Mother's Day


26 May is celebrated in Poland as Mother's Day. What's interesting this festival falls on different days in various countries :

in the UK and Ireland - the fourth Sunday in Lent (=Wielkiego Postu)
in the USA, Australia - second Sunday of May
France - first Sunday of June [Pentecost (= Zielone Świątki) also occurs on this day]

On the occasion of Mother's Day I would like to recall a song of the band 'The Shireless' - 'Mama said'. The African American girl group achieved popularity in the early 1960s.
Below you can find the lyrics of the song to sing along... ;)


Mama said there'll be days like this, 
There'll be days like this Mama said 
(Mama said, mama said) 
Mama said there'll be days like this, 
There'll be days like this my Mama said 
(Mama said, mama said) 
I went walking the other day, 
Everything was going fine, 
I met a little boy named Billy Joe 
And then I almost lost my mind 
Mama said there'll be days like this, 
There'll be days like this Mama said 
(Mama said, mama said) 
Mama said there'll be days like this, 
There'll be days like this my Mama said 
My eyes are wide open 
But all that I can see is, 
chapel bells are callin for everyone but-a me 
but I don't worry cause 
Mama said there'll be days like this, 
There'll be days like this Mama said 
(Mama said, mama said) 
Mama said there'll be days like this, 
There'll be days like this my Mama said 
And then she said someone will look at me 
like I'm looking at you one day
, 
then I might find 
I don't want it any old way, 
so I don't worry cause 
Mama said there'll be days like this, 
There'll be days like this Mama said 
(Mama said, mama said) 
Mama said there'll be days like this, 
There'll be days like this my Mama said 
Mama said, mama said 
Hey! Don't you worry, 
Mama said mama said 
Hey! Don't you worry now. 
Mama said mama said, 
Hey! Hey!

How do you usually celebrate Mother's Day?
