Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mansa, the king, come
The girls are downstairs
Come and see Kama Toure and Mariama
Mariama, Mariama, yo
My father has said that if I sleep with a girl
I will be a dead man
I say thank you Kama Toure and Mariama
Hey Mariama, Heyo Mariama
Thank you
The song "Mariama" by Moulla Mint Cheikh/Pape & Cheikh is a joyful celebration of a young man's love for his partner. The lyrics are directed towards Mariama, with the singer calling out to her to come and join him. The song suggests that Mariama is an important figure in the community, with the king himself mentioned as being present in the area. The singer acknowledges that if he were to sleep with a girl, his father would be unhappy and he would face serious consequences. However, he expresses gratitude to Mariama and Kama Toure for their love and companionship.
The song can be interpreted as a celebration of love that transcends societal pressures and conventions. The proclamation of thanks towards Mariama and Kama Toure suggests that they have supported the singer in his relationship, despite the potential consequences. The presence of the king raises questions about social hierarchies and power dynamics, but the song seems to reject these divisions in favor of celebrating love and community.
