Mamaiéba

Nana Mouskouri

In this life filled with loneliness and sorrow
Gentle breeze blows, so softly wakes the morning
Wakes the morning
The air is still, see the night is yawning
Night is yawning
Feel the warmth of the first shy yellow sun rays falling
Sun rays falling
Hear the birds sing, a newborn day are calling

In this life filled with loneliness and sorrow
Sorrow
Where dark are the dreams and the paths are narrow
Paths are narrow
Let your heart, freedom, peace, love, tenderness to follow
To follow
Singing these words : "Think of a new tomorrow"

Ooh, mamamaïé, mamaïéba, mamaïéba
Ooh, mamamaïé, mamaïéba, mamaïéba
Ooh, mamamaïé, mamaïéba, mamaïéba
Ooh, mamamaïé, mamaïéba, mamaïéba

Children's laughter around with smiling faces
Smiling faces
Like flowers bloom, know no tribes or races
Tribes or races
Give them love, give them hope and music from all places
From all places
Eagles fly high, always to find new spaces

Ooh, mamamaïé, mamaïéba, mamaïéba
Ooh, mamamaïé, mamaïéba, mamaïéba
Ooh, mamamaïé, mamaïéba, mamaïéba
Ooh, mamamaïé, mamaïéba, mamaïéba
Ooh, mamamaïé, mamaïéba, mamaïéba
Ooh, mamamaïé, mamaïéba, mamaïéba
Ooh, mamamaïé, mamaïéba, mamaïéba
Ooh, mamamaïé, mamaïéba, mamaïéba
Ooh, mamamaïé, mamaïéba, mamaïéba
Ooh, mamamaïé, mamaïéba, mamaïéba
Ooh...
