Текст песни It's Not Easy (Remastered) (Live) - Lucky Dube

I remember the day
I called mama on the telephone
I told her, Mama I'm getting married
I could hear her voice on the other side
Of the telephone, she was smiling
And she asked me a question
That I proudly answered

She said, "Son did you take time to know her?"
I said, Mama she's the best
But today it hurts me so
To go back to mama and say
Mama I'm getting divorced
Oh, I'm getting divorced

(She said)
This choice I made
Didn't work out the way I thought it would
This choice I made
(I said)
This choice I made
Didn't work out the way I thought it would
This choice I made

Mama said to me
"It's not easy to understand it son"
"But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again"
"It's not easy to understand it son"
"But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again"
"It's not easy to understand it son"
"But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again"

I remember in church
When the preacher read the scriptures
You looked so beautiful
So beautiful and so innocent
I did not know that
Behind that beauty lies the true colors
That will destroy me in the near future

This choice I made
Didn't work out the way I thought it would be
This choice I made
I said
This, this choice I made
Didn't work out the way I thought it would be
Now I'm hurting

(Mama said to me)
(Mama said to me)
(Mama said to me)
(Mama said to me)

I remember when I held you by the hand
Preacher man read the scriptures
Putting words in your mouth
Maybe what the preacher man said
Was not something that was with you
Now I know what they mean when they say
Beautiful woman is another man's plaything
Oh Lord I'm hurting now

(I said)
This choice I made
Didn't work out the way I thought it would
This choice I made
(I said)
This choice I made
Didn't work out the way I thought it would
Now I'm hurting

Mama said to me
"It's not easy to understand it son"
"But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again"
Mama said to me
"It's not easy just to understand it son"
"But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again"

(Mama said to me)
(Mama said to me)
(Mama said to me)
(Mama said to me)
(Mama said to me)
(Mama said to me)
(Mama said to me)
(Mama said to me)
