Les paroles de la chanson "My Mother Told Me" (Ma mère m'a dit) sont une adaptation d'une ancienne mélodie traditionnelle norvégienne appelée "Mitt lille land" (Mon petit pays). La chanson a été popularisée à travers le monde grâce à sa reprise dans la célèbre série télévisée américaine "Vikings".
Les paroles de la chanson sont les suivantes :
My mother told me Someday I would buy Gally with good oars Sail to distant shores
Stand up high In the hall Fast across the waves Move like the wind With strength like a storm
They told me My mother told me When I was young Come sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this, it will help you Some sunny day Oh, take your time Don't live too fast Troubles will come And they will pass
And find a woman, yeah And you'll find love And don't forget, son There is someone up above
And be a simple kind of man Or be something you love and understand Baby, be a simple kind of man Oh, won't you do this for me, son? If you can?
Forget your lust For the rich man's gold All that you need Is in your soul
And you can do this If you try All I want for you, my son Is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man Or be something you love and understand Baby, be a simple kind of man Oh, won't you do this for me, son? If you can?
Boy, don't you worry You'll find yourself Follow your heart And nothing else
And you can do this, oh, baby If you try All I want for you, my son Is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man Or be something you love and understand Baby, be a simple kind of man Oh, won't you do this for me, son? If you can? Oh, if you can?

Elle lui rappelle également de rester simple et de ne pas être obsédé par la richesse matérielle. Elle l'incite à trouver sa propre voie, à suivre son cœur et à être satisfait de sa vie. Cette chanson est une ode à la simplicité, à la recherche du bonheur intérieur et à l'importance des liens familiaux.
