Awww this is sweet! She has the typical Hungarian accent! Édes! Még a magyar akcentusa is megvan az anyukájának!

RIP to Gene's mom Flora :(

No matter how old and famous you get..you will always be your mom's baby.

Not only the singing in Hungarian, but the moment of 1:38 when she asks: "May I kiss you?"

Priceless is the love between a mother and her child, and to witness the soft side of Gene with his AMAZING mother is definitely a little gift to us all!

Az édesanyja milyen szépen énekli a dalt. Pont mint a régi magyar filmekben.

Rest In Peace Flóra Klein. You will be missed. She passed away today 12/09/2018 at the age of 92.

I was never a fan of kiss, but if there is something I admire gene simmons more than anything, it is the love and respect he felt for his beloved mother, that says a lot about him.

His mom is so adorable. And I honestly love that she encouraged him to follow his dreams and bought him his first guitar. Good job Mom!

Gene, if you read this, I am so proud of you while sitting with your Mother. She is a superstar in my eyes, after all she raised you. I looked at your videos and the cemetery scene moved me the most. I am a Hungarian/American woman and one of your biggest fans. I understand the song you are singing with your Mother and makes me proud of you.

His mother still speaks "hungarian" english... :)

Deeply moving to watch her singing with her son. RIP Mrs Klein.

My heart just melts when your Mom sings to you Gene and when you both sing together. So special.

De aranyos az anyukája! Jó egészséget kívánok nekik!

R.I.P. Flora Klein

Gene your Mom is a sweetheart! Your very lucky.

How amazing to see a big rock star singing in Hungarian with his Mom.....this is so sweet and precious. Szeretlek Jeno!! XOX

Give that woman the deepest respect. I have heard that she is a Holocaust survivor.

His mother is so adorable!

I was happy to see him on the M. Vieira show. He is the same honest, charismatic guy most people want him to be. I am Hungarian and have a lot of respect for him. Good bless.

Gene Simmons mom Flora has passed away a few. Days ago my thoughts and prayers go out to Gene and his family 😢💔🙏😇

My mother was born in Hungary as well , and all I hope that my grandfather wasn't involved in all those horrible things which happened to Jewish people at that time.

Gene is a very loving son....and THAT is priceless

My God, it's so good to hear them singing in Hungarian!! Greetings from Hungary. (:

His mother was beautiful.

"Megcsókolhatlak?" nagyon édes a néni :)

Yes, she does, but actually it is not a coutryside dialect. It is pure Hunagarian. Actually just as good as anyone living here. She is amazing, speaking a perfect Hungarian, without accent or dialect...

What a great Mom! I hope she lives to at least, 100

I agree RIP...greatefully miised..

The song they are singing must be an old melody probably from her generation. It sounds beautiful with the lyrics. The song is about reaching and having a star in the sky. It's also about love for an other person. "Van nekem az egen egy kis csillagom En neked lehozom Nekem az a csillag mindent elmesel...." "I have a little star in the sky I"ll bring it down to you This star will tell me everything....." The Hungarian translation is dream like and wishful almost like a fairy tale. Only a moth

That was beautiful.

RIP Mrs Klein.

Our thoughts our with the Simmons' family today. Stay strong Gene.

Therefore she is a Hungarian Jew and I wish this video would be longer. Again, a wonderful way to thank his Mother for everything she has done for him. He is a great son. Thank Gene for entertaining us. An American-Hungarian lady.

This is unbelievable. His mother still speaks English with Hungarian accent - and sings in Hungarian with "countryside dialect".

I ❤ when his mother kisses him on the face

Didnt know Gene Simmons was hungarian.

I'm Hungarian Roma; born outside of Budapest and all, but I was adopted by White Americans as an infant. I'm so glad to see fellow Hungarians, especially non-Rom, singing my people's music. When Gene told a Hungarian radio station during an interview that this was a "Gypsy" song, the interviewers became very uncomfortable as they were obviously Antiziganist and didn't see Roma as fellow Hungarians, let alone Romani in general as fellow Europeans. They were so certain that it was some sort of White Hungarian traditional. I'm so glad that Gene acknowledges that all people in Hungary: Roma, Ashkenazi, Austrian, "pure Magyar", Turkish, Romanian and even those with slight Mongolian-descent, etc. are all equally Hungarian. We're a diverse country and many of the groups that people attack for not being "true Hungarian" still have ethnic "Hungarian" blood and roots, (I'm actually part Magyar myself), or belong to genetically similar Eastern European ethnic groups found throughout not only Central Europe and Eastern Europe, but also parts of the Balkans. We're all the same; there's no need to divide us. We're all proud Hungarians at the end of the day.

You have a beautiful mother, Gene.

@guszti68 yes because his mother born in Jánd, in Szabolcs county, in the very East part of Hungary. You can know that dialect from that diphthongs, specific to that part of Hungary only... :)

Gene's mother tongue language is Hungarian because his mom always talked to him in Hungarian when he was a baby and a little boy !

this is not a Hungarian countryside dialect the mother of gene speaks in but the one she spoke when she left Hungary in the late 40's...so this is rather obsolete but cute and respectable and I am so proud of her and Gene to have kept it alive... THANK U and may the lord be with u all

Büszke vagyok rájuk. Gene anyukája egy jól nevelt úri nő.

