Mamma Maremma - Umberto Tozzi

Mamma Maremma, mamma ma

Mamma Maremma, mamma ma

E va, il treno sulla spiaggia va

Ma dove sei, estate del '56?

Grosseto è ormai metropoli, ma

Mamma Maremma, dove sei?

Mamma Maremma, dove sei?

Mamma Maremma, dove sei?

Mamma Maremma, dove sei?

La strada più bianca della vita mia

Mia madre che voleva ti chiamassi zia

Ma fra di noi c’era un segreto

Mamma Maremma, che allegria

Mangiar polenta in casa tua!

Mamma Maremma, il fuoco a letto

Poggiar la testa sul tuo petto

E il primo graffio di un altro bambino

Che non sapeva che ero il signorino

La tua sottana che il pianto asciugò

E ti lasciai nel polverone a piangere

Ti scrissi ma tu non sapevi leggere

E mi rispose un giorno il prete

Mamma Maremma, cosa dite?

Mamma Maremma, ha sette vite!

Mamma Maremma non sta male

E anche l’inferno non la vuole

Nella tua stanza, profumo di spigo

Il mio ritratto fatto da militare

Mi chiedo il tempo come ha fatto a passare

Mamma Maremma, mangia, prego

Per te ero sempre troppo magro

Mamma Maremma, mangia, prego

Per te ero sempre troppo magro

Mother Maremma, mother but

Mother Maremma, mother but

And it goes, the train on the beach goes

But where are you, summer of '56?

Grosseto is now a metropolis, but

Mother Maremma, where are you?

Mother Maremma, where are you?

Mother Maremma, where are you?

Mother Maremma, where are you?

The whitest road of my life

My mother who wanted you to be called aunt

But there was a secret between us

Mother Maremma, what a joy

Eat polenta in your home!

Mother Maremma, the fire in bed

Rest your head on your chest

And another child's first scratch

Who did not know that I was the young gentleman

Your skirt that the tears dried

And I left you in the dust crying

I wrote to you but you didn't know how to read

And the priest answered me one day

Mother Maremma, what do you say?

Mother Maremma, she has seven lives!

Mother Maremma is not sick

And even hell does not want it

In your room, the scent of herringbone

My military portrait

I wonder how the time went by

Mother Maremma, eat, please

For you I was always too thin

Mother Maremma, eat, please

For you I was always too thin
