Yeah, I love also this song but... I don't understand why she says: "Mamma do" instead of "Mamma does". In this case, ok, maybe is in order to get a better sound but why she doesn't say "daddy says"??? I'm spanish so, probably will be something i can't undertand. Can anybody answer me?? thanks a lot.
if she said "mama does" then it wouldn't be grammatically correct. she is saying would would my mamma do? which is present tense... what would she do if she found out. if she said "what would my mamma does" then that just straight up doesn't make any sense. it would be like "she does not approve"... and if she said "daddy says" then that doesn't make any sense either. sorry, it's just grammar!

Right! i'm so sorry, I didn't understand correctly the song's lyric and maybe by means of this I couldn't understand she said "would". Thanks for your answer.

To get more specific she's actually using the conditional tense (what would my mama do) along with the imperfect subjunctive (if she knew about me and you) here to create an "if this, then what?" question.

My Spanish is a bit rusty, but I think the translation would be something like:

I don't know if "acerca de nos" is an accurate translation for "about us)", but we're just looking at the verb conjugations anyway, so I guess it's not that important.
