Mariama
Pape & Cheikh Lyrics
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 Pape & Cheikh is a beautiful tribute to the eponymous Mariama. The opening lines of the song call for Mariama and Mansa, the king, to come together. The mention of the girls being downstairs is intriguing, suggesting that something special is happening that they should witness. It's unclear who Kama Toure is, but he is highly regarded and almost revered in the song, as the singer thanks him along with Mariama for something. Later in the song, the singer reveals that his father has warned him against sleeping with a girl, threatening that he would be a "dead man" if he did. However, the singer rejects his father's warning and thanks Mariama and Kama Toure for their role in the matter.

Cette chanson est dans ma playlist de footing et elle passe quand j'arrive vers les 5km et que je commence à m'épuiser. Cela me donne un bon coup de fouet et je repars de plus belle. Je la chante en courant comme un fou et les gens me dévisagent bizarrement lol
