My Mother Said

My mother often said that if all you think about dying,
It's because you probably never suffered
You definitely appreciating enjoying life
When you have to fight to stay alive
My mother always said
That it comes and goes, just like a gust of wind
Whether in good or in bad times,
Life is too short to hate one another
 
My mother said that children
Die after their parents, sometimes things don't work that way
We never go before we're meant to
And never at the right time
That the future belongs to he who rises early
Somewhere between sleeping and sleeping too much
That there is a heaven for the Gods
And a heaven for the eyes
 
Oh, mama, mama, mama, people
Have been mourning me for so long already
My whole life, oh, my whole life
I've felt different
 
My mother said: 'Son, money
Will never make you happy
Of course, you need to have enough to fill your stomach
But your stomach doesn't fill your heart
You feed your soul through the looking glass'
But mama, when I look myself in the eyes
I seek, but I don't see anything
I'm empty inside, and my soul is starving to death
 
Oh, mama, mama, mama, people
Have been mourning me for so long already
My whole life, oh, my whole life
I've felt different
My whole life, different
 
My mother often said
My mother often said
My mother often said
That everyone is different
