Mama [When My Dollies Have Babies] [Spanish translation]

Mama, when my dollies have babies

And I am a big lady,

Mama, will a prince come and take me away?

When I said these things, I believed in kings.

Then I didn't know love could hurt me so

Slowly she replied, tears had filled her eyes:

"Baby, not so fast; let your young life last."

Mama, when my dollies have babies

And I am a big lady,

Mama, will a prince come and take me away?

I sang to her in fun, my teens had just began.

My age was not the same, still we played this game.

Her eyes were filled with pride, slowly she replied:

"Soon enough you'll be a very pretty bride!"

Mama, when my dollies have babies

And I am a big lady,

Mama, will the hurt go away deep inside?

When I sang this song, my whole world had gone wrong

All my childhood dreams had turned to crystal streams

My love didn't last and now more tears have passed

And left me just one thing: a tender voice that sings...

Mama, when my dollies have babies

And I am a big lady,

Mama...
