Mama Africa [English translation]

Mama Africa

it's my mother

she is a single mother

and she has to prepare the nursing bottle

everyday

even though she has to work

as packer

in Casas Bahia*

Mama Africa has

many things to do

Besides to take on the baby

Besides to do "denguim" *

A little son has to understand

Mama Africa go and come

But she never stand back from you

When mom leave home

her sons "olodunzam" *

It plays jazz

Mama has callosity in her feet

Mama needs peace

Mama doesn't want to play anymore

Little son, calm down

there is so mischance

in Mama's life
