Cette chanson raconte l’histoire d'un homme qui évoque son enfance marquée par les difficultés et les sacrifices de sa mère. Son père, après avoir sombré dans l’alcool, abandonne la famille, laissant une mère dévouée pour s'occuper de ses quatorze enfants. Malgré les rumeurs et le mépris des voisins, elle leur offre tout son amour et son soutien, les élevant avec tendresse et attention. Les souvenirs heureux qu'il garde, notamment des repas partagés et des câlins du soir, mettent en lumière la force et le dévouement maternels. Dans un registre nostalgique, le narrateur se remémore également le départ de sa mère, et chaque dimanche, il lui rend hommage en lui apportant des roses, symbolisant son amour éternel. Cette chanson s’ancre dans un contexte de luttes familiales et d’amour inconditionnel, soulignant l’importance de la maternité face aux défis de la vie.
