waar het leven mee begint
mamma is het woord
dat hoort bij ieder kind
een woord om zacht te zeggen
niet om luid te schreeuwen
het hoeft niets uit te leggen
en gaat door alle eeuwen
mamma is het woord
waar de mensheid mee begint
mamma is een ander woord
voor liefde
Toon Hermans (ontbijten met jou)
A poem by one of my favorite Dutch poets...loosely translated it goes something like this:
Mamma is the word
with which life starts
mamma is the word
that is part of every child
A word to speak softly
not shout out loud
it does not need to explain anything
and lasts through the centuries
mamma is the word
with which humanity starts
mamma is another word
for love
