[English]
That's where I love to go
Her heart knows no borders
At her place, we can dance
Barefoot, looking towards the sea
Inside her, there are ten thousand colors
The sun and the Earth
Visit her, it's happiness
At Mama's, at Mama Africa's
At Mama's, at Mama Africa's
...
That's where I love to go
...
Mama always tells the truth
Her laughter chases away the dark clouds
God, it seems
Made Man in her image
At Mama's, at Mama Africa's
At Mama's, at Mama Africa's
At Mama's, at Mama Africa's
At Mama's, at Mama Africa's
...
That's where I love to go
Her heart knows no borders
At her place, we can dance
Barefoot, looking towards the sea
Inside her, there are ten thousand colors
The sun and the Earth
Visit her, it's happiness
At Mama's, at Mama Africa's
At Mama's, at Mama Africa's
At Mama's, at Mama Africa's
At Mama's, at Mama Africa's
At Mama's, at Mama Africa's
...
At Mama's, at Mama Africa's
At Mama's, at Mama Africa's
...
