Mama Songtext
von Fatoumata Diawara

Mama

I greet my brave mother
I say thank you

I am a descendant of Djénéba Konaté and Bakari Diawara
Your beloved daughter greets you both
The orphaned children say thank you
The needy people say thank you today
The poverty-stricken people say thank you
Bakari, son of Tati, your beloved daughter greets you
I thank you both

I greet my brave mother


Mother, mother
Thank you
Papa, papa
Thank you

For your endless blessings
For your compassion for the poor
For your resignation and your humility
I thank you

I greet you and thank you, mother
I pray to God and the angels and I place you under their protection

Mother, mother
Thank you
I greet you and thank you, mother
I pray to God and the angels and I place you under their protection
I pray to God and the angels and I place you under their protection
