Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

C'est là-bas que j'aime aller
Son cœur ne connait pas de frontières
Chez elle on peut danser
Pieds nus en regardant vers la mer
Il y a en elle, dix mille couleurs
Le soleil et la Terre
S'invitent chez elle c'est le bonheur
Ashè é Mama, ashè é Mama Africa (Maman Afirika)
Ashè é Mama, ashè é Mama Africa (Maman Afirika)
(Maman Afirika)

Min dé lè tin bo dji djan yin
Bomin dé lè fon do nou wa wè
C'est là-bas que j'aime aller
Mama dit toujours la vérité
Son rire fait fuir les sombres nuages
Dieu, à ce qu'il paraît
Aurait fait l'Homme à son image
Ashè é Mama, ashè é Mama Africa (Maman Afirika)
Ashè é Mama, ashè é Mama Africa (Maman Afirika)
Ashè é Mama, ashè é Mama Africa (Oh, Maman Afirika)
