Djadja & Dinaz – Maman ne dort pas (English lyrics)

No, mom won’t fall asleep until her son comes back home
Until her son comes back home
No, mom won’t fall asleep until her son comes back home
Until her son comes back home

1rst verse (Dinaz) :
His father is a construction worker
He, on the other hand, works in the building’s hallway
Everyone tells him that he’s a bandit
He get slaps and raids from the cops
His parents go crazy on him
They say to him “go find yourself a job, you’re worthless”
And so he loses his mind
Gets himself a shotgun
And tells everyone that he’s the boss from now on
And even the elders lower their voices
He’s even more nervous than Vegeta
Even more than in la Jonquera
All he wants to do is fuck bitches
Yeah, the street life made quite an impression on him
He made himself a couple bucks, and now he don’t intend to slow down
All the bitches get naked when he’s around
He’ll never open his mouth, he’ll rather do the time
But all of this is useless, his mother cries during the visits

Chorus :
Don’t worry, my mom and dad
You won’t imagine how much I love them
I’m sorry if I have to lie to you sometimes
But the streets keep calling me
I don’t know any other way out
You won’t imagine how much I love them

2nd verse (Djadja) :
I need to get my mom away from here
Because she’s the one that suffers the most
I haven’t found any remedy yet
Things are crazy in the projects these days
She’s seeing her son as he grows
And he’s getting himself involved in all type of drug trafficking
And it just won’t stop
For his mother, things have already gotten way out of hand
All he wants to do is load up this berreta
And take things to the point of no return
He gets down to business
Tells his homeboys that they’re all starving
And that they don’t have anything to lose anyways
And it just makes our moms cry
Money starts to come in, and the mothers all ask themselves where did it come from
He, on the other hand, he’s getting high
All the bitches are attracted to him
He slangs some hard drugs then some soft drugs
The cops come knocking on his door, then comes the court cases, the worries
You tell your bitch everything but you lie to your own mother
And when I make it back home at night, it’s only to go to sleep
When Moms tries to talk to me, I find an excuse to leave the house
She’s panicking because I’m getting older

Chorus (x2) :
Don’t worry, my mom and dad
You won’t imagine how much I love them
I’m sorry if I have to lie to you sometimes
But the streets keeps calling me
I don’t know any other way out
You won’t imagine how much I love them

She was always there trough the hard times
Before it gets too late, I just want you to know that I love you mom
She was always there trough the hard times
Before it gets too late, I just want you to know that I love you mom
