بطَّل يجي علينا
بطّل يجي علينا
طلعتلو وحدي بدربو
حرمتو الطلّي علينا
حرمتو الطلّي علينا
ما قلتلّك يا يُمَّا
بطَّل يجي علينا
طلعتلو وحدي بدربو
حرمتو الطلّي علينا
وتكبَّر يُمَّا علينا
يابا لا عيني لا
يابا لالا لا عيني لا
أنا اليا ويلي انا اليا ويلي معلَّم على الصَّدمات قلبي
يُمَّا ماني ندماني
علِّي راح ونساني
علِّي راح ونساني
خلِّيها حسرة بقلبو
يرجع وما يلقاني
يرجع وما يلقاني
يُمَّا ماني ندماني
علِّي راح ونساني
علِّي راح ونساني
خلِّيها حسرة بقلبو
يرجع وما يلقاني
يرجع وما يلقاني
يابا لا عيني لا
يابا لا لا لا عيني لا
أنا اليا ويلي انا اليا ويلي معلَّم على الصَّدمات قلبي
يُمَّا القلب يتحسَّر
عالعِشرة وعالمودَّه
عالعِشرة وعالمودَّه
واللِّي علينا يتكبَّر
لدار أهله لردَّه
لدار أهله لردَّه
يُمَّا القلب يتحسَّر
عالعِشرة وعالمودَّه
عالعِشرة وعالمودَّه
واللِّي علينا يتكبَّر
لدار أهله لردَّه
لدار أهله لردَّه
يابا لا عيني لا
يابا لا لا لا عيني لا
أنا اليا ويلي معود على الصَّدمات قلبي
The song "Ya Yomma" by Najwa Karam talks about a son's plea to his mother to stop mistreating him and his father. The son addresses his mother, stating that he has had enough of her behavior and that he wishes she would stop. He tells her that he walked alone on the path and that she deprived him of his smile.
The son then appeals to his mother to let him go and forget him so that she would be the one to regret it. He says that he is used to the heartbreak and that he has become resilient to it. The song also highlights the mother's pride and how it caused her to mistreat her son and father. The son wishes that the mother would regret her actions and that they would return to each other's arms.
In summary, the song depicts the pain caused by a mother's mistreatment to her son and father, and how the son wishes for reconciliation.

ما قلتلّك يا يُمَّا
I didn't tell you, my mother
بطَّل يجي علينا
To stop bothering us
طلعتلو وحدي بدربو
I took my road alone
حرمتو الطلّي علينا
And you prevented us from seeing each other
وتكبَّر يُمَّا علينا
Oh mother, you become arrogant towards us
يابا لا عيني لا
Oh father, I don't have any tears left
أنا اليا ويلي انا اليا ويلي معلَّم على الصَّدمات قلبي
I am the one who is constantly hit, and my heart has learned to withstand the pain
يُمَّا ماني ندماني
Mother, I am not regretful
علِّي راح ونساني
I forgot him and moved on,
خلِّيها حسرة بقلبو
And left him with regret in his heart
يرجع وما يلقاني
He comes back but doesn't find me
يابا لا عيني لا
Oh father, I don't have any tears left
يُمَّا القلب يتحسَّر
Oh mother, my heart is full of sorrow
عالعِشرة وعالمودَّه
For love and friendship
واللِّي علينا يتكبَّر
And those who looked down on us
لدار أهله لردَّه
Will end up regretful when they return home