Gene had a Wonderful Mom!!! RIP.

What a lovely woman 🥺

His mother is awesome lol

god bless you both

The way a man treats his mother is the way he will treat his wife. Gene adores both.

God please be with Gene RIP Gene's mother such a strong and beautiful mother! God I love them both

Dude, I'm Roma and had to be adopted from Hungary by White Americans of non-Hungarian-descent. The fact that Gene not only grew-up singing this traditional Romani song, but then also defended on us on live Hungarian radio and also pointed at Hungarians can be of "Gypsy", Jewish (namely Ashkenazi), Romanian (various religions), and Turkish-descent, as well as other things, meant the world to me! Part of my adoption required that I at least learn a bit about Hungarian culture and my parents in their best efforts threw a bunch of names of famous famous Hungarians & Hungarian-Americans at me a small child. It was cute how hard they tired, as they'd also point out Hungarians and raddled of facts & stuff anytime someone was on T.V. or in a movie. Gene, along with the Gabor Sisters and Tony Curtis, were the first famous Hungarians that I ever had an awareness of and have always made me super proud of my nationality & ethnicity! (And yes, Hungarians of all background usually have some level of "Magyar" heritage, even if it's just 1%!)

Gene Simmons is a good son. He makes sure to take care of his Mother, above all.

I love this cute granma!!!!

Say what you want about Gene - He loves his Mom and that's always a good thing.

Beautiful, thanks for posting.

You've got one beautiful mother.....

Everybody says Gene is an asshole (even he himself admits to being one...) But seeing him with his mom shows that deep inside he's just a teddy bear.

Awww bless, love this! She talks just like my Hungarian mother..super sweet!

That was so sweet.... I love the Simmons family.....

We will always love you Florence!!!! God wrap her in Your Arms!!!

To finish my previous comment; only a mother can sing this to her child in such a loving way and this song could be a lullaby. You Hungarians should be proud of your Hungarian/Jewish countryman with fame and accomplishments.

Rég esett ilyen jól valami, kösz Gene, Gene anyukája és feltöltő

Wow! Hungarian!!!

I just found out today that she passed away. Rest In Peace Flora ❤️

Gene Simmons hungarian? This is great

i'm proud that Gene is hungarian too.

ALWAYS THE BEST!!!!!!! LOVE ❤ HUGS 🫂; Flora instilled in Gene the Will of God pretty much!!!!!! GOD OF ROCK!!!! GOD OF THUNDER and Flora is WISDOM and still continues to be THE WISDOM to Genie's GOD!!!!! God Bless you Cher for calling Gene "Genie" like a Genie in a bottle. ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Flora FOREVER!!!!!

I love this! she sounds like my nagymama I miss her so much!!

RIP miss Flora :(

I love a man who loves his mama.

She is precious

@abducasa1 Gene was raised speaking the language and Hebrew, so he is quite fluent indeed.

I love this video a lot. Greetings, Gene 💙💔

for those who say that Gene don't have a heart, here is an example of being a lovely son

this is so awesome, he still speaks perfect hungarian!!

God bless her......she’s was such a sweet woman!!!

Gene's mom WAS the SUPERSTAR. What a sweet gorgeous lady.

Gene and his daughter look exactly alike when they roll their eyes. Funny 😄

I love him because of the way he is with his mother.

Beautiful Mom

@guszti68 It's not strange at all, when I was in the US, I had the same experience with all people who left Hungary in their adulthood, they all spoke like this.

Cute mamas boy 💙🙏

What a lovely voice, so nice to see them together

Yes, she's perfect, speaking perfect Hungarian, and Gene is just as good :-)

She was a real doll!

She was a beautiful woman and human being. RIP

It is amazing her mother speaks such perfect Hungarian and actually Gene's Hungarian is not bad either :-). I love this video :-)

Wonderful take

Szép :) Beautiful.

Gene is one of the few rock stars with no tattoos, it goes against Judaism and would have offended his mother, assuming he wanted one anyways.

@irondeth2 she was born in Hungary, lived there until she grew up and had to leave. so she IS Hungarian, and Jewish is still not a nation, but a religion.

such an awesome mom and son

Magyarországra látogathatna időnként. Bár Gene egyik nyilatkozatában azt közölte a '44 - '45-ös emlékek fájnak neki Magyarországról. He should visit Hungary at time. Tough, Gene said he has bad memories from the '44- 45's in Hungary. What a shame. I'd really like to greet him at the airport every year :D

Gene Simmons should be respected by everyone, the guy is fucking smart as fucking hell and one of the most talented people on the face of the earth.

Yur very lucky to have yur mom here with you ! . Lost mine @ 11 I am now the BIG %) !lol

@onefodderunit you can see how she got through the war

Ms. Florence is still so beautiful. We love her.

They are soo dear together. I never felt this feeling

@guszti68 Well, I think, on the opposite. She still speaks Hungarian with English accent and her Hungarian does not have any dialect :-)

Wow, his mother still had the "accent". That maybe because she was in her 20s when she arrived in U.S. Rip Flora!

that was so cuuuuute!:)
