Mamma

Andrea Bocelli's song 'Mamma' is a heartfelt tribute to the unconditional love and bond between a mother and her child. The lyrics, sung in Italian, express the singer's deep joy and appreciation for his mother, especially upon returning to her. The song conveys a sense of nostalgia and longing for the comfort and safety found in a mother's presence.

The opening lines, 'Mamma son tanto felice / Perche retorno da te,' translate to 'Mother, I am so happy / Because I am returning to you,' setting the tone for a deeply emotional and personal message. The singer acknowledges that the most beautiful day for him is the one when he returns to his mother. The repetition of 'Mamma son tanto felice' emphasizes the singer's profound happiness and contentment in being near his mother again.

The song also touches on themes of gratitude and admiration. Bocelli's voice carries the message of love and affection, as he sings about his song flying only for his mother and the promise that she will never be alone again. The lyrics 'Sei tu la vita e per la vita non ti lascio mai piu' translate to 'You are life and for life, I will never leave you again,' highlighting the eternal commitment and reverence he feels for his mother. The mention of his mother's tired hand and her once lullaby voice now missing, juxtaposed with his desire to hold her white head close to his heart, paints a picture of a son's enduring love and desire to care for his mother in her later years.
