Mamma Maremma

Mamma Maremma mamma ma
Mamma Maremma mamma ma

And the train goes on the beach
but where are you, summer of '56?
Grosseto is now a metropolis but
Mamma Maremma where are you?

Mamma Maremma where are you?
Mamma Maremma where are you?
Mamma Maremma where are you?

The road - whiter than my life
my mother who wanted you to call her aunt
but between us there was a secret

Mamma Maremma what joy
eating polenta at your house
Mamma Maremma the fire in bed
resting my head on your chest

And the first scratch from another child
who didn't know I was the little lord
your skirt, which dried the tears

And I left you in the dust to cry
I wrote to you but you couldn't read
and one day the priest replied to me

Mamma Maremma what do you say
Mamma Maremma has 7 lives
Mamma Maremma is not doing bad
and even hell doesn't want her

In your room the scent of lavender
my portrait made by a soldier
I wonder how time has passed
Mamma Maremma please eat
for you I was always too thin
Mamma Maremma please eat
for you I was always too thin
