Mum was the song representing Belarus at the 2006 Contest in Athens, Greece. Polina Smolova performed the song 5th in the semi final, following last-placers Andorra, and preceding Albania. At the close of voting, the song placed second-to-last with just a two-point lead.
The song is about the singer pleading to their mother that they've found the right partner, although their mother disagrees with their choice.

All I tell you, Ma – my heart on fire
Say me no more that he's an arrant liar
I feel so safe 'cause I know he's good
The guys before him were a sort of junk food
Mama, Mama, Mama
Can't you see how I miss him?
Mama, Mama, Mama
Yes, I need only him
Mama, Mama, Mama
Can't you see how I love him?
So by now my doubts are over
I know for sure that he's my dream
I beg you, Ma – some comprehension
We got like strangers due to the tension
Just remember yourself in your teens
And all years after, here is what it means:
Mama, Mama, Mama
Can't you see how I miss him?
Mama, Mama, Mama
Yes, I need only him
Mama, Mama, Mama
Can't you see how I love him?
So by now my doubts are over
I know for sure that he's my...
Never say me, Mama, he is too dangerous
Love can make us broken, but it makes us fly
Let me love him, Mama, don't sigh, don't cry
Be my friend, oh Mama, the passion is right
Mama, Mama, Mama
Can't you see how I miss him?
Mama, Mama, Mama
Yes, I need only him
Mama, Mama, Mama
Can't you see how I love him?
So by now my doubts are over
I know for sure that he's my...
Mama, Mama, Mama
Mama, Mama, Mama
Mama, Mama, Mama
So by now my doubts are over
I know for sure that he's my...
Mama, Mama, Mama
Can't you see how I miss him?
Mama, Mama, Mama
Yes, I need only him
Mama, Mama, Mama
Can't you see how I love him?
So by now my doubts are over
I know for sure that he's my...
I know for sure that he's my...
I know for sure that he's my dream[1]
