maman
Qui m'a dit de ne pas pleurer quand papa est parti pour une toute autre vie c'était
Maman ou maman
Et qui ma dit comment prie comment faire pour donne comment faire pour aime
C'était toujours
Maman ou maman
Maman maman an
C'était maman ou maman
Ou maman c'était maman
Qui le jour des gradue attendait toute ces filles et mères résultats domicile t'ai toi
Maman ou maman
Et qui m'éveille du lundi au vendredi même les jours de pluie pour que j'étudie
Maman maman
Qui m'a appris à aimer ma soeur et mon petit frérot qui a grandi depuis hier
Qui te voit partir aujourd'hui pour la vie pleurant sur le pied de ton lit c'était moi
Maman maman oh maman oh maman c'était maman
The song "Maman" by Les Bel Air is a heartfelt tribute to a mother's love and sacrifices. The first verse speaks about how the mother was responsible for teaching her child how to sing and taught him/her everything he/she knows. It also highlights the important role she played when the father left their family. The second verse talks about how the mother comforted her child when he/she was sad and taught him/her the values of prayer, giving, and love. The chorus reinforces the message that everything the child has ever received and every role model he/she ever had was always his/her mother.
The third verse goes on to mention how the mother was always present for him/her, even during the most important events of his/her life, like graduation day. The mother also nudged the child on to study and learn during the weekdays, even during inclement weather. She also taught the child the importance of loving and supporting one's siblings, no matter how much they may have grown. The final lines speak about how the mother is the one who is crying on the child's bed as he/she leaves for the next phase of his/her life. Through all of this, the singer reinforces how much he/she loves and appreciates his/her mother and thanks her for everything she has ever done.
