Lyrics
I had my fair share of the good and the bad
I've experienced both positive and negative aspects of life
I had my fair share of the happy and sad
I've had moments of joy and sorrow
Those broken pieces that I can't put back
I have broken parts of myself that cannot be repaired
Make up who I really am
My broken pieces contribute to my true identity
So I live my whole life like there ain't no sequel
I live my life as if there won't be a continuation
I dance on fine lines between good and evil
I navigate between morality and immorality
I play with fire to protect my people
I take risks to protect my loved ones
But look back and smile in the end
Reflect on the past with a smile
When it's my time to go
When my time comes to depart
Mama don't cry for me, dont' cry for me
Mother, don't shed tears for me
Cause I know where I'm going
I am aware of my destination
So mama dont' cry cry for me, don't cry for me
Mother, please don't cry for me
When it's my time to go
Reiteration of the departure theme
Mama don't cry for me, dont' cry for me
Appealing to the mother not to weep
Cause I know where I'm going
Expressing certainty about the destination
So mama dont' cry cry for me, don't cry for me
Requesting the mother to refrain from crying
And when I'm not there, have a drink for two
When I'm absent, share a drink for me
No need to think twice, I'll be there whith you
No need to hesitate; I'll be there in spirit
Here's to the good times and the tears we've shed
Toasting to both joyful and sorrowful times
Look back and smile in the end
Look back on memories with a smile
When it's my time to go
Reiteration of the impending departure
Mama don't cry for me, dont' cry for me
Advising the mother not to cry when I'm gone
Cause I know where I'm going
Confident about the destination once again
So mama dont' cry cry for me, don't cry for me
Repeating the plea for the mother not to cry
When it's my time to go
Emphasizing the inevitability of departure
Mama don't cry for me, dont' cry for me
Requesting the mother to avoid shedding tears
Cause I know where I'm going
Reaffirming knowledge of the destination
So mama dont' cry cry for me, don't cry for me
Once again, urging the mother not to cry
Stare at the constellations, you'll see my face
Suggesting that my face can be seen in the constellations
And if you pay attention you'll hear me say
If one pays attention, they might hear my words in the stars
Stare at the constellations, you'll see my face
Reiteration of the celestial connection
And if you pay attention you'll hear me say
Encouraging attention to celestial signs and messages
When it's my time to go
Repetition of the plea not to cry when I leave
Mama don't cry for me, dont' cry for me
Affirming the mother's refrain from shedding tears
Cause I know where I'm going
Confident in knowing the destination at the end
So mama dont' cry cry for me, don't cry for me
Reiterating the request for the mother not to cry
When it's my time to go
Restating the inevitability of departure
Mama don't cry for me, dont' cry for me
Once again, urging the mother not to cry
Cause I know where I'm going
Expressing confidence in the known destination
So mama dont' cry cry for me, don't cry for me
Final plea for the mother not to shed tears when I'm gone
