Mama Africa
Mama Africa
a minha mae,
é mae solteira
e tem de fazer mamadeira
todo o dia
além de trabalhar
como empacotadeira
nas Casas Bahia
Mama Africa tem
Tanto que fazer
Alem de cuidar neném
Alem de fazer denguim
Filhinho tem que entender
Mama Africa vai e vem
Mas nao se afasta de voce.
Quando mama sai de casa
seus filhos se olodunzam
rola o maior jazz
Mama tem calos nos pés
Mama precisa de paz
Mama nao quer brincar mais
filhinho da um tempo
é tanto contratempo
no ritmo de vida de Mama
Mama Africa
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
