Ils sont venus Ils sont tous là Dès qu'ils ont entendu ce cri Elle va mourir, la mamma Ils sont venus Ils sont tous là Même ceux du sud de l'Italie Y a même Giorgio, le fils maudit Avec des présents plein les bras Tous les enfants jouent en silence Autour du lit ou sur le carreau Mais leurs jeux n'ont pas d'importance C'est un peu leurs derniers cadeaux A la mamma, a la mamma On la réchauffe de baisers On lui remonte ses oreillers Elle va mourir, la mamma Sainte Marie pleine de grâces Dont la statue est sur la place Bien sûr vous lui tendez les bras En lui chantant Ave Maria Ave Maria Y a tant d'amour, de souvenirs Autour de toi, toi la mamma Y a tant de larmes et de sourires A travers toi, toi la mamma Et tous les hommes ont eu si chaud Sur les chemins de grand soleil Elle va mourir, la mamma Qu'ils boivent frais le vin nouveau Le bon vin de la bonne treille Tandis que s'entassent pèle-mêle Sur les bancs, foulards et chapeaux C'est drôle on ne se sent pas triste Près du grand lit et de l'affection Y a même un oncle guitariste Qui joue en faisant attention A la mamma, a la mamma Et les femmes se souvenant Des chansons tristes des veillées Elle va mourir, la mamma Tout doucement, les yeux fermés Chantent comme on berce un enfant Après une bonne journée Pour qu'il sourie en s'endormant Ave Maria Y a tant d'amour, de souvenirs Autour de toi, toi la mamma Y a tant de larmes et de sourires A travers toi, toi la mamma Que jamais, jamais, jamais Tu nous quitteras
