William Finn - Mother’s Gonna Make Things Fine [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[MIMI]
Mother's gonna file her nails
Mother's gonna stay serene
What I mean
Is she'll protect you!
Hey! I'm bringing you a new day!
Yep, today will be a new day
And even though it's shits
Mother's gonna fix things
Try to keep your wits
Mother's gonna make things fine!

[GORDON]
Mom, we don't even know what's going on yet

[MIMI]
In the darkest of dark despair
I'll be found sitting there

[GORDON]
Ma!
If you want me to say "life's fair"
That is something I can't say

[MIMI]
Well, anyway!
Mother's gonna drink champagne
Ma will help you beat the odds
She'll explain why she's so damn blasé!
Because I'm bringing you a new day!
Yes, I'm welcoming a new day!
And mother will attend
Mother's gonna fix things
Mother's gonna mend
Mother's gonna make things fine!

[GORDON]
This you cannot change, mother
It's strange, mother
But this thing's outside our control
This whole rigmarole is a joke I don't understand

[MIMI]
Nothing's stronger than mother
Nothing's tougher than mother
And no one fights as hard

[GORDON]
My world has changed

[MIMI]
When something's in the way

[GORDON]
In such a way

[MIMI]
I'm bringing you a new day

[GORDON]
She's bringing me a new day

[MIMI]
Goddamnit, it's a new day!

[GORDON]
Dammit, it's a new day!

[MIMI]
And mother will protect
Mother's gonna fix things
Anything that's wrecked
Mother's gonna make things fine!

[GORDON]
Ma!

[MIMI]
I'm bringing you a new day

[GORDON]
She's bringing me a new day

[MIMI]
Yes, yes, yes! A fabulously new day!

[GORDON]
A fabulously new day

[GORDON/MIMI]
And mother will protect
Mother's gonna fix things
Anything that's wrecked
Mother's gonna make things

[ENSEMBLE]
Fine!
Oh, yes!
She's bringing you a new day!

[MIMI]
Yeah, little baby
Bet your momma gonna come and bring a new day

[ENSEMBLE]
Yes! She's bringing you a new day!

[MIMI]
Hey, little baby
Bet your momma gonna come and bring a new day

[ENSEMBLE]
And mother will protect
Mother's gonna fix things
Anything that's wrecked
Mother's gonna make things

[MIMI]
Mother's gonna make things fine!

[ENSEMBLE]
Mother's gonna make
Mother's gonna make things
Mother's gonna make
Mother's gonna make things
Mother's gonna make
Mother's gonna make things
Fine!
