Maman Me Dit Lyrics in English Angelina

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Maman Me Dit by Angelina from French to English.
Mom tells me say thanks
Mom tells me be careful
Mom tells me stay here
Mom tells me say sorry
And when Mom tells me yes
I say no just to pretend
And when Mom tells me no
I say yes and turn the volume up
Mom tells me all those things
I must do or not
I wish so much that you'd be
Proud of me
Mom tells me do this do that
Mom tells me
What does Mom tell me?
What does Mom tell me?
Mom tells me do this do that
Mom tells me
What does Mom tell me?
What does Mom tell me?
What does Mom say?
Mom tells me be polite
Mom tells me watch out for boys
Mom tells me get out of bed
Mom tells me change your tone
And when Mom tells me yes
I say no just to pretend
And when Mom tells me no
I say yes and turn the volume up
Mom tells me all those things
I must do or not
I wish so much that you'd be
Proud of me
Mom tells me do this do that
Mom tells me
What does Mom tell me?
What does Mom tell me?
Mom tells me do this do that
Mom tells me
What does Mom tell me?
What does Mom tell me?
What does Mom tell me?
Mom you know I listen to you
Even when I pretend
You know sometimes I doubt
What would Mom say?
Mom tells me do this do that
Mom tells me
What does Mom tell me?
Mom tells me do this do that
Mom tells me
What does Mom tell me?
What does Mom tell me?
Mom tells me do this do that
Mom tells me
What does Mom tell me?
What does Mom tell me?
What does Mom tell me?
What does Mom tell me?

SONG MEANING

“Maman Me Dit” feels like a lively diary entry set to music. Over a bouncing pop beat, Angelina slips into the role of a spirited daughter who keeps hearing a familiar refrain: “Mom tells me….” Mom’s instructions cover everything from saying thank you and sorry to watching out for boys and turning the volume down. Just like many kids on the brink of adolescence, Angelina playfully pushes back—when Mom says yes she answers no, and when Mom says no she cranks the music louder. The result is a catchy call-and-response that captures the tug-of-war between youthful independence and parental guidance.

Beneath the mischief lies a heartfelt confession. Despite all the eye-rolling and playful rebellion, the singer admits she is listening and ultimately wants her mother to be proud. The chorus of “Que me dit maman?” (“What is Mom telling me?”) shows both curiosity and respect, reminding us that growing up means translating our parents’ rules into our own life lessons. The song celebrates that universal stage when we test boundaries, yet still crave the comfort of knowing someone cares enough to set them. In short, “Maman Me Dit” is a fun, relatable anthem about balancing freedom, family, and the desire to make Mom smile.
