Is it me or does anyone else think "Mama" sounds a lot like "Je Me Souviens"?

It definitely feels like something from the 9 era. Speranza and Je Me Souviens are really close to it.

A new performance of Mama. The words are understandable and fantastic. I LOVE THIS SONG. Great job Lara. I believe Lara sings a little Russian on this song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTx7gnd40iQ

Here are the lyrics as best as I could figure out. I kept Mama instead of the Russian form.
Mama
She spends her lifetime taking care of you She slept tight just a night or two She always hides her pain behind a smile Mothers never cry
As you were growing up You made her proud You knew both your hearts were tied That special love you shared Will last way beyond this life Mothers never die
Mama I'm a better person Thanks to your love I'm a better soul Since I am your child This world is a safer ground
When you hold my hand I fly Mama I have not seen time go by Mama In the mirror of your eyes I see love Aging with natural grace
Let me hold you Mama
When I am lost you guide my every step And you dry every tear I've shed You are the woman I want to become There you're kind yet strong
Tell me the secrets of your shining smile Of every virtue you deny The patience you helped me with Helped me through the rain Spared me most the pain
Mama I'm a better person Thanks to your love I'm a better soul Since I am your child This world is a safer ground
When you hold my hand I fly Mama I have not seen time go by Mama In the mirror of your eyes I see love Aging with natural grace
Mama (Russian)

Thanks Leona.
I too tried to write down the words. Some were very hard to hear. I came up with a couple of differences.
Third sentence I heard "hides her pain" even though Lara didn't pronounce the "s" in "hides" "Aging with maturer grace" I heard "natural grace" "When you dry every tear I've shed" I heard "And" instead of "When" "Of every word you deny" I heard "virtue" instead of "word" "Spending most the pain" I heard "Spared me most the pain"
I could not understand this "There you're kind yet strong" at all. It makes sense.
This is just a guess but I think the Russia words are "Mama I love you" or "I love you so".

Thanks Paula. I've changed the lyrics because now that you mentioned it, that's what it sounds like.
