Mamma mia! Mother of Mine! as everyone has said, it's Italian, and used in italian as a mild emphasiser in conversation, a bit like "flipping heck!" or "bother!" - so in the Abba Song, Mamma Mia, here I go again, ...how can I resist you? etc - they're singing about being attracted to a guy, knowing it's not good for you, being annoyed with yourself, but not being able to stop yourself "Flipping, heck! here I go again!"

Mama - My Chemical Romance? Not really an old song but it does mention mama repeatedly and talks about hell.

mamma is mother / mia is my invert them around as adjectives go after the noun in Italian and you get my mother as a literal translation. It is used to say 'Oh blimey' or similar in a non offensive way

All the other answerers have given you the correct translation. But the correct spelling is: mamma mia (2 "m"s).

It means 'my mom'. But it's like Oh dear!! Oh my God!! etc.
Usually when you're unpleasantly surprised.
