Happy Mama

It's been a forty years and a day Since they came to take her away She got twenty years in jail For riding the freedom train In the end she had to leave SA Into exile in LA When she saw her mama again These are the only words she could say Mama Moya jamula Mama Moya jamula Mama Moya jamula Onmo kefike Kaya Onmo kekuye Kaya But maa Muya jamula Mama Muya jamula Mama thought she'd never see her again Many exiles never returned Nobody knew where her baby had gone But it wasnt long before freedom And when Mandela came out of jail There was her daughter walking next to the man When she ran into her mother's arms These are the only words she could say Mama Moya jamula Onmo kefike Kaya. . . Mama Moya jamula... Onmo kefike Kaya...
