Ines Talbi - Mommy

Mommy, Mommy, I love you dearly
Please tell me how in French
My friends used to call me
Paule, Lise, Ines ou Louise
Groulx, Papineau, Talbi, Fortin,
Robichaud, Charbonneau

Mommy, Mommy, how come it’s not the same
Oh Mommy, Mommy, what happened to my name
Oh Mommy, tell me why it’s too late, too late
Much too late

Mommy, Mommy, I love you dearly
Please tell me where we used to live in this country
Trois-Rivières, St-Marc, Grand-Mère
Gaspé, Dolbeau, Berthier
Saint-Paul, Montréal-Nord, Gatineau

Mommy, Mommy, how come it’s not the same
Oh Mommy, Mommy, there’s so much in a name
Oh Mommy, tell me why it’s too late, too late
Much too late


Mommy, Mommy, I love you dearly
Please sing the song you sang when I was a baby
Fais do-do, cola habibti


Fais dodo, habibti, fais do-do, tu auras du lolo


Mommy, Mommy, I remember the song
Oh Mommy, Mommy, something seems to be wrong
Oh Mommy, tell me why it’s too late, too late
Much too late

Mommy, Mommy, I love you dearly
Please tell me once again that beautiful story
Un jour, ils partirent de France
Bâtir ici quelques villages, une ville, un pays

Mommy, Mommy, how come we lost the game
Oh Mommy, Mommy, am I the one to blame
Tell me why it’s too late, too late
Much too late
