LYRICS MAMA:
Mama, kan ik even met je praten, want het leven zit me eventjes niet mee
Ik heb alles wat me lief is, maar ik voel geen liefde meer
Ik heb je nu echt nodig, het doet me teveel zeer

Mama, zeg me hoe ik leven moet
Zeg me hoe jij dat doet
Ik ben het even zoek
Ohhh, Mama, waarom lijk ik niet op jou
Het allersterkste voorbeeld
Van een moeder en een vrouw

Mama, waar heb ik mezelf verloren
Aan deze tafel heb je me alles toch geleerd
Kan niet eten, kan niet praten, kan niet dansen, kan niet slapen, kan niet lachen, het niet laten
Om te verdrinken in mijn tranen, ohhh

Mama, zeg me hoe ik leven moet
Zeg me hoe jij dat doet
Ik ben het even zoek
Ohhh, Mama, waarom lijk ik niet op jou
Het allersterkste voorbeeld
Van een moeder en een vrouw

Ohhh, Mama, zeg me hoe ik leven moet
Zeg me hoe jij dat doet
Ik ben het nu echt zoek
Ohhh, Mama, waarom lijk ik niet op jou
Het allersterkste voorbeeld
Van een moeder en een vrouw

Once again Samantha must be so PROUD!!! And the Netherlands must be so PROUD!!! And us Floor-fans are PROUD!!!

[naturalistfirst]

Now you who didn't know that Floor is the Queen of not just metal but all genre's, have no excuses!! She has shown time and time again why she has that name bestowed upon her!!!! Grace, beauty, undeniable humility are but a few words to describe her. She doesn't need to go on social media and yell about how good she is. She doesn't need to go on stage half naked to prove her beauty. She is a woman that proves over and over how to conduct ones self with impeccable grace. Floor... thank you!!! Thank you for allowing people to see that there is still a person in this industry that respect their fans because they have that same respect for themselves!!!! Happy Holidays Floor and may you and your family enjoy them and stay safe.

The text and melody of Samantha Steenwijk's song were already very impressive, and I can only imagine when she dedicated this, and what she went through at that time. Compliments Samantha! You really deserve them.
And when Floor threw in all her technical and passionate feelings for music and singing, this jewel was polished and started to sparkle light all around! Thank you Ladies! This is magnificent!

[francescomoretta]

The Greatest Voice all over the world!!! And the most HUMAN!!! No doubt! ❤💘❤

Dang I have to keep replaying over and over how can anyone have such a voice through everything that’s going on in this world hearing this makes us smile

[RS-nlks]

Floor Jansen is het bezte muzikale export "product" wat Nederland heeft. Zij kan elke vorm van muziek naar een hoger level tillen. Wat een sterke vrouw.
Floor Jansen is the best musical export "product" in the Netherlands. She can take any form of music to a higher level. Strongest musician and woman ever.

This song brought me to tears thinking of my mother and how strong she was and what she taught me about life. I lost her 10 years ago last Wednesday to cancer this time of year is always hard. Thank so much for this song Floor I’m sure it’s very emotional to you when sing it. You and your family please have a Merry Christmas 🎄

[bartosz]

It was the best days of my life to experience this concert live and meet you not long after. I'm happy I reexperience the concert this way again😁Thank you Floor!🙂🤘

[kimfabritiusdetengnagel]

It's such a beautiful song and I think every human being can relate to the lyrics. And given some "Floor power", it hits hard. ❤️👍🎶

[alleninfinity]

Heel erg bedankt voor de vertaling, en nu dankzij google zal ik reageren in uw moedertaal. Perfectie zoals altijd Queen Floor, je bent de grootste ooit in mijn boek. 🎤🧙‍♀️👏🐺🐶

[robynavalon]

Je zou m in de studio moeten opnemen.. Ik ben mijn moeder in 2019 verloren en mijn vriend is zijn moeder verloren dit jaar aan die vervelende ziekte.. tranen rollen elke keer over mn wangen.. Dankjewel Floor.. je hebt een geweldig machtige stem

[davidphillips]

[MT-xwjx]

That passion, in music. is the path to self-discovery. You don't need anything but passion for your life like old stories

[marek]

To this day I remember Samantha's tears of emotion when you sang that song for her.... And I remember my tears as I listened to you then. Today I listen to you again, and before my eyes again I have the face of Samantha that I saw then.... And - damn - I have tears in my eyes again.... How do you do it? I don't know! But thank you for doing it! Thank you for your version of this song that touched me then, and touched me today!

[whisperinthewind]
