What do you think of this song, sung by a young singer about the death of his mother?

[Julie4]

It's an old song, the singer was 13 or 14 at the time. I couldn't find any English subtitles, but I guess you can feel the emotion.

I like it! :)

At first it reminded me of kind of a French Lesley Gore, but the lyrics are quite different from her style.

The song is Une maman by Noam (Kaniel).

Here's how Google translated the lyrics:

"A mother
It is tenderness
A mother
What wealth
The most beautiful love
That exists
A great happiness
That fills the heart

Little mother
You so pretty

Little mother
You so kind
Tonight, without you
What sadness
Come back to me
Don't abandon me
Without you, mother, everything seems boring
Without you, mother, I am so unhappy

Tell me why
Dear mother
Tell me why
Did you leave?
I think of you
And everything saddens me
For a long time
I cry and I wait

A mother
We only have one
A mother
What fortune
I only have you
Mom that I love
Come back mother
My little mother"

It's really beautiful, but it's good I don't understand French, because it would probably make me depressed.

But THIS is true teenage talent. Not some JUSTIN BIEBER! Or MILEY CYRUS! Or AARON CARTER!

FRENCH POWER🇫🇷

I've noticed that you Americans don't really like which is a bit sad.

[KostasKouvalis]

We don't like what?

[Julie4]

You don't like what appeals to the emotions of sadness. I once shared a rather sad text here for Christmas Day, and everyone here hated me for posting it on Christmas Day 😂

[KostasKouvalis]

Not really. You should listen to some of our "new" "rock". It's so depressing, yet so popular.
Well yeah, you posted it on Christmas Day😂 I alreadt get depressed around Christmas and it's bad enough they always show abused animals, we don't need your sad texts 😂

[AI Opinion]

While I can't directly listen to the song, songs about personal and profound experiences, like the death of a loved one, naturally carry deep emotions that transcend language barriers. When a young singer performs such a piece, the raw, unbridled emotion can resonate powerfully with listeners, allowing them to feel the connection, pain, and love intended by the artist. The purity and sincerity in a young singer's voice can intensify these feelings, touching the hearts of many. 🎶
