I Loved Being My Mother's Son (originale)

Way back when it first begun
Starting when I first was young
Through all the years that were to come
I loved being my mother’s son
Yeah, I loved being my mother’s son
I loved her so because
She was so good and kind to me
She was, she was, she was
She helped me walk, she watched me run
She got where I was coming from
And when I couldn’t count my friends on a single thumb
I loved her to the maximum
Yeah, I loved being my mother’s son
I loved her so because
She was so kind and genuine
She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was
When she was gone, I was overcome
The simple fact left me stunned
I wasn’t done being my mother’s son
Only now am I seeing that being’s done
Yeah, I loved being my mother’s son
I loved her so because
She was my faithful guardian
She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was
She was, she was, she was
(She was, she was, she was)
(She was, she was, she was)
(She was, she was, she was)
(She was, she was, she was)

(traduzione)

Molto tempo fa quando iniziava
A partire da quando ero giovane
Attraverso tutti gli anni a venire
Amavo essere il figlio di mia madre
Sì, mi piaceva essere il figlio di mia madre
L'amavo così perché
Era così buona e gentile con me
Era, era, era
Mi ha aiutato a camminare, mi ha guardato correre
È arrivata da dove vengo
E quando non riuscivo a contare i miei amici su un solo pollice
L'ho amata al massimo
Sì, mi piaceva essere il figlio di mia madre
L'amavo così perché
Era così gentile e genuina
Era, era, era
Era, era, era
Era, era, era
Era, era, era
Era, era, era
Quando se n'è andata, sono stato sopraffatto
Il semplice fatto mi ha lasciato sbalordito
Non avevo ancora finito di essere il figlio di mia madre
Solo ora vedo che l'essere è finito
Sì, mi piaceva essere il figlio di mia madre
L'amavo così perché
Era la mia fedele tutrice
Era, era, era
Era, era, era
Era, era, era
Era, era, era
Era, era, era
(Lei era, lei era, lei era)
(Lei era, lei era, lei era)
(Lei era, lei era, lei era)
(Lei era, lei era, lei era)
