Michael Bublé’s introduction to the music of the swing era came to him through his grandfather, who filled his grandson’s ears with the sounds of The Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and others. As Bublé eagerly absorbed the recordings, he began to realize that he wanted to be a singer and that this style of music, virtually foreign to his own generation, was what he wanted to perform.
With his grandfather’s assistance, Bublé soon learned a whole catalog of tunes and gained experience and exposure by singing as a guest with several local bands. While still in his teen years, he won the Canadian Youth Talent Search, released several independent albums, and performed in a musical review titled Swing that traveled across the U.S. It wasn’t long before Bublé was introduced to Grammy-winning producer David Foster during a famous Canadian wedding of Brian Mulroney’s daughter Caroline Mulroney. He later signed his first major recording contract with Reprise Records after that encounter.
The two Canadians began work on a debut album that would incorporate Bublé’s aptitude for pop standards into songs that spanned several decades. His self-titled debut disc was released in early 2003, and featured jazzy takes on old standards like “Fever” and “The Way You Look Tonight” as well as newer classics like “Moondance” and “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”.
He finished off 2003 with an EP of holiday material, Let It Snow, and began 2004 with the live CD/DVD set Come Fly With Me. In 2005, It’s Time was a number one hit in Canada, Japan, Italy, and Australia, and made the top ten of both the UK and US. Later that year he released the live album Caught in the Act. More recently, Michael received a 2010 Grammy Award for 'Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album' for 'Michael Bublé Meets Madison Square Garden.
Mother
Michael Bublé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You never needed praise
You would work your hands to the bone
You would work your hands to the bone
You always made the time
You got me on my way
You would work your hands to the bone
Just to turn our house to a home
A different kind of hero
With a different kind of strength
Another word for savior
And another word for saint
Mother, a fighter and a lover
Always there by my side no matter what I am going through
And there's no other, the place where we take cover
And I know everybody's saying they got the best one
But that ain't true
'Cause I do
I know I made it tough
I know I caused you pain
You'd loved me like the angel, I'm not
But you still held me down like a rock
There's nothing I could do
There's nothing I could say
The words can float away through the years
So I wrote them down for you here
The person that I turn to
And the person that I trust
The voice inside my head when I think I'm giving up
Mother, a fighter and a lover
Everything I'll ever have and all I am is because of you
And there's no other, the place where we take cover
And I know everybody's saying they got the best one
But that ain't true
'Cause I do
No matter where I go
Or where I'm at in life
You'll always be my
Mother, fighter and a lover
Always there by my side no matter what I am going through
And there's no other, the place where we take cover
And I know everybody's saying they got the best one
But that ain't true
I know everybody's saying they got the best one
But that ain't true
'Cause I do
'Cause I do

The lyrics portray her as a different kind of hero, someone who possesses a unique strength and resilience. She's described as a fighter and a lover, always by the singer's side, no matter what challenges he faces.
The chorus emphasizes the special bond between the singer and his mother. He acknowledges that while many people claim to have the best mother, he knows his mother is truly the best. She is his place of refuge and comfort, the person who supports and guides him. The lyrics convey a deep sense of appreciation and love for the mother's unwavering presence in the singer's life.
The song's bridge reflects on the singer's shortcomings and the pain he may have caused his mother. Despite his imperfections, his mother's love has never wavered.

TRADUZIONE ITA
Non hai mai preso tempo
Non hai mai avuto bisogno di lodi
Lavoreresti le tue mani fino all'osso
Lavoreresti le tue mani fino all'osso
Hai sempre trovato il tempo
Mi hai messo sulla buona strada
Lavoreresti le tue mani fino all'osso
Solo per trasformare la nostra casa in una casa
Un diverso tipo di eroe
Con una forza diversa
Un'altra parola per salvatore
E un'altra parola per santo
Madre, combattente e amante
Sempre lì al mio fianco, non importa quello che sto passando
E non c'è nessun altro, il posto dove ci occupiamo di copertura
E so che tutti dicono di aver preso il migliore
Ma non è vero
Perché lo faccio
So di averlo reso difficile
So di averti causato dolore
Mi hai amato come l'angelo, non lo sono
Ma mi hai ancora tenuto fermo come una roccia
Non c'è niente che potrei fare
Non c'è niente che potrei dire
Le parole possono volare via nel corso degli anni
Quindi li ho scritti per te qui
La persona a cui mi rivolgo
E la persona di cui mi fido
La voce nella mia testa quando penso che mi sto arrendendo
Madre, combattente e amante
Tutto ciò che avrò e tutto ciò che sono è grazie a te
E non c'è nessun altro, il posto dove ci occupiamo di copertura
E so che tutti dicono di aver preso il migliore
Ma non è vero
Perché lo faccio
Non importa dove vado
O dove sono io nella vita
Sarai sempre il mio
Madre, combattente e amante
Sempre lì al mio fianco, non importa quello che sto passando
E non c'è nessun altro, il posto dove ci occupiamo di copertura
E so che tutti dicono di aver preso il migliore
Ma non è vero
So che tutti dicono di aver preso il migliore
Ma non è vero
