Текст песни Mama Look at Bubu (Harry Belafonte) с переводом

I wonder why nobody don’t like me

Or is it the fact that I’m ugly?

I wonder why nobody don’t like me

Or is it the fact that I’m ugly?

I leave my whole house and home

My children don’t want me no more

Bad talk inside de house dey bring

And when I talk they start to sing

Mama, look at boo boo they shout

Their mother tell them shut up your mouth

That is your daddy, oh, no

My daddy can’t be ugly so

Shut your mouth, go away

Mama, look at boo boo dey

Shut your mouth, go away

Mama, look at boo-boo dey

I couldn’t even digest me supper

Due to the children’s behavior

John, come here a moment

(Yes, pa)

Bring de belt, you’re much too impudent

John says it’s James who started first

James tells the story in reverse

I drag my belt from off me waist

You should hear them screamin' round de place

Mama, look at boo boo they shout

Their mother tell them shut up your mouth

That is your daddy, oh, no

My daddy can’t be ugly so

Shut your mouth, go away

Mama, look at boo boo dey

Shut your mouth, go away

Mama, look at boo-boo dey

So I began to question the mother

These children ain’t got no behavior

So I began to question the mother

These children ain’t got no behavior

They’re playing with you my wife declared

You should be proud of them, my dear

These children were taught too bloomin' slack

That ain’t no kind of joke to crack

Mama, look at boo boo they shout

Their mother tell them shut up your mouth

That is your daddy, oh, no

My daddy can’t be ugly so

Shut your mouth, go away

Mama, look at boo boo dey

Shut your mouth, go away

Mama, look at boo-boo dey

Shut your mout', go away
