Текст песни: Only a Mother Knows + перевод

What makes a woman trade her whole world

For one of bonnets and bows?

What makes her take the time

To count her newborn’s fingers and toes?

Only a mother knows,

Only a mother knows.

Where does she always find the money

For all of your new school clothes?

How does she always pick you out

From all those rows and rows?

Only a mother knows,

Only a mother knows.

How can she see who can help you out

And who can hurt you the most?

Why does she always stand beside you

When each and every false friend goes?

Only a mother knows,

Only a mother knows.

What gives a woman the strength to go on

When she’s crushed by her burdens and woes?

How does she keep her heart open

As she watches the coffin lid close?

Only a mother knows,

Only a mother knows.

How does she manage to keep track of

Just how fast each grandchild grows?

What makes her daughter keep coming back

To learn all the things that

Only a mother knows?

Only a mother knows,

Only a mother knows.

What makes a woman trade her whole world

For one of bonnets and bows?

What makes her take the time

To count her newborn’s fingers and toes?

Only a mother knows,

Only a mother knows.
