{Refrain:}
Oh Mamy! Oh Mamy, Mamy blue
Oh Mamy blue! {2x}
Où es-tu, où es-tu Mamy blue?
Oh Mamy blue!
Je suis partie un soir d´été
Sans dire un mot, sans t´embrasser
Sans un regard sur le passé
Dès que j´ai franchi la frontière
Le vent soufflait plus fort qu´hier
Quand j´étais près de toi ma mère
{au Refrain}
Et aujourd´hui je te reviens
Oui, j´ai refait tout le chemin
Qui m´avait entraînée si loin
Tu n´es plus là pour me sourire
Me réchauffer, me recueillir
Et je n´ai plus qu´à repartir
{au Refrain}
La maison a fermé ses yeux
Le chat et les chiens sont très vieux
Et ils viennent me dire adieu
Je ne reviendrai plus jamais
Dans ce village que j´aimais
Où tu reposes désormais
Oh Mamy! Oh Mamy blue!
