Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mamma dankie vir wie ek is
Dankie vir wat ek nooit sal wees
Daar's baie wat ek graag wou sê
As ek vergeet
Vergewe my

Mamma jy was nog altyd daar
Jy't my geleer jy't my bewaar
As ek my lewe oor kan kry
Wens ek Ma is daar by my
Daar by my

En ek weet jy't gedroom
En ek weet jy't geglo
En ek's jammer ek was nie altyd onder jou oë

Maar ek is waar ek is
Want Ma't my gely
En ek mis jou
Ek mis jou

Mamma miskien was ek verkeerd
Jou trane sal ek
Nooit vergeet
Vandag wil ek net jammer sê
Ek's lief vir jou
Vergewe my
Vergewe my

En ek weet jy't gedroom
En ek weet jy't geglo
En ek's jammer ek was nie altyd onder jou oë
Maar ek is waar ek is
Want Ma't my gely
En ek mis jou
Ek mis jou
Ma ek mis jou
En ek mis jou

Mamma ek hoop jy's trots op my (Jy's trots op my)
Ek hoop vandag maak ek jou bly (Maak ek jou bly)
As ek my lewe oor kan kry
Wens ek Ma
Is daar by my (Is daar by my)
Is daar by my

Want ek weet jy't gegloo (Weet jy't geglo)
Saam my gedroom (Saam my gedroom)




Hierdie lied is net vir jou

Mom thank you for who I am
Thank you for what I will never be
There's a lot I wanted to say
If i forget
Forgive me

Mom you've always been there
You taught me you kept me
If I can get my life over
I wish Mom was there with me
There with me

And I know you dreamed
And I know you believed
And I'm sorry I was not always under your eyes

But I'm where I am
Because Ma't suffered me
And i miss you
I miss you

Mom maybe I was wrong
I will shed your tears
Never forget
Today I just want to say sorry
I love you
Forgive me
Forgive me

And I know you dreamed
And I know you believed
And I'm sorry I was not always under your eyes
But I'm where I am
Because Ma't suffered me
And i miss you
I miss you
Mom I miss you
And i miss you

Mom I hope you're proud of me (You're proud of me)
I hope today I make you happy (I make you happy)
If I can get my life over
I also wish Ma
Is there with me (Is there with me)
Is there with me

Because I know you believe (Do you know you believe)
Dreamed with me (Dreamed with me)
