I may be your forgotten sonI may be your forgotten son
Who wandered off at twenty-oneWho wandered off at twenty-one
It's sad to find myself at home without youIt's sad to find myself at home without you
If I could only hold your handIf I could only hold your hand
And say I'm sorry, yes, I amAnd say I'm sorry, yes, I am
I'm sure you'll really understandI'm sure you'll really understand

I left one summer eveningJe suis parti un soir d'été
Without saying a word, without kissing youSans dire un mot, sans t'embrasser
Without a look back at the pastSans un regard sur le passé-é
As soon as I crossed the borderDès que j'ai franchi la frontière
The wind blew stronger than yesterdayLe vent soufflait plus fort qu'hier
When I was near you, my motherQuand j'étais près de toi ma mère

Oh, mammy, oh, mammy, mammy blueOh, mammy, oh, mammy, mammy blue
Oh, mammy blueOh, mammy blue
