La Mamma
Yseult Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dès qu'ils ont entendu ce cri
Elle va mourir là
La mamma
Ils sont venus, ils sont tous là
Même ceux du sud du pays
Y a même Giorgio, le fils maudit
Avec des présents plein les bras
Autour du lit sur le carreau
Mais leurs jeux n'ont pas d'importance
C'est un peu leurs derniers cadeaux
À la mamma
On la réchauffe de baisers
On lui remonte ses oreillers
Elle va mourir là
La mamma
Sainte Marie pleine de grâces
Dont la statue est sur la place
Bien sûr vous lui tendez les bras
En lui chantant Ave Maria
Ave Maria
Y a tant d'amour, de souvenirs
Autour de toi, toi la mamma
Y a tant de larmes et de sourires
À travers toi, toi la mamma
Et tous les hommes ont eu si chaud
Sur les chemins de grand soleil
Elle va mourir là
La mamma
Qu'ils boivent frais le vin nouveau
Le bon vin de la bonne treille
Tandis que s'entassent pêle-mêle
Sur les bancs, foulards et chapeaux
C'est drôle on ne se sent pas triste
Près du grand lit de l'affection
Y a même un oncle guitariste
Qui joue en faisant attention
À la mamma
Et les femmes se souvenant
Des chansons tristes, des veillées
Elle va mourir là
La mamma
Tout doucement, les yeux fermés
Chantent comme on berce un enfant
Après une bonne journée
Pour qu'il sourie en s'endormant
Ave Maria
Y a tant d'amour, de souvenirs
Autour de toi, toi la mamma
Y a tant de larmes et de sourires
À travers toi, toi la mamma
Jamais, jamais, jamais
Tu nous quitteras
Yseult's song La Mamma is a moving tribute to a dying mother. The lyrics describe how family and friends have gathered around her, huddled around her bed, not wanting to let go. They reminisce about the happy memories they've shared with her, and they sing to her, offering comfort in her final moments.
The song's opening lines set the stage for the poignant scene of a mother on her deathbed surrounded by her loved ones. The lyrics mention that everyone has come, even Giorgio, the family's wayward son, bearing gifts. The children play quietly around the bed, but their games take on a profound meaning as they realize that this is one of the last times they will see their beloved mama alive.
The chorus, which riffs on the prayer of Hail Mary, emphasizes the depth of feeling that the family has for their matriarch. The lyrics are particularly poignant because they are not asking for anything, but rather offering a prayer of gratitude and appreciation.
Yseult's song La Mamma is a beautiful and moving tribute to a mother's love and the depth of feeling it inspires. This song is sure to resonate with anyone who has lost a loved one and who understands the pain and loss that comes with that experience.

For the English speaking viewers, here's a rough translation:
Naked on the ground
I’ve been harming myself for years
Hand on my eyes
Don’t feel like taking it off, hey
No time for the weak
No time for regrets
My heart’s on the ground
Get up, don’t fuck up
That rumbling in my head
I wish it would stop, ho
When I open my eyes, colors and pictures are rushing back, oh
So much noise in my head, it gotta stop
I lost my mind
Where’s the way home ?
Whatever happens
I’ll get my sanity back
I lost my mind
Where’s the way home ?
Whatever happens,
Whatever happens...
I dont care for people’s gaze upon me
Who are they to judge me ?
An apology to my father (yeah)
I’ve been naughty
In my brother’s eyes
He’s received so many slaps in the face
On my mother’s cheeks
So many rivers flew
That rumbling in my head
I wish it would stop, ho
When I open my eyes, colors and pictures are rushing back, oh
So much noise in my head, it gotta stop
I lost my mind
Where’s the way home ?
Whatever happens
I’ll get my sanity back […]

Verse 1
Naked body on the floor,
I've been hurting myself for years
I've got my hands on my eyes and I don't feel like taking them away
There is no place for the weak
There is no place for regrets
If your heart is on the ground,
Stand up and do not mess around
Bridge:
I've got these noises in my head. I want them to stop but it's all in vain.
I finally open my eyes just for a bit and the colors and the photos come flooding.
All these voices in my head, I really want them to stop
Chorus.
I've lost my mind
Where is the way to my house?
Come what may
I'll find the path back to being myself
I've lost my mind
Where is the way to my house?
Come what may
Come what may
Verse 2:
People' stares are the least of my worries
Who are they to judge me?
I ask my father to forgive me
I was once insolent towards him
In the eyes of my brother,
I'm the one who has slapped him many times
And my mother's cheeks
Bear the streak of the many rivers she has cried.
Bridge
Chorus
@nodramapleaseee82
Le corps nu sur le sol
J'me fais du mal depuis des années
La main sur les yeux
Pas envie de la retirer, hey
Y a pas de place pour les faibles
Y a pas de place pour les regrets
Le cœur sous le sel
Relève-toi faut pas déconner
J'ai ces bruits dans ma tête et j'aimerais que ça cesse mais en vain hoh
J'ouvre un peu les yeux, des couleurs, des photos me reviennent hoh
Tous ces bruits dans ma tête faut que ça cesse
J'ai perdu la tête
Où est le chemin de ma maison?
Quoi qu'il advienne
Je retrouverai les clés d'la raison
J'ai perdu la tête
Où est le chemin de ma maison?
Quoi qu'il advienne
Quoi qu'il advienne
Le regard des gens j'en ai que faire
Qui sont-ils pour me juger?
Un pardon à mon père (ouais)
Insolente je l'ai été
Dans les yeux de mon frère
Ouais des claques il s'en est bouffé
Sur les joues de ma mère
Des rivières se sont écoulées
J'ai ces bruits dans ma tête et j'aimerais que ça cesse mais en vain hoh
J'ouvre un peu les yeux, des couleurs, des photos me reviennent hoh
Tous ces bruits dans ma tête faut que ça cesse
J'ai perdu la tête
Où est le chemin de ma maison?
Quoi qu'il advienne
Je retrouverai les clés d'la raison

J'sais pas comment ajouter des sous-titres mais voici les paroles traduites vite-fait, c'est pas du mot à mot mais j'ai essayé de garder le sens des phrases.
Body naked on the floor
I've been hurting myself for years
Hand on my eyes, don't feel like moving it
THere's no room for the weak, no room for regrets
Heart beneath/under salt, get up stop messing/fucking around
I have this noise in my head and i'd like it to stop but in vain
I open my eyes and colours and pictures come back to me
All this noise in my head's gotta stop
I lost my head and my way home
Whatever happens i'll find the keys to reason
Whatever happens
Whatever happens
I don't care about people's gaze
who are they to judge me
Apologies to my father, rude I have been
IN my brother's eyes, yeah he's taken some hits
On my mother's cheeks rivers have ran
I have this noise in my head and i'd like it to stop but in vain
I open my eyes and colours and pictures come back to me
All this noise in my head's gotta stop
I lost my head and my way home
Whatever happens i'll find the keys to reason
Whatever happens
Whatever happens

Les derniers commentaires sont consternants de jalousie, de méchanceté, de mépris, de racisme, de grossophobie... et ne font donc que confirmer la nécessité d'une telle chanson, chantée par une très belle voix qui a le courage de se lancer en indépendant.
