Maman

This is a song I wrote and performed for my late mother, Prasasanee Chintavej Nuanual. It is my way of honoring her legacy as an amazing wife, mother, and human being. I also dedicate this song to all the amazing mothers out there in the world.

lyrics

You were the hands that held me tight,
Through every storm, through darkest nights.
A heart so pure, so full of grace,
The kindest soul, the warmest embrace.

You taught me love was not a chain,
But something given through the pain.
Through every trial, you never broke,
Your spirit soared, through fire and smoke.

Maman, la lumière de ma vie,
Your love still guides me, it never dies.
In every breath, in every tear,
I feel you near, I know you’re here.
Maman, your heart was my home,
Through every shadow, I’m not alone.
Your legacy lives, in all I do,
In every whisper, in every dream.

You faced the world with a gentle hand,
A warrior’s heart, a love so grand.
From Bangkok’s streets to Kansas skies,
You gave your all, no compromise.
You saw the ghosts, you felt their pain,
Yet still, you smiled through the rain.
You gave to others, though we were poor,
Your heart was rich, forevermore.

Maman, la lumière de ma vie,
Your love still guides me, it never dies.
In every breath, in every tear,
I feel you near, I know you’re here.
Maman, your heart was my home,
Through every shadow, I’m not alone.
Your legacy lives, in all I do,
In every whisper, in every dream.

You gave your all, you stood so tall,
Even when life had no mercy at all.
Your love was fierce, your love was true,
Maman, this world was blessed by you.

Maman, la lumière de ma vie, this song’s for you,
A love so deep, forever true.
No distance, no time could pull us apart,
You live in my soul, you beat in my heart.
