Mama Corsica [English translation]

She always has a little wine

Some fruits, a bit of bread

For the starving friends

Mama Corsica

Her heart is as wide as the sky

She’s as sincere as she’s beautiful

Mama Corsica

She’s like those old ladies in black

Who bear their story inside themselves

Mama Corsica

It even seems that the Good Lord

Was crazy in love with her

Drawing her with his fingers

Mama Corsica

Tonight we’re singing in Corsican for you

Mama Corsica

On behalf of love and friendship

Mama Corsica

Tonight the world has only eyes for you

Mama Corsica

As if the world sung in Corsican to greet you

She always prays for her boys

When they are far from home

Mama Corsica

She smiles when you’re thinking of her

She likes it when you’re faithful to her

Mama Corsica

Don’t believe everything what people say

Basically it’s her who unites us

Mama Corsica

Never mind that there are differences

She doesn’t have preferences

All her children have Corsican blood

Mama Corsica,

tonight we’re singing in Corsican for you

Mama Corsica,

on behalf of love, tonight you’re the land of friendship

Mama Corsica,

tonight the world has only eyes for you

Mama Corsica,

as if the world sung in Corsican to greet you

Mama Corsica
