My English interpretation

(The very first translation I did)

You dressed me, undressed me, raised me
And we moved too.
Well, I also lied to you
No, those drugs I don’t do
And yes, I was in class too
You would often ask yourself what was tearing me apart inside
But in you, I didn’t want to confide
You were home all alone; you missed me
And asked yourself what you still meant to me
And asked yourself what you still meant to me

Mom, you mean the world to me.
You are my home.
My home is you.

You picked me up and dropped me off
And you stayed awake that night when I had whooping cough
You are so wonderful, you are so kind
And all of this has been so often on my mind
We were in Prague, Munich, Amsterdam, and Berlin
When you think about it, where didn’t we go?
You would often ask yourself what was tearing me apart inside
And honestly, I just don’t know
You were home all alone; you missed me
And asked yourself what you still meant to me
And asked yourself what you still meant to me

Mom, you mean the world to me.
You are my home.
My home is you.
